This is the first of the "lost" episodes of #DoctorWho - they were erased in the 70's. If you want to dig into that, watch this vid by @josh_snares: https://t.co/JkupNQMK5j pic.twitter.com/I5awUaImod

These are only avail as "reconstructions", where fans merged photos of the stories with the existing audio. They also have text you need to read for things you can't see. pic.twitter.com/pCIwzTrDHk

Plot: The crew land in China in 1289, and are taken in by Marco Polo's caravan, who is on the way to see Kublai Khan. Makes use of Barbara's history knowledge. Looks great! pic.twitter.com/c3BipsVxRh

Marco's warrior Tegana plots against Marco and the Tardis crew to capture the "magic box" and defeat Kublai Khan. Much of the plot is about Tegana sabotaging their water supply. pic.twitter.com/FxvkLZ9Gl4

#DoctorWhoMarathon Ep 17 - "The Wall of Lies" (4/7 - Serial D, Story 4) - 14 Mar 1964. #DoctorWho

Barbara is rescued, and Tegana continues trying to sow mistrust. It mostly works, as Marco Polo also plots to dispose of the crew as well. I really liked the pacing of this episode. pic.twitter.com/kfRUS21XxA

#DoctorWhoMarathon Ep 19 - "Mighty Kublai Khan" (6/7 - Serial D, Story 4) - 28 Mar 1964. #DoctorWho

The Tardis crew almost escape, but got stuck because Susan wasn't where she should be. Most of this ep is taken up by a search for Ping-Cho, and finding the now stolen Tardis. pic.twitter.com/pDwgxayf0a

#DoctorWhoMarathon Ep 20 - "Assassin at Peking" (7/7 - Serial D, Story 4) - 4 Apr 1964. #DoctorWho 1/2

The last episode had the Doctor and Kublai Khan go off seemingly as friends sharing ailments of old age. Then in this episode they're playing a friendly game of backgammon. pic.twitter.com/nWA8zMVQcb
