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 Valeyard's prosecution continues as he presents damning evidence of the Doctor's interference on the planet Thoros Beta. Dangerous experiments are being carried out there that could affect the future of all life, and they must be stopped.
But why is the Doctor so determined to help his former enemy — the greedy, opportunistic Sil? And why has he turned against his companion Peri? One thing is certain: someone will die..." Special features - Commentary with Colin Baker (The Doctor), Nicola Bryant (Peri) and Philip Martin (Writer)
