The William Hartnell story The Savages is the next to get an animated treatment from BBC Studios.

The four part adventure will be released as an animation on DVD and Blu-ray in spring, 2025. This First Doctor story, originally broadcast between May and June 1966, will also be available as a limited edition Blu-ray steelbook.

In The Savages, the Doctor (William Hartnell) and his travelling companions, Steven (Peter Purves) and Dodo (Jackie Lane), arrive on an unnamed planet where they encounter two distinct people – the Elders and the Savages. They soon discover the Elders are the evil, draining the primitive Savages for their life source to remain young and powerful forever.

This story marks the final regular appearance of Purves as Steven.

This three-disc release will include all four 25-minutes animated episodes in both colour and in black and white, as well as exclusive bonus features.

Paul Hembury, Executive Producer, commented: “We have a wonderful team of creators who work together to bring these lost Doctor Who stories back to life through animation.”
