Doctor Who star Tom Baker has returned to complete an unfinished story 36 years after it was abandoned.

 

Shada, which was filmed in Cambridge, was created in 1979 for the end of the show's 17th series.

 

But strike action at the BBC meant studio scenes were never completed and the episodes were abandoned.

 

It will be released on BBC Worldwide with the original footage combined with new colour animations and voiceovers to complete the story...

 

...Shada will be released as a digital download on 24 November and on DVD and Bluray on 4 December.

...The new Shada is a mix of original footage and state-of-the-art animation voiced by the original cast (including Baker), but an exception was made for the final scene which sees a real-life Baker emerge from under his Tardis console as he is today, in footage shot earlier this year at BBC Television Centre...
