"For the first time ever, SHADA, starring Tom Baker and written by Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency), is presented in a complete, finished version! In 1979, SHADA was set to end the 17th season of Doctor Who, but midway through filming, a strike halted production and the adventure was abandoned. Now, SHADA will be seen at last in a new version combining remastered original footage with brand new animation, featuring newly-recorded voiceover from the original cast, including Tom Baker as the Doctor and Lalla Ward as Romana. Everything changes for Cambridge physics student Chris Parsons one day when he finds an old book sitting on a dusty shelf in an eccentric professor's office. Written in a language nobody can read and made of paper that can't be torn, this is no ordinary book. Soon Chris finds himself aboard an invisible spaceship, chased by monsters made of molten rock, headed towards an alien prison on a distant planet called Shada. 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."--Container.
