This story marks the series return to 'modern day' London. Unfortunately, our intrepid adventurers are only an inch high! And to add to the drama, Barbara has been poisoned by insecticide, as the crew race against time to get back to normal size and save her. This is very much "Honey I Shrunk the Doctor!".
One of the treats of this DVD is a reconstructed episode 4.This story was broadcast in 3 episodes but originally planned as 4. For various reasons, the originally scripted episodes 3 and 4 were condensed to just one. Now for the first time, those original scripts for 3 and 4 are brought to life with the original living actors and stand-in voicing the dialogue and some clever editing and new footage cobbled together. A joy to behold!
By this point in our crew's travels, you can feel the genuine affection they have for each other and the bond they have forged over the past year. It is what turns out to be a final moment of peace before the events of the next story, when the TARDIS family will be changed forever....
