As only 3 Troughton ones left (highlanders, space and wheel). Male sense to do some of the hartnell ones first as already had 8 2nd Doc and only 1 1st Doc. With 33 episodes across 7 stories of hartnell to animate just the missing eps and only 13 across 3 if Troughton to animate just missing eps. (Not including smugglers or mission). All serials of season 20 were released individually on DVD between 1999 and 2011, with The Five Doctors being the first ever serial released on DVD.

Hart, however, did want some sort of anniversary special in November, so he suggested that JN-T put the money for two of the 28 episodes aside to allow for the special. This, of course, meant that there would now be 26 episodes in season 20. In the end, however, the final four episodes — meant to go towards a Dalek adventure that eventually became season 21's Resurrection of the Daleks — were left on the table because of a union dispute. Thus, as transmitted, season 20 consisted of just 22 episodes.

Well I agree on Ian Levine. I get the impression that he is not someone you would not want to know. We are all grateful for him saving episodes like The Daleks. So his place like Phil Morris in Doctor Who history is assured. As for Gary Russell, he is one of the good guys. I don’t agree with him on eighties Who and what happened, but I respect him. I remember in the early eighties getting his fanzine Shada, one of the better ones of the period and discovering he was the same guy who appeared in The Phoenix and the carpet and of course Famous Five. I believe that Gary along with the great RTD, is the same age as me . You could say we are the second generation of fans who were born the same year as the series , but were too young to remember the first episode. Unlike Levine. I really don’t care what they do with the animations as long as they make them. Of course you can still criticize them, Web of Fear episode three is truly awful. But the idea that Gary’s animations is somehow disrespectful to older fans is just silly and sad . The Complete Thirteenth Series (BBCBD0554) and The Abominable Snowmen (BBCBD0550) were also released as Steelbook editions.
