WILLIAM HARTNELL

When US stations demanded "more Doctor Who", the BBC raided its archives and repackaged the black and white episodes. From 1985, they sold the 17 serials that were complete. With the stories re-edited into compilations, brand new closing credits were created. It has been reported that The War Machines had the regeneration from Hartnell to Troughton edited on to the end, to lead into the first Troughton story that was sold as part of the same re-issue package.

Seventeen stories, 76 episodes:

A An Unearthly Child 4
B The Daleks 7
C Inside the Spaceship 2
E The Keys of Marinus 6
F The Aztecs 4
G The Sensorites 6
J Planet of Giants 3
K The Dalek Invasion of Earth 6
L The Rescue 2
M The Romans 4
N The Web Planet 6
Q The Space Museum 4
R The Chase 6
S The Time Meddler 4

XX The Seeds of Death 6
ZZ The War Games 10


JON PERTWEE (continued)

From 1985, the BBC reissued all the Pertwee stories, including those that existed only as black and white prints. This package also included the following four stories that not had been sold to the States before. Since episode three of Planet of the Daleks was in black and white, the BBC also provided a re-edited version that re-cut episodes two and four, making the story into a five-part serial. Invasion of the Dinosaurs was also re-edited; episode one was in black and white, so the opening titles were all re-captioned (e.g. Part Two was renumbered PART ONE), and the story was issued as a five parter.

Four stories, 20/21 episodes:

AAA Spearhead from Space 4
QQQ Frontier in Space 6
QQQ Planet of the Daleks 5/6
WWW Invasion of the Dinosaurs 5
