However, unlike ''The Five Faces of Doctor Who'', ''Doctor Who and the Monsters'' featured stories only from the respective eras of [[Jon Pertwee]], [[Tom Baker]] and [[Peter Davison]], with nothing shown from those of [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton]]. These were not broadcast in their original form from Mondays to Thursdays on [[BBC Two]], but once a week — on Mondays — as 50' compiled episodes on [[BBC One]]. | However, unlike ''The Five Faces of Doctor Who'', ''Doctor Who and the Monsters'' featured stories only from the respective eras of [[Jon Pertwee]], [[Tom Baker]] and [[Peter Davison]], with nothing shown from those of [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton]].

The four-part stories ''The Curse of Peladon'' and ''Earthshock'' were each re-edited and broadcast as 2 x 50 minute compiled episodes. The six-part ''Genesis of the Daleks'' was originally planned to be broadcast as 3 x 50 minute compiled episodes, but this proposed repeat had to be re-adjusted when one of the transmission slots was given over to a reshowing of the NBC science-fiction adventure series ''Star Trek'' (1966-69)<ref | The four-part stories ''The Curse of Peladon'' and ''Earthshock'' were each re-edited and broadcast as 2 x 50 minute compiled episodes.

The story was thus re-edited extensively from the existing 625 line PAL colour videotapes in order to fit the required 2 x 50 minute slots and — at the same time — ensure that it made sense to viewers. | ||
