5.0 out of 5 stars A rare gem, February 11, 2009

By	MSC (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Considering that we will probably never get to see the actual episodes, this is as good as it gets. It's almost like listening to old radio plays. The narrative added to complete the "missing" bits helps to visualize what we cannot see.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Historic Doctor Who, March 9, 2008

By	James W. Milstead (Dunbar, WV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The William Hartnel era is my least favorite of Doctor Who, but they did good work on these stories for the time in which they were made. William Hartnel is my least favorite Doctor. The sound quality on part of this CD is not that good because the master recording was old and not in very good shape. This is as close as you will ever get to seeing the original story. The In the Beginning DVD has a 40 minute montage of still photos taken from the show with some of the audio to give you an idea of what it looked like. This is the oldest missing episode of Doctor Who.
