As mentioned, several of the Troughton-era serials on sale now feature animated reconstructions of episodes that were deleted by the BBC back in the 1960s.

While these animated reconstructions have been possible for some serials where multiple live-action scenes survive, producer Charles Norton has recently explained why it might not be possible to restore all of the missing serials.

"In the '60s, particularly the Hartnell era, they used to do historical epics and they were great because the BBC had the resources to do that... you'd have hordes of extras and ornate costumes from the massive BBC costume store... When you've actually got to draw it, particularly on a budget, and you've maybe only got a year to do it, it does get a little bit tricky," he explained in 2019.

Doctor Who airs on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US. Series 13 is due to premiere later this year.
