Story notes

• Previously other edited versions of The Five Doctors have been released such as a four part version and an cut down version with two minutes missing of original material.
• When the Fourth Doctor was returned to his proper place in space and time, a different clip from Shada was used, this time to suggest that the events of the televised story could indeed have occurred.
