Description:
Traveling with Nyssa in the TARDIS, the Doctor is attacked by a malign entity -- a being of pure anti-matter seeking to cross the dimensions. Although the invader is successfully repelled, the TARDIS is immediately recalled to Gallifrey, where the High Council of Time Lords sentence the Doctor to be executed to prevent any further attempts at bonding. It seems there is a traitor on Gallifrey. And what links the Renegade and the disappearance of Tegan's cousin in Amsterdam? Two fates intertwined must battle for the future of the entire universe...

Amazon.com:
Surprises abound for Doctor Who fans and the Time Lord himself in Arc of Infinity, a 20th season serial which pits the Doctor (Peter Davidson) against an ancient foe. The villain in question is Omega, a legendary Time Lord whose last appearance on Doctor Who came in the 10th anniversary serial The Three Doctors, and whose exile in an anti-matter universe has driven him mad. Omega wishes to return to the positive matter universe, and attempts to do so by accessing the Doctor's biological information via his home planet of Gallifrey. Fearing that Omega could access other Time Lords' bio-data, the Gallifreyan High Council sentences the Doctor to death. And if that wasn't enough tension, Tegan (Janet Fielding), who was left on Earth in the previous adventure (Time-Flight), uncovers a connection to the Doctor's predicament in Amsterdam while searching for her cousin. Arc of Infinity is a suspenseful and imaginative four-part serial for Davidson's Doctor, and longtime Doctor devotees will note the presence of past and future Who stars Michael Gough (The Celestial Toymaker himself), Paul Jerrico (the Castellan in The Five Doctors), and Colin Baker, who later became the Sixth Doctor. Arc of Infinity also offers the same wealth of informative extras featured on previous Doctor Who DVD releases. Chief among them is commentary by Davidson, Baker, Fielding, and Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), but there's plenty to enjoy in Anti-Matter from Amsterdam, a 35-minute making-of featurette that includes interviews with the principal cast and a look at the serial's on-location filming in Holland. A second featurette, The Omega Factor, looks at the continuing story of Omega in the Doctor Who universe, and there's a 13-minute look behind the scenes at the studio recording sessions for the serial. Three minutes of deleted scenes, a photo gallery, the standard text-only information track, PDFs from the 1983 Doctor Who Annual and Radio Times, and an interesting CGI Effects option, which allows viewers to enjoy eighteen scenes with the original special effects or with newer CGI elements, round out the extras. --Paul Gaita
