UKTV is reviving its Doctor Who broadcasts with selected programmes it calls "The Who Files". The Edge of Destruction was the third story ever. K9 and Company was a 1981 pilot for a spinoff series that never occurred. Resistance Is Useless was a 1992 special giving highlights from the series, with particular emphasis on material from incomplete stories. The War Games was the final Patrick Troughton story, where much of the Doctor's past was first revealed.
