In the series' second season (1964-65), William Hartnell starred in a four-part historical
adventure known as The Crusade.  In the purges of the BBC film archives in the 1970s,
all of the episodes of this serial, except the third, were destroyed.
Then, in the summer of 1998, a Doctor Who fan club in New Zealand heard rumors of the
possible existence of a film copy of one of the missing episodes of this serial.  After some
investigating and pleading, the owner was persuaded to loan a 16 mm film print of the
first episode to the BBC for restoration and duplication, and in January 1999, the first
episode of The Crusade rejoined the third in the BBC Archives.

This new special video release contains all of the following:

One videotape containing:
Both of the surviving episodes from The Crusade (numbers 1 and 3 out of 4) and all four
episodes of the subsequent serial,  The Space Museum. The Crusade is introduced by
William Russell, back in character as Ian Chesterton, who also explains the important events
of the still-missing episodes 2 and 4 at the appropriate points.  The film prints have all been
restored as best as possible.

One CD containing:
Digitally remastered soundtrack recordings of the two missing Crusade episodes
(numbers 2 and 4) that were recorded off-air at the time of the original UK broadcast
by fan David Holman using a reel-to-reel tape recorder.  The CD is contained in a
booklet that gives some background on the story and describes the restoration process
on the episodes.

Four postcards
Three of these depict scenes from The Crusade and one depicts a scene from
The Space Museum.

This all comes in special clamshell packaging (a plastic case). The CD is to be found
inserted between the artwork sleeve and the outside of the plastic case.  The postcards
are inside the case.
The suggested retail price is $34.98.

(This video release in the UK included all of the above as well as a Doctor Who
key chain, which CBS/Fox did not include in their release due to packaging differences.)

For more information on how the first episode of The Crusade was rediscovered
and how the episodes have been restored, please visit Steve Roberts' BBC Restoration
Team home page at http://www.restoration-team.co.uk and click on The Lion (this is the
on-screen title of the first Crusade episode).

Note: the third episode of The Crusade has previously been released on video on the
Special video The Hartnell Years.  The copy used there was not given film cleaning
and restoration treatments.
