A specially shot announcement trailer for the fourth Doctor series Blu-ray The Collection – Season 14 was released featuring Louise Jameson, who played Leela in the series and a VOC robot from The Robots of Death.
The trailer was penned by Doctor Who writer Pete McTighe, who wrote Kerblam! and the upcoming Doctor Who Series 12 episode Praxeus.
Tom Baker’s third season as the fourth Doctor will be available on Blu-ray on Monday, April 20.
In 1976, Doctor Who took a dramatic new turn, electrifying audiences with changes in format, companion and appearance of the TARDIS. Season 14 saw the departure of the Doctor’s long-term companion Sarah Jane Smith, and the introduction of Leela. The season contains some of Tom Baker’s most iconic serials, with intrepid investigations in Victorian London, deadly robots in a murderous whodunit, a return to the Doctor’s homeworld, and one of the saddest goodbyes in Doctor Who history.
Producer Phillip Hinchliffe led Doctor Who through a creative high, joined by Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, Louise Jameson as the Doctor’s captivating new companion Leela and guests stars Tim Pigott-Smith, Stephen Thorne, Peter Pratt, Pamela Salem, David Collings, Christopher Benjamin and Trevor Baxter.
