Additonal details

 * It is not just the original televised stories that are missing from the archives. There are also a number of telesnaps missing. Many of these were in the private hands of people involved in the making of the show as a record of their work. The final discovery to date of telesnaps was in October 2003 which led to the recovery of six of the seven episodes of Marco Polo from director Waris Hussein.
 * Telesnaps exist for all Second Doctor episodes up to and including The Mind Robber Episode 3, except for The Enemy of the World Episode 4 and The Dominators Episode 5.
 * The Underwater Menace was returned to the BBC Archives in 2011 and has a planned DVD release for 2014.
 * The incomplete adventure The Moonbase has a planned DVD release for October 2013 with Episodes 1 and 3 being animated.
 * There is no publisher's summary on the back cover which is instead given over to a full colour subscription offer for Doctor Who Magazine.
 * This magazine and had a cover price of £5.99 (UK) / $11.99 (US)
