From the BBC website:
Sixth Doctor adventure to be released on DVD.
BBC Worldwide and 2Entertain have announced the forthcoming DVD release of the 1985 Doctor Who adventure The Mark of the Rani.
Starring Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and Nicola Bryant as his American companion Peri Brown, The Mark of the Rani sees the Doctor pitted against not one, but two evil Time Lords - his old enemy The Master (played with great relish by Anthony Ainley) and the glamorous yet deadly Rani (Kate O'Mara).
When the Doctor and Peri arrive in North East England in the early 19th Century, they discover groups of violent men rampaging around the countryside, smashing up machinery. What's causing this strange behaviour? And does it have anything to do with the presence of famous inventor George Stephenson?
The Mark of the Rani DVD contains two 45-minute episodes, plus a bumper collection of extras:
Commentary by Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant and Kate O'Mara
Lords and Luddites: A 40-minute documentary, featuring comments from Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, Kate O'Mara, writers Pip and Jane Baker, actor Gary Cady, script editor Eric Saward and composer Jonathan Gibbs
Now and Then: A look at the Blists Hill Victorian Museum used as the main filming location for this adventure
Blue Peter: An 11-minute feature on the history of Ironbridge Gorge
Saturday Superstore: Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant appear on the BBC children's show, and receive a phone call from an old friend...
Deleted and extended scenes
Photo gallery, PDFs of the 1985 Doctor Who Annual and Radio Times listings for this story
Isolated music score for the whole story by Jonathan Gibbs, and an alternate music score for episode one by composer John Lewis
The Mark of the Rani is currently scheduled for release on 4 September 2006 in the UK (dates are, as always, subject to change).
