Spearhead from Space occupies a special place for many life long Dr. Who fans. It’s the first series of Dr. Who done in color. It’s the first Dr. Who post the Time Lord wars conclusion. It’s the first Third Doctor adventure. Written by legend Robert Holmes. It is one of only two early Dr. Who to be shot on film, making it a candidate for Blu-Ray. It introduces Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor. Many of these factors have contributed to it being released repeatedly. By my count, Spearhead from Space has been released four times on DVD, two on VHS, and available on iTunes. I’m fortunate enough to have a copy of the 1994 VHS release, so there will be some comparisons here.
