DVD release (with cover blurb) Edit

Each issue came with a DVD release.

Reversible DVD sleeves enabled the collector to display one of two designs featuring either the Doctor and his enemies or his companions.

• State of Decay

"There are vampire legends on almost every inhabited planet … "

Still trapped in E-Space, the Fourth Doctor, Romana, K-9 and their new friend Adric stumble across a medieval world ruled by a trio of dark lords. Why do blood-sucking bats swarm through the forests of this twilight planet? Wha is the secret of the castle that dominates the village? Why do Camilla, Aukon and Zargo need a regular supply of ‘volunteers’? And has the TARDIS really landed on a planet of the undead?

Notable Information Edit

• Romana once worked in the Bureau of Ancient Records on Gallifrey, and had heard of the ‘Record of Rassilon’ – a record that was routinely fitted to all Type 40 TT Capsule TARDIS.
• The Chess Pits of Vegas 12 hosted ‘Live Chess’ matches – an arena sport in which the pieces on the board carried an electric charge that increased with every move.
• The Seventh Transept was a sealed crypt where the Headless Monks kept their ‘leftovers’.
• Sarn was a colony world of the Trions once used as a prison planet for political rebels.
• The set used for Bowie Base One was formerly used as the Torchwood hub at the Upper Boat complex in Cardiff because it already had a special water drainage system. Afterwards it was used as the Eleventh Doctor’s TARDIS control room.
