Many of the 1st and 2nd Doctor episodes no longer exist in video format, although all are available in audio format.

First Doctor

There is some dispute as to what a number of the serials up to "The Gunfighters" should be called, as these stories had individual episode titles rather than an on-screen full title. Many of the titles have been gleaned from surviving BBC paperwork, but for the very early stories, you may see alternative names being used.
