However, [[PBS]] affiliates in the [[United States]] (which are also received on cable television in [[Canada]]) broadcast it before the BBC, the first time America saw a ''Doctor Who'' story before the UK. This version was slightly truncated from the version shown two days later in the UK. This was the first "feature-length" regular part of ''Doctor Who'' produced. The special featured the return of [[Patrick Troughton]] and [[Jon Pertwee]] (with [[Tom Baker]] represented by footage from the unbroadcast [[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]''). [[Richard Hurndall]] made his first and only appearance as the [[First Doctor]]. Numerous companions from all eras of the series appeared.

These illustrated paperback books (published in the same format as [[Target Books]] novelisations) contained original short stories featuring the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan Jovanka]] that set up short quizzes related to the subject matter of the book. The first book in the series had been published in [[1982]].
