The Curse of Fenric - The Special Edition (home video)

The Curse of Fenric - The Special Edition was a new feature-length version of The Curse of Fenric. Unlike the original four part adventure the story was now in a movie format running to nearly 104 minutes with almost 12 minutes of new material, new CGI special effects, and a remixed soundtrack in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. It was released on Disc Two of the DVD release of The Curse of Fenric in 2003.

Before the opening titles for episode one there is a message saying "For Nicholas Mallett and John Nathan-Turner" who had passed away at the time of the release.

story notes

 * Sam and Joe Kent-Smith played Haemovores in episode 4 in the original story but their scenes were cut - for the special edition their scenes were edited back in.
 * When BBC Video released The Curse of Fenric in 1991 Nicholas Mallett and Mark Ayres compiled some notes on how to turn the story into a movie version - this eventually happened in 2003.
