Doctor Who [Season 3] 

The problem with reconstructions: they require a lot more attention, otherwise you lose track of what's going on.

But they're also harder to pay attention to, because there's no motion, it's just telesnaps and sound

Mission to the Impossible.

I've never seen this one, and it's unique in that it doesn't include the Doctor or his companions at all

Doctor Who [Season 3], sexism 

Peter Purves, the actor for steven: I didn't like that my character was overpowered by Maaga, a woman. He's supposed to be a man.

me: hmmm.... that sounds like a pretty terrible thing to say, but maybe it makes sense in context

*watches the episode*

maaga: *is a highly trained military commander, overpowers steven because she has a gun and 3 guards*

me: :thaenkin:

That's a good point, but have you considered <sound of distant explosion>?

Doctor Who [Season 3], sexism 

The actor for Steven hated this story, because it had been originally written for the companions Ian and Barbara, and when it was rewritten for this season, Steven's lines were mostly barbara's.

He felt upset that his character had been "feminised".

Doctor Who [Season 3] 

[ Galaxy 4 ]
this one is interesting - basically all of the footage is gone entirely, unlike several of the other missing stories which have some footage, or at least telesnaps. The Loose Cannons team spent a lot of time and effort recreating a bunch of things and using visual effects to pull in footage of characters from different stories, in order to recreate it
