Undated stories and episodes

Out of Time

  1. The "Sixty Second Time" AKA "Minute By Minute" as well as "The Groundhog Minute" This was a special one hour and two minute episode.
  2. Time And Time Again. (actually The "Sixty Second Time" with the scenes in different order). The producers claim the revision was to try and make "more" sense of all 62 individual minutes, stating the editor got confused by the many short bits. Many fans believe it was a poor attempt to satisfy a contractual obligation. This was a less than special one hour and two minute episode.
  1. Doctor Who stole the title and butchered the plot.
