Doctor Who

Fury from the Deep - S5-E6

Trivia: This serial was the first to feature the Doctor's favourite gadget, the sonic screwdriver. The sonic screwdriver has popped up in Doctor Who stories many times since, all the way into the new series. Sadly, it cannot be seen in "Fury from the Deep" as every episode of that story was destroyed by the BBC in 1977.

The Web of Fear - S5-E5

Trivia: Only episode one of this six part Doctor Who story survives, but it has been digitally restored by the BBC to 'broadcast quality'. Indeed, it WAS broadcast on the BBC's digital channel BBC4 as recently as June 26, 2004, as part of that channel's Sixties Season.

The Enemy of the World - S5-E4

Trivia: This serial was believed lost until 2013, when all of the episodes were discovered and returned to the BBC. It was subsequently restored and released on DVD.

The Three Doctors - S10-E1

Revealing mistake: (Part 4) After Omega takes off his mask and looks in the mirror, when he sees that his physical body doesn't exist he puts his mask back on and screams, but when he shouts, "If I exist only by my will, then my will is to destroy," Omega's mask pops up off his face, and we can see the actor's blackened face as he shouts the last bit of his dialogue. (00:07:10)

Terror of the Zygons - S13-E1

The Doctor: You can't rule the world in hiding. You've got to come out on the balcony sometimes and wave a tentacle, if you pardon the expression.

More quotes from Doctor Who

Answer: TARDISes are generally available for properly authorised use on Gallifrey; they're not usually assigned to a particular Timelord on a long-term basis. The Doctor stole his when he left his homeworld.
