kindkit: A late-Victorian futuristic zeppelin. (Doctor Who: thoughtful Second Doctor)
I just finished watching the reconstruction of the Second Doctor story "The Enemy of the World." My non-spoilery review is that it's fab, with good performances all around (especially Patrick Troughton in a double role) and a complex script by David Whitaker that by Classic Who standards is remarkably tightly-plotted. There are also some truly creepy moments courtesy of a minor character who's best summarized by what Jamie says of him: "You must have been a nasty little boy." Even if you don't like reconstructions, give this one a try. This and "The Macra Terror" are the reconstructions I'd call indispensable for Second Doctor fans.
