Hidden within the extensive history of Doctor Who lie unfinished episodes filmed in Cambridge. In 1979, production teams ventured to the university city to shoot the storyline 'Shada', penned by author Douglas Adams, with Tom Baker starring as the Doctor.
Filming was not without its difficulties. Accounts from a BBC Sounds documentary reveal that Tom Baker struggled with learning to punt on the River Cam, frequently falling in. A porter at Clare College, whose father worked there, recalled providing blankets and brandy to the visibly unhappy actor.
