Doctor Who/Recap/S17/E06 Shada: Difference between revisions

Filming on ''Shada'' ("SHAH-duh"), which was interrupted by the 1979 BBC strike, was never completed. It remains the only story of Classic Who that has never aired. But [[Douglas Adams]] scripts aren't so common that they can be discarded so easily, and eventually ''four'' official versions saw the light of day: a 1992 filmed version cobbled together out of the existing bits, with linking narration provided by [[Tom Baker]]; a 2003 [[Big Finish]]-produced audio/web-animation [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/webcasts/shada/ version] with Eighth Doctor Paul McGann as the story's Doctor; a 2012 novelisation by Gareth Roberts, based on the final versions of the scripts; and at last a 2017 direct-to-video release of the original story with animation filling in the missing pieces and a bonus scene at the very end. Clips from this episode were also used in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/20th AS the Five Doctors|The Five Doctors]]".
