The Lost in Time CollectionBookmark and Share

Wednesday, 14 July 2004 - Reported by Shaun Lyon
Though BBC Worldwide for some reason won't officially confirm any sort of UK release for the forthcoming Lost in Time Collection, the collection of orphan Doctor Who episodes coming out this November (despite the fact that retailers already have an early November date for sale), BBC Worldwide America not only has confirmed it but has released cover illustrations for the North American release, also due in November, and details about the individual sets. Below are the cover illustrations for the complete North American edition, which is two DVD sets packaged together, as well as the individual versions on sale here, one with each Doctor. (We don't know if they're being offered separately in the UK, but apparently the North American edition is done so.)
Lost in Time: The William Hartnell Years
Never broadcast in the US, these episodes offer an enticing glimpse into 'lost' stories that have achieved legendary status. Fans can relish rare appearances of the Daleks as well as guest star turns by Julian Glover (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade), Michael Gough (Batman) and Jean Marsh (Upstairs, Downstairs). New to video is Episode 2 of "The Daleks' Master Plan," the story that marked the series debut of Nicholas Courtney, who later returned time and again as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. Includes episodes 1 and 3 of "The Crusade"; episodes 2, 5 and 10 of "The Daleks' Master Plan" and episode 4 of "The Celestial Toymaker". Featuring audio commentary by actors Julian Glover, Peter Purves, Kevin Stoney, designer Raymond P. Cusick and moderator Gary Russell; clips from episodes 1, 3 and 4 of "The Daleks' Master Plan"; a reel of 8mm off-screen clips; Who's Who actor biographies; narrative links; and photo gallery. Single CD; WHV Catalog #E2081.

Lost in Time: The Patrick Troughton Years
