Radio Free Skaro - The Chronic Hysteresis has...

• XX5 - The Seeds of Death 5, this story saw a greater use of out-of-sequence recording, which hadn't been attempted that often up to this point in the programme's production history.
• XX6 - The Seeds of Death 6, one of the reasons that The Seeds of Death was made was to try and recoup the cost of production of the Ice Warrior costumes that were made for their debut in the previous year's recording block.
• YY1 - The Space Pirates 1, I wrote earlier about how, in The Seeds of Death, it took over eight minutes for The Doctor to first appear in the story and how surely, at the time, that must have been a record.
• YY2 - The Space Pirates 2, it isn't really until the very end of this, the second episode, that The Doctor and his companions become even remotely involved in this story.
• YY3 - The Space Pirates 3, this story is the next in a run of classic Dudley Simpson scores.
• YY4 - The Space Pirates 4, "usually, before settling to watch each story on this marathon of mine, I try and flush all preconceived notions of how the story I'm about to view ranks with me, based on previous viewings, or more generally in the eyes of fandom."
