DVD, Book Update from BBC Shop

The BBC Shop has posted details of two items already confirmed for delivery but updating a little information. They've confirmed Revelation of the Daleks as the July DVD, with a release date of July 11 and a release code of BBCDVD1357, along with a brief blurb: "The Doctor and Peri arrive on Necros to attend the funeral of an old friend of the Doctor who has recently died. However, Tranquil Repose is not all it seems and an attempt is made on the Doctor's life. Soon the Doctor comes face to face with the Great Healer, only to discover it is none other than Davros, the creator of the Daleks, intent on rebuilding the Dalek race decimated by the Movellans. DVD Extras: 5.1 Surround Sound Mix; Audio Commentary featuring Graeme Harper, Eric Saward, Nicola Bryant and Terry Molloy; Isolated Music Score; CGI Effects; Revelation Exhumed Documentary; In Studio Featurette; Deleted Scenes; Continuity; Photo Gallery; Production Notes; Easter Egg."

Also, a new blurb for Gary Russell's novel Spiral Scratch, due out from BBC Books in August 2005, is as follows: "Carsus: the largest repository of knowledge in the universe - in any universe, for there is an infinite number of potential universes - or rather, there should be. So why are there now just 117,863? And why, every so often, does another one just wink out of existence? The Doctor and Mel arrive on Carsus to see the Doctor's old friend Professor Rummas - but he has been murdered. Can they solve the mystery of a contracting multiverse, and expose the murderer? With the ties that bind the Lamprey family to the past, present and future coming unravelled around him, only the Doctor can stop the descent into temporal chaos. But he is lost on Janus 8. And Schyllus. And a twentieth-century Earth where Rome never fell. And..." Note that this is a different blurb altogether from the one we've previously featured from Amazon.
