Further notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

This was the third of a series of videos produced by John Nathan-Turner intended to release rare episodes and incomplete serials, as well as interviews and other extras that wouldn't have seen a video release at the time.
The arrangement of the Doctor Who theme used for this and succeeding "Years" releases was originally arranged by Keff McCulloch for the 1989 album Doctor Who - Variations on a Theme.
The video was classified "PG" in Australia. It was released in 1992 in America (CBS/FOX Video) and on 20/10/1992 in Australia (Polygram).
The link for Inferno episode seven was included as an extra on both DVD releases of the story. The introductions to Frontier in Space episode six and The Daemons episode five were later included on their respective The Collection Blu-Ray releases.
Some of the Blue Peter footage was later released on the The Three Doctors DVD release.
