Doctor Who: The Moonbase DVD review

Anton van Beek  |  Jan 30, 2014

As a new Doctor prepares to make his TV debut, it's the end of an era for the classic DVD range...

Unless another cache of missing episodes turns up we're now in the home stretch of classic Doctor Who DVDs. This Patrick Troughton four-parter from 1967 marked the second appearance of the Cybermen and helped cement the 'base under siege' style of production. The two surviving episodes have been lovingly restored for this DVD and joined by two gorgeous new animated reconstructions of the missing episodes. The typically superb collection of extras include commentaries, info-text on the two surviving episodes, a half-hour Making of… doc and a photo gallery.

Doctor Who: The Moonbase, BBC Worldwide, R2 DVD, £20 Approx
HCC VERDICT: 4/5
