Colin Baker’s Classic Final Season of Doctor Who Comes to Blu-Ray!

The Sixth Doctor comes to Blu-ray for the first time, with the release of The Collection - Season 23 (The Trial of a Time Lord) on Monday 23rd September.

In 1985, Doctor Who was taken off the air for an 18 month hiatus. When it returned, it was with an ambitious fourteen-episode adventure, The Trial of a Time Lord. The epic story saw the Doctor on trial for his life, with the court examining his adventures with companion Peri (Nicola Bryant) and looking to his future escapades with new companion Melanie (Bonnie Langford). This season saw the return of popular villain Sil, along with the Master, the towering robot Drathro and the plant-based Vervoid monsters. With the Inquisitor (Lynda Bellingham) overseeing the proceedings, it was the Valeyard (Michael Jayston) who proved the greatest threat, hiding his own sinister motives for wanting the Doctor’s downfall.

Starring alongside Colin Baker is Nicola Bryant, Bonnie Langford, Michael Jayston and Lynda Bellingham. With guest appearances from Anthony Ainley, Nabil Shaban, Joan Sims, Christopher Ryan, Michael Craig, Honor Blackman, Tony Selby and Geoffrey Hughes.

i genuinely think it would be SO FUN having the vervoids return. not only do they have such a funky design and unique characteristics, but they appeared in mel’s first on-screen adventure!!! it would be PERFECT to bring them back at some point considering mel’s return and (likely) prominence in the rtd2 era 👀

Jack Harkness has encountered both the Scorchies and the Vervoids and I think that's wonderful.
