"Delicate matter, slightly. It's about a book..."
Chris Parsons is happily engrossed in studying post-graduate physics at Cambridge, when one day he finds an old book, sitting on a dusty shelf in an ageing professor's library. Written in a language nobody can read and made of a paper that can't be torn, this is no ordinary book. And when it enters his life, everything changes for young Chris Parsons.
Soon finding himself aboard an invisible space-ship, chased by monsters made of molten rock; aboard an alien prison on a distant planet and attacked by a horde of mind-control zombies. Chris also meets a strange man with a very long scarf who claims he can travel through time and space... in a police box.
It's going to be a busy day for Chris Parsons.
An abandoned Doctor Who classic is brought to life. Starring Tom Baker and written by Douglas Adams, this is "Shada" for a modern audience, with footage upscaled to high definition, and incomplete footage now completed using high-quality animation.

Love It!
Definitely worth picking up. It's multi-regional, so it can play on just about any DVD Player and as for the feature itself, it was flawless! If you're a fan of the Fourth Doctor, Classic Doctor Who or just a Doctor Who fan in general, definitely consider picking this up. You will not regret it!

Shada Bluray
Being a Doctor Who fan for decades, I really enjoyed seeing this "lost episode", along with the bonus material. I thought there would be a problem switching between live action and animation, but this did not bother me at all. It was great seeing the added final live scene with Tom Baker. Quality of the video was great on this bluray.
