The Curse of Fenric

The Doctor and Ace are put to the ultimate test when the TARDIS dematerializes in World War II England at a top-secret naval base.  The army church, built on Viking graves, bears inscriptions calling for the wolves of Fenric to return for their treasure.   Thereafter evil will reign...  Even as the Doctor translates the words hideous corpses rise up from the sea, the evil Fenric now free to summon his wolves to a killing rampage.

With a new slant on Dr. Judson, and a more substantial confrontation between the Ancient Haemovore and the Doctor, this Doctor, this special extended production of The Curse of Fenric brings additional excitement to the story originally broadcast- good standing against evil with only the Doctor to play the final moves...

• "The Curse of Fenric" is the third story of the final season of Doctor Who, and continues the Ace centered theme started in the previous story "Ghostlight."  The final story in the Ace arc is also the final Doctor Who adventure to be broadcast, "Survival."

• Although seen near the end of the final season of Doctor Who, "Curse" was actually recorded first.

• The working title for this story was "The Wolves of Fenric."

• This story has had the same treatments as several other McCoy stories, and has had many scenes originally edited out restored again for this video release.

• "The Curse of Fenric" is considered by many fans to be one of the best Doctor Who stories and certainly one of the best McCoy adventures.  If its not at the top of your list of videos to buy, then it should be.

• A DVD version of this story is expected here in North America sometime in 2004 and will contain even more footage not seen in the VHS edition.
