Classic remastered Peter Cushing Dr Who movies coming to Blu-ray and DVD this May

When trying to keep track of how many Doctors there has been, we mean of the timelord kind, not medical obviously, two things confuse people more than most.

The first is the widely panned Anglo-US attempt to resurrect the series with a TV movie starring Paul McGann, the other are two fondly remembered flicks with Peter Cushing.

Good news! Out on 27th May are the fondly remembered flicks, courtesy of Studio Canal, arriving on both Blu-ray and DVD thanks to some digital remastering. The recommended retail price for each will be £15.99.
