Starring William Hartnell as the first Doctor, this DVD contains two stories
that feature the mysterious Time/Space Visualiser and is loaded with fantastic
extras.
The 1st Doctor sees a terrifying glimpse of his own future and is pursued
through all eternity by the deadly Daleks in these two classic adventures
from 1965…
The Space Museum (1965)
The TARDIS lands on the planet Xeros, where a vast museum houses a collection of
relics from the galactic conquests of the mighty Morok Empire. Whilst they are
exploring, the Doctor and his companions make a disturbing discovery: their
future selves are preserved in the museum as exhibits in a display case! Now the
time travellers face a terrible dilemma: how can they escape their fate, when
every decision they make could be taking them a step closer to their doom?
The Chase (1965)
When the Doctor and his companions discover that a group of time-travelling
Daleks have orders to exterminate them, a dangerous chase across time and space
follows. To escape the Daleks, the TARDIS must travel from the desert planet
Aridius to the top of the Empire State Building on Earth, and from a mysterious
sailing ship to a haunted house. But there is an even greater danger waiting for
the time travellers when they reach the planet Mechanus…
