#56: Box Set - The Trial Of A Time Lord
i) Parts 1 - 4: The Mysterious Planet

NOTE - In the same way that the 'Key To Time' box set took all the stories from a single series and released them in a single set, all four stories from the 23rd series, collectively known as 'The Trial Of A Time Lord', were released in a single box set



Release date - September 2008

Box info:
"The complete fourteen-part epic from 1986 on four DVDs packed with special bonus features!"



Back cover info:
"The Doctor is trial for his life. Plucked out of time and space by the Time Lords, he is charged with transgressing the First Law of Time. He must defend himself against the prosecution led by the sinister Valeyard...

The trial begins as the Time Lords review an adventure from the Doctor's recent past. The setting is Ravolox, where the Doctor and Peri find themselves caught in the conflict between a warrior tribe, a pair of intergalactic con-men and a god-like robot.

But deep below the surface of the mysterious planet lie secrets that threaten the very fabric of the universe. And to protect them, drastic measures have taken that will shock the Doctor to the very core..."
