DOCTOR WHO: PART-MISSING STORY TO BE COMPLETED WITH NEW ANIMATION

The Web of Fear is the partly missing fifth serial of the fifth season of Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in six weekly parts from February to March 1968. Starring Patrick Troughton as the Doctor, the story concerns an abandoned London and the return of the fearsome Yeti, patrolling the London Underground.

The Web of Fear will be released in 2021 on DVD, Blu-ray and as an exclusive Steelbook next year. And in this new edition, episode 3 will be animated, completing the partly missing adventure, produced by Big Finish Cretive in collaboration with BBC Studios, with animation created by Shapeshifter Studios.

In order to escape an attack in space, the TARDIS makes an unscheduled landing and ends up deep inside the London Underground. Here the travellers soon find themselves engulfed in a thrilling battle with the Great Intelligence and the Yeti, a deadly enemy set to invade the Earth. But as events take a turn for the worse, it becomes clear that the golden prize is not just the Earth, but the Doctor's mind too...

The release includes all 5 surviving episodes, plus a brand new fully animated reconstruction of the missing 6th episode created from the surviving audio-only recordings.
