I got it off the binaries group not too long ago, I'm sure someone could
post it easily.
It wasn't in real 3D, it was in an experimental thing where you wore glasses
that made the brain lag in it's picture retention and so when the camera
rotated to the left it appeared to be in 3D....
the episode was short and purely a way to get lots of doctors in one place,
it wasn't nearly as structured as a 5 doctors type episode with some force
putting all the companions and doctors together in one place. instead you'd
have McCoy and Ace walking through Albert Square and suddenly a flash would
turn them into Davidson and Peri or Baker and Sarah-Jane or something, K9
even randomly appeared at some point too. the major critisism was pairing
up the wrong doctors with companions. McCoy was paired with Leela at one
point while Susan was with Jon Pertwee (IIRC)
Worth watching for Pertwees last appearence as the Doctor and Tom Baker's
only appearence (to date) since he left the show in 81. I think it's
avaliable on dvd but there are versions floating around online.
I believe the Rani and the Master appeared at some point too with The Rani
being ultimatly responsible.
they did another Dr Who special not long after with other actors being The
Doctor and the Doctor being killed several times, Rowan Atkinson, Jim
Broadbent, Hugh and richard E Grant and Joanna Lumley.
