Lost in Time was a three disc BBC DVD box set released in 2004 that compiled all eighteen "orphaned" episodes (episodes that made up half or less of a story) from the William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton eras that existed within the BBC archives at the time. The release of the set was prompted by the recovery of "Day of Armageddon", the previously missing second episode of The Daleks' Master Plan, in January 2004.

Notes[]

  • Several of the 8mm off-screen clips featured in this set are mislabelled; two clips stated to be from "Small Prophet, Quick Return" (The Myth Makers episode two) actually originate from "Death of a Spy" (episode three), and one clip stated to be from The Savages episode four actually originates from episode three.
  • Since Lost in Time was released, several previously missing 1960s Doctor Who episodes have been recovered: "Air Lock" from Galaxy 4 and The Underwater Menace episode two in December 2011; and The Enemy of the World episodes one, two, four, five and six (along with a second copy of the already existing episode three) and The Web of Fear episodes two, four, five and six (along with a second copy of the already existing episode one) in October 2013.
