From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Cough, cough, Shada (webcast) vs. Shada (audio story).

Also, novelisations. Surely you wouldn't have us cover a novelisation on the TV story's page even if there were no discrepancies whatsoever between the two? Even with the occasional differences that tend to crop up, the fact remains that through novelisations, we are very accustomed to the possibility that basically the same narrative information can be sourced to two works with the same title.

What matters then is the production side of things, and from a production point of view, Mission to the Unknown the webcast is a very different beast from Mission to the Unknown the TV story, in much the same way that even the most slavish novelisation has its own writer, editor, publisher, release date, etc.
