DVD, VHS and CD Releases
The original soundtrack for this serial was released on CD in the UK in February 2009. The linking narration was provided by Richard Franklin."Doctor Who: The Mind of Evil". Big Finish Productions. Retrieved 23 November 2012.
This story is unique amongst the Pertwee-era stories in that the BBC, for a long time, held no complete colour copies of any of its episodes. Approximately four and a half minutes of colour footage from Episode Six existed on an off-air domestic NTSC Betamax recording. As a full set of b/w 16mm film recordings exists, the story was released on VHS in this format, on 5 May 1998. The colour scenes, restored by combining the colour signal from the off-air recording and the geometry from the film recording, were included as a bonus extra after the story. Several colour clips from the story (presumably from an as yet unreleased restoration of the B/W telerecordings) were included on the 2011 DVD release Day of the Daleks as part of the UNIT family history.
The serial is to be released on DVD on 3 June 2013., with episode one having been manually re-coloured by Stuart Humphryes (AKA YouTube's Babelcolour), and episodes two-through-six restored to colour via the chroma dot colour recovery technique used for the other black-and-white Pertwee-era stories.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
