Dr Who and the Daleks (1965). UK Restored version Blu-ray/DVD available 27th May 2013.

2013 marks the centenary of celluloid legend of film and TV great Peter Cushing, as well as the 50th Anniversary of the first appearance on television of the legendary Timelord. 

To honour this, Studio Canal are delighted to announce the release on DVD and Blu-­‐ray of both the only cinematic incarnations of the Doctor’s adventures, suitably putting him against his most infamous foes, The Daleks: Dr Who and the Daleks and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. Both have been digitally re-­‐mastered and are available in HD for the first time.

These releases are accompanied by a host of specially created new extras including a look at the restoration work and brand new interviews. In celebration, Studio Canal and the ICO are also pleased to say that both films will be back onto the big screen across the UK.

Directed by Gordon Flemyng and now fully restored, Dr Who and the Daleks (1965) was the first big screen film adaptation of British TV’s most iconic sci-­‐fi hero, and the first time Doctor Who was ever seen in colour!

British film legend Peter Cushing plays everyone’s favourite Timelord, and having invented the Tardis, a strange machine capable of travelling into other dimensions, the Doctor and his three young companions set forth on a quest through time and space.

Their journey takes them into the dark, undiscovered depths of the universe and to the planet of Skaro. A primitive world devastated by nuclear war and populated by two warring species, a peaceful tribe known as Thals and a life form heavily mutated by radiation, encased in protective machines. 

A merciless force of destruction known as The Daleks!
