Doctor Who Video Reconstructions: A Checklist

by Z1R0
25 January 2000
Revised 17 April 2012


     Below is a checklist of Doctor Who video reconstructions.  As I
began to collect reconstructions, I discovered that there were many
different versions of each serial by different project groups, and
that within each group, each reconstruction was subject to constant
enhancement.  I very quickly became confused about what versions I
was acquiring from various dubbers.  I have tried to create a
comprehensive list, to the best of my ability, though you'll note that
I am still a long way from being able to specify all of the differences
between version enhancements within a group.  I'd like to thank Robert
Franks of the venerable Missing Doctor Who Reconstructions & Audios
website and Rick Brindell of the Loose Canon Productions website
for their invaluable assistance in getting as far as I have with this
humble listing.  If you find it of value, check back on a regular basis
as I will be continuously updating it as new video reconstructions
become available, as titles are added to my collection, and as any new
information comes to light.
