The short clips are from a 15-minute reel of 8mm film shot from a TV screen by a fan. The first five were released as part of the 1998 Missing Years VHS documentary, then all on the 2004 Lost in Time DVD as a 3:21 compilation of footage with the other 8mm clips from the Troughton era. The longer clip is from a trailer for the episode discovered by Andrew Martin in October 2003 at the end of Beyond the Freeze – What Then? 4/11/66, and was also included on the Lost in Time DVD. All the clips appeared as part of a 7:44 compilation on the Power of the Daleks Blu-Ray in 2016 and as a 7:18 compilation on the Power of the Daleks SE Blu-Ray in 2020 (for the latter, significant digital work was carried out to improve the quality of the 8mm footage).

The clip of two Daleks was discovered in August 1995, as part of Perspective: C for Computer 29/5/74. The conveyor belt sequence was held as part of Tomorrow’s World 28/12/66, it was discovered in Sep 2005 when reused in Sunday Past Times 11/9/05 (a shorter, higher quality, version was discovered as part of the same Perspective program as above). The Daleks assembling was similarly from Tomorrow’s World and discovered in 2005. The two Daleks, and the short conveyor belt sequence, appeared as part of the 1998 Missing Years VHS and the 2004 Lost in Time DVD. All the clips appeared as part of a 7:44 compilation on the Power of the Daleks Blu-Ray in 2016 and as a 7:18 compilation on the Power of the Daleks SE Blu-Ray in 2020.
The fragments were discovered in 2019 in an auction of material held by the late Derek Dodd. These are generally around half a second each, and appeared as part of the 7:18 compilation on the Power of the Daleks SE Blu-Ray in 2020, slowed and looped to make them more watchable.

A copy is also held as part of Blue Peter 27/11/67 which is slightly longer but contains a caption, and a shorter version on the Perspective reel. All clips were used on the 1998 Missing Years VHS, the 2004 Lost in Time DVD (with the first clip accentally attributed to Episode Four, and the wrong audio over the second), and as part of a 7:44 compilation on the Power of the Daleks Blu-Ray in 2016 and as a 7:18 compilation on the Power of the Daleks SE Blu-Ray in 2020 (with the extended version of the third clip containing a Blue Peter caption). The Daleks conquer and destroy clip also appeared on the 1992 VHS Daleks: The Early Years.

The Daleks exploding held as part of Tom Tom 26/11/68, discovered during research for Thirty Years in the TARDIS in 1993. Appeared on the 1998 VHS Missing Years, the 2014 Lost in Time DVD, and in the two compilations mentioned above.

The footage was also used to build a fake recreation for The Missing Years documentary, also released separately as part of the Tomb of the Cybermen DVD running to 1:20. An actual film trim also exists, although has never been officially released and might not contain material used in the finished episode.
During season five, many of the cliffhanger resolutions were neither re-uses nor re-enactments, they simply continued the action from the previous week. Therefore the ‘clips’ within this season are far more minimal.
