Reversible DVD sleeves enabled the collector to display one of two designs featuring either the Doctor and his enemies or his companions.
"I'm going to die."
The Tenth Doctor's epic final adventure begins when the Ood gives him a chilling message: the end of time is coming. The Doctor travels to Earth in search of answers but all he finds are questions. What does the Silver Cloak want with the Time Lord? Who is Joshua Naismith? What is the secret of the Immortality Gate? And has the Master really returned from the grave?
"We are gathered for the end ..."
The Time Lords have returned and everyone on Earth has been turned into copies of the Master as the Tenth Doctor prepares to take arms for his final battle. With his faithful friend Wilfred Mott by his side, the Doctor must prevent Rassilon from unleashing hell upon the universe and destroying time itself. Will Gallifrey rise or fall? Who is the woman in white? And will someone come knocking before the Tenth Doctor has a chance to save the universe one last time?
