Though there is not yet a release date, the 90-minute colourisation of the Doctor Who story The War Games currently only available on BBC iPlayer will become available on Blu-Ray and DVD.

Originally aired in 1969, The War Games marked the end of an era for the Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton), as he and his companions Zoe (Wendy Padbury) and Jamie (Frazer Hines) land the TARDIS in a battlefield that appears to be a World War I military zone — but all is not as it seems. They soon discover that soldiers from different historical periods have been abducted and are being manipulated in a cruel game. As they work to uncover the mystery behind the War Lord and his twisted experiments, the Doctor faces one of his most difficult challenges.

The colourised version will feature the never-before-seen regeneration of the Second Doctor into the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) plus recovered footage not seen since the original broadcast.

The release also includes the original ten episodes in black and white as they were first broadcast, plus all special features from the previous release.

UK fans can watch The War Games on BBC iPlayer and pre-order The War Games on steelbook, DVD and Blu-ray from Amazon (steelbook, DVD and Blu-ray), HMV (steelbook, DVD and Blu-ray), Zavvi (steelbook and Blu-ray) and Rarewaves (steelbook, DVD and Blu-ray) to be released “soon”.
