The 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie is to be released in 4K later this year.

For the first time, all 219 reels of original film (totalling almost 200,000 feet!) have been pulled from deep storage in the US and meticulously scanned over 21 days, then restored by Paul Vanezis to provide a definitive 4K experience.

The TV Movie has never looked or sounded so good, with a 24-frame transfer to match the original film rushes, and immersive surround sound, rebuilt from the original raw sound elements.

This new release is available on 4K in a limited edition steelbook with exclusive artwork, as well as standard Blu-ray, and includes a host of special features including:

The ‘uncensored’ UK version
The USA broadcast version
Soundtrack in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and stereo
In Conversation with director Geoffrey Sax
Sylvester McCoy and Janet Fielding featurette
3 New Featurettes with Daphne Ashbrook, Eric Roberts and Yee Jee Tso
Two audio commentaries
Isolated music score
Production info text
The Seven Year Hitch making-of documentary
Paul McGann’s audition tape
Alternate takes
Electronic press kit and behind the scenes footage
TARDIS tour
BBC Trails

As yet no release date has been confirmed.
