A 1973 instalment of ''Blue Peter'' marking the tenth anniversary of ''Doctor Who'' included many excerpts from the [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton]] eras; due to the BBC's then-ongoing practice of junking old episodes, these clips are in many cases the last surviving remnants of these episodes. These include such significant moments as the death of [[Katarina]] in ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' (which was aired on ''Blue Peter'' primarily because it featured then-co-host Peter Purves during his tenure as companion), and the [[regeneration]] of the [[First Doctor]] into the [[Second Doctor|Second]] from ''[[The Tenth Planet]]''. | A 1973 instalment of ''Blue Peter'' marking the tenth anniversary of ''Doctor Who'' included many excerpts from the [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton]] eras; due to the BBC's then-ongoing practice of junking old episodes, these clips are in many cases the last surviving remnants of these episodes.

These clips survived beyond their initial ''Blue Peter'' broadcast thanks to long-time showrunner [[Biddy Baxter]]'s staunch policy of archiving every episode of ''Blue Peter''. | These clips survived beyond their initial ''Blue Peter'' broadcast thanks to long-time showrunner [[Biddy Baxter]]'s staunch policy of archiving every episode of ''Blue Peter''. | ||
