Last month, Whovians around the world were treated to the digital release of the Fourth Doctor story, Shada.
Written by Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), the Tom Baker adventure was never finished – until now! Combining original footage from 1979 and hand-drawn animation, Whovians can enjoy the complete Shada like never before.
Complete with fantastic extras (click ), the feature-length story was made available on DVD and Blu-ray earlier this month in the UK, with releases in North America and Australia to follow in 2018.
Check out what critics have been saying about Shada below.
“This is vintage Douglas Adams, and the legendary writer’s quick-fire wit is very much on display here.”

“There's such love and care on display, built upon years and years of waiting for this story to finally be told in full, that Shada becomes so much stronger than the sum of its decent-at-best parts.”

“The animated sections are hugely effective. Tom Baker is absolutely on form as the Doctor, and Neame’s villain is delight.”
