VHS, DVD and CD Releases
In 1991, "The Wheel of Fortune", then the only episode known extant, was released on VHS as part of The Hartnell Years (BBCV 4608), presented by Seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, with McCoy giving a brief 're-cap' of events before and after the segment, with additional information concerning its 'lost' companions.
As part of The Crusade and The Space Museum VHS box set (BBCV 6805/6888) in 1999 a version of episodes 1 and 3, with the events of Episodes 2 and 4 related by William Russell in character as an aged Ian Chesterton, was released in a special presentation package. A compact disc of the other two episodes' soundtracks was also included. The 'scripted' passages, to fill the gaps between the missing episodes and the following storyline were written by Stephen Cole, with additional continuity snippets by Ian Levine. An audio-only version of this story, with narration again by Russell, was released as a two-CD set in 2005 in The Lost TV Episodes Collection One 1964/1965. The two extant episodes and the two soundtracks for The Crusade were again released as part of the Lost in Time DVD (BBCDVD 1353) collection of restored episodes and clips in 2004, with Russell's sections as an extra when "Play All" is selected on disc one.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
