That said, the special edition better justifies a 2-disc release, adding a few more goodies that are relevant to the story, and leaving off some of the others that have since found better homes elsewhere. For sure, either DVD version trumps the sleepy fuzzy VHS video by an astronomical margin, with the newer Special Edition representing better value for money.
Okay, there's room for improvement there. Did it warrant a whole new release? Well, there is an extra commentary thrown in as well. And it is a good story. In this case, I think it was worth it. The Special Edition is notable too for some substantial improvements in restoration, as well as a nice batch of additional features. However, it is missing "Tombwatch", which continues to make the older DVD desirable and worthwhile as a "companion edition".
The new version rules. The new Special Edition does appear to top it, but only marginally. NEW for Nov. NEW for Oct. BUT with the new Special Edition you also get a recently rediscovered, rare episode of "Galaxy Four" surrounded by a substantial, abridged, satisfying recreation of the rest of that story, and it's a good story.
Oh yes! The Special Edition definitely rules here. The thing is, the old disc is good! It's easy to be happy with it. Sure it's bizarre that the cast reassembled for Gatiss's fun mockumentary and DIDN'T also do a proper making-of at the time, but apart from that addition, the new material on the Special Edition doesn't really grab me.
The old material was already pretty good. Tom Baker reprises his iconic role in to do voice recordings with the rest of the original cast and finally complete the story of "Shada" in satisfactory fashion. Originally abandoned due to BBC strikes in , the half-finished existing footage had been resurrected several times already, with different forms of apologies for all those scenes still missing.
The original Legacy Collection DVD from was basically a regurgitation of a edit that first appeared on VHS video cassette, now restored and with a package of good extras. But it still didn't really feature a finished version of the full story. Then in , all the stops were pulled out to get enough of the missing scenes together to finally offer a full version of the story, with voice recordings by the original cast synced up to some good quality animation.
However, one or two elements were not quite as good as before, meaning that the DVD may indeed continue to hold significant value in itself.

Sold by waterview About this product Product Information A podlike spacecraft is on an intercept course for Earth, and nervous humans' first instinct is to shoot first and ask questions later.
Instead, they discover a race of golden, beautiful aliens asking for help and offering an unlimited source of energy--with a catch. Originally this adventure was to be called "The Vampire from Space," but that was too obvious, particularly when the villainous Master Roger Delgado is really behind this latest threat to Earth.
