Transmitted today in 1993 (during the BBC 'Children In Need' telethon), the second part of 'Dimensions In Time'
Although it was a pitiful and laughable story, it was good that the beeb thought enough of the show to bring it back after four years in the wilderness and it was wonderful to catch up with so many different companions from yesteryear (altho some had badly aged). Alongside Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy were Sophie Aldred (Ace), Bonnie Langford (Mel Bush), Nicola Bryant (Peri Brown), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), John Leeson (Voice of K-9), Lalla Ward (Romana), Louise Jameson (Leela), Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith), Richard Franklin (Captain Mike Yates), Caroline John (Liz Shaw), Nicholas Courtney (Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart), Deborah Watling (Victoria Waterfield) and Carole Ann Ford (Susan Foreman).
Oh, there were some genuine salt-of-the-erf cock-er-nee types from 'EastEnders' as well!
Sadly, this was to be the final (official) appearance of Jon Pertwee as the Doctor (he died three years later) and also the last appearance of Caroline John as Liz Shaw on television (she died in 2012)
Never released on video or DVD (for obvious reasons), enjoy it now!
