The Missing Years was a documentary containing footage from missing episodes from William Hartnell's and Patrick Troughton's time as the Doctor. Presented by Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling, it was released on home video by BBC Video in 1998 and contained footage from several episodes, including:

• The Daleks
• Galaxy 4
• The Daleks' Master Plan
• The Smugglers
• The Tenth Planet
• The Power of the Daleks
• The Highlanders
• The Underwater Menace
• The Macra Terror
• The Faceless Ones
• The Evil of the Daleks
• The Tomb of the Cybermen
• Fury from the Deep
• The Wheel in Space

It had a running time of approximately 33 minutes.

In 2004 it was included in the BBC Video DVD box set Lost in Time. After the initial programme, an addendum produced in 2004 chronicled the discovery of two additional episodes since the original production of the documentary. The DVD packaging for Lost in Time gave a run time of 50 minutes for the documentary, when in fact its total running time was only about 37 minutes, including the addendum. This was also featured on the special edition DVD release of The Web of Fear.
