A great bit of news for the completion of an old serial. Shada was partially completed but abandoned due to a BBC strike at the time. It was the 70s, it was the fashion.
Though an odd one too, Douglas Adams of Hitchhikers fame was apparently never pleased with this script and happy to let the story languish in obscurity but there have been multiple attempts to reconstruct it over the years as fans have chased the 4th Doctor story that got away.

They released it on tape in the 90's with reconstructed scenes (by using pictures and readings). It's not really anything abnormal for the period for story, a lesser Douglas Adams work.
We must dissent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwqN3Ur ... l=matsku84

There was also the audio drama with Paul McGann's 8th Doctor in place of Baker.
It's not a super story. But I enjoy any and all Time Lord lore, especially anything with other Time Lord characters and TARDISes, as the new series has been rather bereft of that.
Also, anything with Tom Baker's deep and silky smooth voice can only be a plus.
