"Shada: The Lost Episode"

This 6-part serial was never completed and did not air on TV.

The surviving footage with newly-filmed material was released on VHS video in 1992.

A "flash animation" adaptation with a newly-recorded soundtrack (by Big Finish Productions, using different actors in several of the roles) was released on the BBC Online website in 2003.


Reconstruction

  • The story was officially reconstructed using full animation (as an omnibus rather than episodically) and released as a digital download and on DVD in 2017.
  • 19 July 2018: BBC America aired the omnibus restoration at 8pm. It was also given the title "Doctor Who: The Lost Episode" in some press coverage and online listings.
