Season 21, featuring Peter Davison’s Fifth Doctor, is now available as part of the Doctor Who: The Collection Blu-ray range.
Watch Destination: Daleks, the new Doctor Who story featuring Peter Davison, Janet Fielding and Mark Strickson as part of the promotional video released to promote the collection.
In Peter Davison’s third and final season, the action ramps up for the Fifth Doctor as he faces terrors from his past, invaders from the future, arch enemies and a battle to the death. With companions Tegan (Janet Fielding), Turlough (Mark Strickson), Peri (Nicola Bryant) and robot Kamelion (Gerald Flood) the Doctor journeys from an underwater seabase to contemporary England, from a devastated Earth colony to the beaches of Lanzarote, from a volcanic alien world to the deadly caves on Androzani. Along the way, the TARDIS crew confront Daleks, Sea Devils, Silurians, Tractators, slug-like Gastropods, the evil Malus and the vengeful Master (Anthony Ainley). Season 21 also introduces Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor.
