Severin Films celebrates the remarkable legacy of Doctor Who with the North American UHD Premieres of DR. WHO & THE DALEKS and DALEKS’ INVASION EARTH 2150 A.D., each featuring the only performances by Peter Cushing as the legendary Doctor in the only feature films adapted from the long-running BBC series. Newly scanned in 4K from the original 35mm Techniscope negatives, these beloved movies boast more than 10½ combined hours of Special Features that honor Dalekmania, Whovian fandom and the indelible impact Doctor Who continues to have on sci-fi around the world.
DR. WHO & THE DALEKS
At the height of Dalekmania, producers Milton Subotsky and Max J. Rosenberg bought the rights to the black & white BBC-TV serial created by Terry Nation for the Technicolor movie adaptation that delivers “non-stop fun and extermination” (DVD Beaver), now in UHD: When his time-travel phone box TARDIS is accidentally activated, eccentric inventor Dr. Who (genre legend Peter Cushing) – along with granddaughters Susan (Roberta Tovey), Barbara (Jennie Linden) and her bumbling boyfriend Ian (Roy Castle of DR. TERROR’S HOUSE OF HORRORS) – are transported to the planet Skaro where they’re caught in the middle of a war between the benevolent Thals and evil Daleks. Directed by Gordon Flemyng (DALEKS’ INVASION EARTH 2150 A.D.), this 1965 sci-fi favorite “feels like a comicstrip brought to the big screen with bold colors and an upbeat, adventurous tone” (Critical Popcorn) and is newly scanned in 4K from the original Techniscope 3

DALEKS’ INVASION EARTH 2150 A.D.
The Daleks are back – and more brutal than before – in the “impressive work that delivers all-out adventure with refreshingly little messing about” (Eye For Film), now in UHD: When the TARDIS travels to 2150 A.D., Dr. Who (genre icon Peter Cushing) – along with his niece Louise (Jill Curzon), granddaughter Susan (Roberta Tovey) and policeman Tom Campbell (Bernard Cribbins, the BBC-TV series’ future Wilfred Mott) – discovers that humanity has been enslaved by Daleks. As a rebel force of survivors battles the metallic invaders, can the Doctor save the last of London from total extermination? Andrew Keir (QUATERMASS AND THE PIT) co-stars in this “endearing sequel with excellent action scenes” (Empire) directed by Gordon Flemyng (DR.
