The Moonbase is set in 2070, when the tides and weather on Earth are controlled from a station on the Moon. When the TARDIS lands on the lunar surface, the Doctor, Polly, Ben and newly-joined Jamie discover the base has been over-run by a mystery plague epidemic. As men begin to go missing and Jamie succumbs to the virus, it's down to the Doctor to work out who is behind the attack.
Only episode 2 and 4 remain in their original form, episodes 1 and 3 have been reconstructed using off-air soundtrack recordings and animation. The BBC's Doctor Who website have released a clip from episode 3 which shows the Cybermen marching across the surface of the Moon in preparation for their attack on The Moonbase.
There's also a nice trailer for the DVD release...
The Moonbase is released on DVD on January 20th in the UK, and February 11th in the US.
