 The first episode of [[The Pirate Planet]] was billed as '''"A new science fiction series introducing Dr Who as he shuttled through time and space sorting out galactic problems and vanquishing monsters".
 Given that it says "introducing..." it is unlikely that any other stories aired before 14 February 1987 – and yet there are possibly two stories to be accounted for, if the 1987 memo is at all accurate.
