DVD Features:
- commentary by
actors Sylvester McCoy (the Doctor) and Sophie Aldred (Ace);
- numerous deleted scenes;
- two trailers;
- optional text production commentary
via the subtitles;
- isolated synchronous music soundtrack
(the episodes play with just the music track running with this selected);
- two multi-camera-angle sequences (one
of Ace attacking a Dalek with a baseball bat and then nearly being exterminated
herself and the other of the
impressive gate explosion sequence);
- an outtakes reel
- photo gallery
- stereo sound
- Two necessary changes have been made
to the music soundtrack from the original version where two original Beatle recordings had been used as background
music playing on the jukebox in Harry's Cafe. The rights to use these had
expired and could not be renewed
at any price due to a blanket policy decision by the current owner of that
music, and so they had to be removed
and replaced with very similar-sounding cover versions. (The
VHS version, still available, has the original recordings still on it as the
rights hadn't expired yet when that was first released.)

actors playing the major parts in this story.

disc.
