Yes, here they showed it during a pledge drive, but still in the middle of the Davison episodes. They showed it along with Resurrection of the Daleks, and before Planet of Fire and Caves of Androzani (Caves was the last they showed, then they began from Dr. Who #1 with the Hartnell episodes) The order was further mixed because of marathon showings (6 or 7 hours of dr. who in one day) the weekend or so before. In my trusty Dr. Who Program Guide it says that the Five Doctors was filmed before even Warriors of the Deep or The Awakening... hmm, but it would still be packaged separately, I suppose. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I had two cents to spare, so I threw it in...
