The six-part 1968 special Fury from the Deep starring the second Doctor Patrick Troughton was mostly lost due to the network's old practice of erasing videotapes. But thanks an audio recording surviving, the BBC was able to re-create the special with animation.

It's a Jamie/Victoria storyline. I will have to get this at some point. Too bad Deborah Watling didn't get to see these episodes restored. RIP, Ms. Watling!
