This is a six-episode serial, but only its second episode is known to have survived to the present day.day.
** Episode 2 contains the only piece of missing ''audio'' in the series. At one point, the audio cuts out briefly before abruptly coming back in the middle of a line spoken by the Doctor. All known recordings contain this fault, so it is believed to have been an error with the original master tape. The VHS release edits out the offending line, and the DVD release contains a patchwork reconstruction using audio from other episodes.
