This past week we brought you BBC Home Entertainment's
announcement that on
August 14th they will release
Doctor Who - Story #051: Spearhead From Space: Special Edition, and the new-to-DVD title
Doctor Who - Story #155: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. Both of these single-disc titles, priced at $24.98, have extensive bonus material on them, but we didn't have complete info for you at the time about those extras. Nor did we have package art for
Greatest Show, either! Now we have that box image for you, shown at bottom (along with a rerun of the
Spearhead: SE artwork). We also have info about the extras for you on both titles; however we should point out that the
Spearhead: SE list of bonus material is directly from the BBC, but the
Greatest Show list is instead copied-and-pasted from the British Board of Film Classification. It's probably accurate, but possibly incomplete. If we find out anything further, we'll certainly update you!
