The War Games on DVD

The cover and synopsis for an upcoming Doctor Who DVD, The War Games, has been released by 2entertain.

The War Games was first broadcast in Spring 1969 and starred Patrick Throughton as the Second Doctor, Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon and Wendy Padbury as Zoe Heriot. You can view the cover and details below.

When the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe arrive on Earth they find themselves in the midst of a terrifying battle. At the centre of the mystery stand aliens who have kidnapped soldiers from different periods of Earth's history and brainwashed them in to fighting each other. Their aim is to form an invincible army from the survivors and use this to take over the galaxy.

When the Doctor learns the terrible purpose of the War Games he has one chance to defeat the aliens and end the Games... but to take it means risking recapture by his own people, the all-powerful Time Lords who are waiting to bring him to trial and who are capable of ending his very existence.

The War Games will be released on July 6th 2009 in the UK and Ireland at the RRP of £24.99.
