BBC Choice celebrates dinosaurs by showing this late Jon Pertwee era story. Episode 1, titled 'Invasion', only survives in Black & White. Episode 3 is a special extended version that has never aired before. And the 10:30PM sports programme is not part of the Doctor Who story, no matter how much it insists that it is.
