Hand of Fear coming in July, plus some fun extras:
BBC Worldwide have confirmed the next title to be released in their "Classic Who" range after Inferno will be the 1976 Tom Baker story The Hand of Fear. A four-parter from the show's fourteenth season, the story was the last starring Liz Sladen as fan favourite companion Sarah Jane Smith (who recently returned in the episode School Reunion) and sees her and the Doctor facing off against the tricksy Eldrad.
