The trailer was released this afternoon and, as expected, it featured Katy Manning as Jo. A couple of girls exploring a seaside cave are attacked by a Sea Devil, which is chased off by Jo. The creature was protecting some eggs, so we get some ecological preaching about climate change (as expected from writer Pete McTighe). One nice aspect is the recognition that Cliff Jones is now dead, allowing for a lovely tribute to Stewart Bevan.
As far as extras go, there is a "Making of" for The Time Monster, and a feature on director Michael E Briant. He and Manning share a sofa, with Sophie Aldred and Wendy Padbury on another, and Peter Davison with Sutton and Fielding on the third.
Other previews in the trailer include a locations piece on the season with Manning, and a feature about stunt performer Stuart Fell. There's also convention footage of Nicholas Courtney and Richard Franklin.
Day of the Daleks comes in three versions - the original, the Special Edition, and the compilation. The Sea Devils also gets an omnibus version.
Amazon list it at £49.99, with a placeholder date of 31st December 2024.
(Update: Now giving 20th March 2023 as release date).
These are the final Katy Manning episodes. All that remains of Pertwee's tenure are his first and last seasons, which have picture quality issues.
With only a single set to his name, I strongly suspect that the next set later this year will be a Davison one (the 20th Anniversary being the most obvious choice in an anniversary year).
