HOLY CRAP THAT'S WILLIAM RUSSEL AND I THINK HE'S SPEAKING IN-CHARACTER AS OLD!IAN. Yes, those bits are in the Lost in Time set, as that was not filmed for a fan-made recon like the old!Marco Polo clips but for the official VHS release of the surviving episodes - they made the same thing when they released The Invasion on VHS, with Nicholas Courtney filling in for the two yet-to-be-animated missing episodes with similar narration.
Not Richard III, but Richard I (but you can call him Scaroth since that's the same actor :P). The one you mean was the one with the hump and the limp - you'll find him in the Big Finish audio The Kingmaker.
WHEN DID THEY START PASSING VICKI OFF AS A PAGEBOY? When One stole the clothes from the market stall, if I remember correctly. That said, I think "Victor" looked more convincing than "Paul" in The Smugglers - but that's mostly because Vicki didn't wear the massive amounts of eyeliner and false lashes Polly did (well, and Polly's chest is even more noticeable than Vicki's).
Oh wow. Shows you just how hard I fail at history. I'll have to go back and fix that.
"Paul"... *snicker*
Barbara getting whipped? o__O Yikes. And Ian/Barbara is always approved of. I'm trying to remember when it was that I learned that they weren't technically canon...
Ben's the one who came up with the name "Paul". It tickles me to see so many people believing that Polly was a boy since she's the least convincing boy I've ever seen.
Yes, the whipping took me by surprise. And a character who survives in the serial gets brutally murdered in the novelization, if I recall it correctly.
I have the Troughton and Pertwee Years tapes, and wish they were released on DVD - or at least the linking bits by Jon Pertwee (it was Sylvester McCoy doing the linking in the the Hartnell Years, wasn't it?).
Old!Ian did get closing remarks. Don't know why the recon wouldn't include them, but they're on the Lost In Time DVD if you can find it. Prob on youtube or something too otherwise.
Same anon again and I tried to find it on youtube for you but couldn't.
Ages back I did transcribe Old!Ian's dialogue into a text document so I can give you the text of what he said, which is not as good as seeing and hearing it, but is better than nothing. Up to you though. Won't post now incase you'd rather wait and see the real thing. :)

But it's beyond all doubt that you have now seen more Hartnell than I.
