Seeds and Three Docs DVDs
Wednesday, 5 November 2003 - Reported by Shaun Lyon
As Outpost Gallifrey announced only a week ago, the first two DVDs in release in North America in 2004 are The Seeds of Death starring Patrick Troughton and The Three Doctors starring Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell; the only change to our announcement is the date: they're due on March 2, not in early February. The following are the official press blurbs from BBC Worldwide Americas, plus the cover illustrations for each (click for a larger version).
The Seeds of Death
In the late 21st century the human race has become totally dependent on T-Mat, a revolutionary form of instant travel. The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe arrive on Earth just as T-Mat is suffering a malfunction. Sinister Ice Warriors from Mars have seized the lunar T-Mat Station to launch an invasion of Earth. Their preliminary plan is to transport deadly seedpods that will unleash a fungus capable of absorbing the world's oxygen. The Doctor must race against time to defeat the invaders - or the human race will be doomed to suffocation.
Features audio commentary by actors Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury, director Michael Ferguson and script editor Terrance Dicks; cast biographies; original 8mm footage of the filming of the lost classic The Evil of the Daleks; newly discovered footage from the missing episodes of The Web of Fear and The Wheel in Space; "Sssowing the Ssseedsss," a new 25-minute featurette on the Ice Warriors; production notes; photo gallery. Two-disc set. Warner Home Video catalog #E1924.

The Three Doctors
The Doctor and UNIT are called upon to investigate strange events surrounding Dr. Tyler's research into cosmic rays. UNIT HQ comes under attack by an alien force, and the Doctor has no other option but to call on the Time Lords for help. The Time Lords, too, are under attack - from a mysterious power emanating from a black hole in space. With power reserves falling, the only way they can help the Doctor is to break the First Law of Time and allow him to help himself. The First and Second Doctors are lifted out of their time streams and sent to Earth to help the Third. Between the three of them, they must find a solution to the threat that not only endangers UNIT and Earth, but also the future of the Time Lords themselves.
Features audio commentary by Katy Manning and Nicholas Courtney and producer Barry Letts; cast biographies; interviews with Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning, Nicholas Courtney and writers Bob Baker and Dave Martin; production notes; photo gallery. Warner Home Video catalog #E1925.
