This production was initially aired (in the U.K. on the BBC and in the U.S. on PBS stations) in a one-hour form called simply "Thirty Years In The Tardis" in 1993. Bits and pieces from various archival sources (including everything between Parts One and Two and between Parts Two and Three, which in the original PBS showings were pledge drive breaks) were carefully edited in to bring it to its video edition running time.
