Last Wednesday we were among the first to bring you
the announcement from distributor Warner Home Video: the BBC is scheduling 4 more classic
Doctor Who DVD releases to ship starting from
June 3rd. The titles this time are
Story #052: Doctor Who And The Silurians, Story #062: The Sea Devils and
Story #131: Warriors of the Deep. Since all three arcs concern the cousin undersea races of the Silurians and the Sea Devils, the folks at BBC Video are also releasing them together in a
Beneath The Surface box set.
All the details for those can be found in our report from last week, of course, and the following evening we received
package art for Beneath The Surface, a nice high resolution shot that Warner sent over to us (our thanks to them). Now, courtesy of BBC Video, we have the box art for the three individual packages for you, too! Each of those is seen below, along with the box set.
Extras previously listed have been confirmed by the BBC. Specs for each have been verified to be digitally remastered 1.33:1 full frame video, digitally remastered English Mono audio (preserving the look and sound of the original broadcasts), plus English subtitles and closed captioning for the hearing impaired. Costs are confirmed to be $34.98 SRP for the 2-DVD release of
Doctor Who - Story #052: Doctor Who And The Silurians (CA$43.98 SRP in Canada); the single-disc releases of
Doctor Who - Story #062: The Sea Devils and
Doctor Who - Story #131: Warriors of the Deep will be $24.98 SRP each (CA$30.98 SRP each in Canada); and the 4-DVD box set of
Doctor Who - Beneath The Surface will be $59.98 SRP (CA$74.98 SRP in Canada).
