The irony that the most "missing" Doctor Who story is also the most accounted for is not lost on fans. This earlier version of the production gives Paul McGann another shot at the role in a (vaguely) visual medium. The animation has slightly improved again since Real Time though it is still essentially a radio play with accompanying images.

Shada suits McGann, it is fun hearing him star alongside an older president Romana and trusty old K-9. Garry Russell's adaptation makes some slight improvements to the script but on the most part it suffers from the issues I raise above. This should have been a 4 part story, there is not enough plot to go round.
