Originally, Season 14's opening four-parter The Masque of Mandragora would also have been included to represent the Tom Baker era. However, the season was curtailed from six stories to five at short notice to avoid interfering with the BBC's scheduled Christmas programming.
A second season of repeats, titled Doctor Who and the Monsters, was broadcast on BBC One the following year.
