Easter Eggs:
- Main Menu:
- Doctor Who logo: Clicking on this gives the complete opening titles sequence
for the Patrick Troughton era. Returns to the main menu at the end of the
scene.
- Circle around Patrick (just to the right of the logo): Clicking this zooms
to a scene where Victoria is on watch duty and the Doctor wakes up to take
over for her. Returns to the main menu at the end of the scene.
- Cybermen heads (other boxes to the right of the logo): Appear only to
restart the video taking place during the main menu sequence. These are only
"red herrings" and not actual easter eggs.
- Audio Options Menu:
- Doctor Who logo: Clicking on this gives the audio trailer for the
"Abominable Snowmen" episode, of which, to my knowledge, no actual film/video
footage remains.
Note: While the BBC's Doctor Who Website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ reports that some people
who have received this disc notice the audio going a bit out of sync during the
first of the four episodes, I did not personally witness this.
