We've posted news for both "The Claws of Axos" (episode 57) and "City of Death," (episode 105) but the BBC officially announced both titles today, with a release date of
November 8, a week later than originally reported.
David Lambert did such a wonderful job writing up the details of "City of Death," that I won't try to duplicate his efforts here, so please see his
previous news item regarding the release. He's only missing the price ($34.98) and the running time (100 mins).
"The Claws of Axos," featuring Jon Pertwee, will be a single-disc release, but it'll still be packed with extras, including:
- Audio Commentary by producer Barry Letts, Katy Manning and Richard Franklin
- Behind the Scenes Featurette (27 mins)
- Now and Then Featurette (7 mins)
- Reverse Standards Conversion - The Axon Legacy (10 mins)
- Directing Who (15 mins)
- Photo gallery
- Production Notes
The 96 min DVD will sell for $24.98.
Here's artwork for both releases:
