DVD release (with cover blurb)[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Each issue came with a DVD release.
- Reversible DVD sleeves enabled the collector to display one of two designs featuring either the Doctor and his enemies or his companions.
- "I may well become exceedingly hostile!"
- The Doctor decides to test out his newly repaired TARDIS by taking Jo on a trip to Metebelis III. But the duo never make it to that famous blue planet. Instead the TARDIS is miniaturised by the compression field of an alien Miniscope and the Doctor and Jo find themselves trapped in a bizarre sideshow world. Why are the passengers and crew of the 1920s ocean liner SS Bernice trapped in a time loop? Who is Vorg and why has he come to the planet Inter Minor? And can the Doctor and Jo restore themselves to normal size before they are eaten by Drashigs?
Notable information[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Although Cybermen featured (in glimpses) in Carnival of Monsters and The Mind of Evil, the Third Doctor didn't actually meet them until The Five Doctors in 1983.
- In a character twist, the actress Anne Reid, who played the blood sucking Plasmavore in Smith and Jones, also played Nurse Crane in The Curse of Fenric but had the blood drained from her.
- The planet Necros was part of the Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire. It circles a single star and is mostly covered with water.
