Tbh I would not buy it if it featured Ian Levine's version. I totally would have because it was animated. I heard his animation was terrible. Besides, I loathe doing anything that would support Ian Levine in anyway. Mans an absolute joke.

I'd watch terrible animation of a 'lost' Doctor Who story like Shada over linking live-action scenes anyday. I just find the idea of Tom Baker as he is now recalling a past adventure odd.

Great story, basic animation, Big Finish produced audio; no further version needed!

Grrr...
I am so mad!
Big Finish had the opportunity to reference the K-9 theme song and they didn't!
K-9, K-9, Beep Deep Boop, K-9.

More like a strange mixture of MS Paint and telesnaps.

The animated webcast is on the Tom Baker Shada DVD (not sure if it's on the special edition or standard) and I think you can still watch it on one of the BBC websites, from what I remember the audio isn't that different to the webcast, beyond some reworked dialogue. I was put off the Tom Baker Shada DVD because they didn't go for the Ian Levine animation, and really the animated Paul McGann webcast should have been the main feature instead of the Tom Baker linking material version. Might just stick with the audio version since there's an animated version coming soon anyway. I heard his animation was terrible.

It just goes to show it's better for oneself and all to know what you're talking about in the company of those that already do. Saves a lot of awkwardness.

Very pleased to get The Well-Mannered War to almost complete my Novel Adaptations collection and all bought in sales, thanks very much BF! This put me in such a good mood that I finally did it - I completed the 4DAs series 4 with The Fate of Krelos and Return to Telos...

I really thought there'd be more to the animation. It was just so static. Why weren't the mouths moving? It was done in the same fashion as Death Comes To Time and Real Time both in Flash Animation, a popular animation program during 1999/early 2000s. I'm surprised you're only discovering about this now as you seem to talk as though you know a lot about it.

I'm saying it helps to have watched the thing if you're going to talk about it as though you have actually watched it. I feel like I'm in that BBC Three conversation with you again.
I'm sorry, but I do not agree with your opinion that the Paul McGann version should take preference over Tom Baker's definitive version and his links to camera.

Personally, I liked both versions. And it was nice watching/listening to both in juxtaposition on the DVD. I enjoyed the similarities and differences of the two versions.

And there is space for both of them to have happened. The Fourth Doctor Shada occurred as expected until the events of The Five Doctors, whereafter it was erased from existence due to external meddling. After his regeneration, the Eighth Doctor's muddled memory brought up St. Cedd's and he returned to Gallifrey to pick up Romana and fulfil the role previously filled by his predecessor. The Doctor in the links who refers to it as a "lost story" could be the Curator from Day. I had a similar idea for the bookends to The Crusade, the older Ian Chesterton chatting to whomever may be listening about his adventure in Palestine.

I picked up The Exxilons, Requiem for the Rocket Men, Death Match, The Fate of Krelos and Return to Telos from the Fourth Doctor Adventures (happy because I had nothing from series four previously) and the three novel adaptations (which completes the series for me). Looks like a bit of a Tom Baker marathon next week...
