Doctor Who: Mara Tales - DVD

A 2-disc DVD box set containing the classic Doctor Who stories 'Kinda' and 'Snakedance' will be released next month.

Both 'Mara Tales' stories feature Peter Davison as The Doctor, Janet Fielding as Tegan, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Matthew Waterhouse as Adric.

Synopsis
In KINDA, the Tardis lands on the jungle planet Deva Loka, around the same time as an expeditionary vessel from earth. Leaving a temporarily disabled Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) behind, the Doctor (Peter Davison), Adric (Matthew Waterhouse), and Tegan (Janet Fielding) decide to explore the planet -- and, eventually, to solve the disappearance of several earth astronauts.

SNAKEDANCE: The malignant telepathic force Mara, last heard from in the 19th-season adventure KINDA, once again takes over the mind of Tegan (Janet Fielding), the travelling companion of the Doctor (Peter Davison). Under Mara's evil influence, Tegan hijacks the TARDIS and pilots the vessel to the planet Manussa -- where the denizens are celebrating the 500th anniversary of Mara's destruction.

The release also contains a number of exclusive special features, including a commentary with the cast and crew, documentaries and behind the scenes footage, a photo gallery and digitally re-mastered picture and sound quality.

The box set is due for release on 7th March 2011 at the RRP of £29.99.
