We originally skipped this story, as we weren’t covering reconstructions (stories where episodes are missing and fans have put together still shots to go along with the audio), but eventually we changed our minds. So this episode was recorded as two episodes much later, and is being brought back in time...

Let's find out if it was worth it!

Corrections

Ron refers to the composer of the theme, Ron Granier, as the head of the BBC Radiophonic workshop, which is incorrect. He was contracted by them to compose the theme, but it's accurate that he felt Delia Derbyshire deserved credit and royalties for her work on it.
