So yanno how BBC Video used to release incomplete serials with linking narration to cover the lost episodes? Sometimes, that used an actor who wasn't in character providing the narration, as with [[Tom Baker]] on ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]''. But ''[[The Crusade]]'' release has [[William Russell]] ''fully'' in character as [[Ian Chesterton]]. They even give him a lower third which reads, "Ian Chesterton". So is that a valid image of Ian? And if so, doesn't it counter the ''[[Death of the Doctor]]'' notion that Ian never aged? And to the extent that there are other in-character linking narrations, do we take them seriously? {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''21:43:52 Thu '''18 Aug 2011 </span> | So yanno how BBC Video used to release incomplete serials with linking narration to cover the lost episodes?

- It's something outside of the original broadcast.
- Should we include/count the linking narration done for the missing soundtracks?
- I don't think it does count as it's deliberately framed as narration, I'd add a however this though, if a story comes along and (somehow) manages to frame it into a story then maybe it could be counted. But as it stands there doesn't seem to be enough information for this to be a valid image. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:29, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
