DVD Features
  • Kamelion - Metal Man:
 A short documentary on the short stint of the companion known as Kamelion. 
 

 
  • Magna Carta:
 Get a brief tutorial in British history as this featurette explores the historical context that brought about one of Britain's most important documents - the Magna Carta.
 

 
  • Photo Gallery:
 Once again we are treated to many rare production stills and quite a few behind the scenes ones as well.
 

 
  • Information Text:
 Lots of trivia and tidbits of Whovian detail are provided.  The text appears intermittently along the bottom of the screen and is written by members of the Doctor Who Restoration Team.
 

 
  • PDF Files:
 Accessible from any computer with a DVD drive, a PDF of some of the original Radio Times press clippings.
 

 
  • Audio Options:
 The first audio option allows you to listen to an audio commentary.  The participants on this commentary are Peter Davison (The Doctor), Isla Blair (Isabella), and script editor Eric Saward.

The second option is an audio commentary by director Tony Virgo, but for episode 1 only.

The final audio option is the isolated soundtrack.  With this feature you will hear Jonathan Gibbs' musical score sequentially as it appears in the episode.  This does mean that there are long gaps of silence in between music cues.
