The Doctor Who TV Movie on Blu-Ray

Details, art and extras have emerged for the Blu-ray release of the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie, starring Paul McGann.

The release is due this September and will be an upscaled version.

Synopsis:

The Doctor is returning home to Gallifrey with the remains of his arch-nemesis, the Master. Forced off course, the TARDIS arrives in San Francisco on New Year’s Eve 1999, where the Doctor is critically wounded in a gangland gun battle. At the local hospital, Dr Grace Holloway fights – and fails – to save his life.   Later, in the morgue, the Doctor wakes up a new man. But he is not the only one – the Master has also found himself a new body. As the clock counts down to the start of a new millennium, can the Doctor stop his oldest enemy destroying all life on Earth?
