oddsheep writes "The BBC have announced they will be showing a new version of an episode originally written by Douglas Adams and that was never shown after industrial action halted the original production in 1979." "Shada" will star Paul McGann as the Doctor.
Following several false starts in attempting to bring it back, the drama will finally be premièred in a webcast on BBCi in the spring.
Not broadcast on one of the BBC's many channels (BBC Three would be good, kick people into getting Digital TV), but instead in dubious quality on the web?

With Tom Baker (the actor who played Dr Who in the episode) narrating the parts that were left out because they weren't produced.
