Did I miss this getting mentioned in this thread already?

I don't suppose it hurts to mention it again if it did, looks like a fun weekend...now I just need to get rid of the GF somehow

I can't believe they've managed to find the original pilot, that's going to be a treat to watch...

Nothing from the Troughton era?

Well that's my entire weekend sorted. And there's a handy break on Sunday from 1.15pm to 3pm when there's nothing on so I can take the dog for a walk.

Ollie, iirc there isn't a single, complete, Troughton story in existence anymore due to the Beeb's tape wiping antics. There are lots of audio tracks that folk are trying to recreate episodes from with animation, tho, I believe.

There are a few still intact. A couple have been released on DVD. It's not like they had nothing to show or indeed even needed full stories. UKGold are only showing two episodes of The Chase and all of those exist.

I'm sure they showed The Krotons in full a while back.

Yup, The Krotons still exists, but in total there are only six complete Troughton stories remaining, listed here:

Bit of a trivia question - prior to Catherine Tate and John Barrowman, has the Doctor ever had a companion who was older than him? (Meaning, obviously, actors' rather than characters' ages.) I don't think he has, unless you count Nicholas Courtney with Tom Baker's Doctor.
