Produced to mark the 40th anniversary of the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' franchise, '''''Shada''''' was a remounting of [[Shada (TV story)|the television story of the same name]], which was originally planned to end [[Season 17 (Doctor Who 1963)|Season 17]] in [[1980]], but abandoned before completion due to industrial action at the BBC. When the original episode was completed in 2017 and released on Blu-Ray, the webcast, which was included in the boxset as a special feature, was re-titled '''''The Return to Shada''''' and referred to as a sequel.
 
While the original version featured [[Tom Baker]]'s [[Fourth Doctor]], the webcast was rewritten to feature [[Paul McGann]]'s [[Eighth Doctor]], with [[Lalla Ward]] and [[John Leeson]] returning to voice [[Romana II]] and [[K9 Mark II]] respectively, with their own characters modified to coincide with the continuity established in the [[Big Finish Productions]] audio drama range.

* [[Gary Russell]] effected alterations to accommodate the new format and style.

This would suggest that due to the events of [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', the Fourth Doctor and Romana were left with partial amnesia and the adventure was prevented from concluding the first time around. Romana says she remembers being in stasis for a time, while K9 states that the Doctor and Romana had left him alone for approximately two hours before returning and abruptly changing destination to [[Brighton]], suggesting that [[TV]]: ''[[The Leisure Hive (TV story)|The Leisure Hive]]'' takes place immediately after the aborted events of the original ''Shada'' and the Doctor and Romana's abduction in ''The Five Doctors''.

You may wish to consult Shada (disambiguation) for other, similarly-named pages.

Produced to mark the 40th anniversary of the Doctor Who franchise, Shada was a remounting of the television story of the same name, which was originally planned to end Season 17 in 1980, but abandoned before completion due to industrial action at the BBC. When the original episode was completed in 2017 and released on Blu-Ray, the webcast, which was included in the boxset as a special feature, was re-titled The Return to Shada and referred to as a sequel.

While the original version featured Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor, the webcast was rewritten to feature Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor, with Lalla Ward and John Leeson returning to voice Romana II and K9 Mark II respectively, with their own characters modified to coincide with the continuity established in the Big Finish Productions audio drama range.
