I actually saw a copy that a friend of mine obtained (The Daemons in color,
that is).  Unfortunately, after we viewed it, he decided that he needed the
tape for something else and erased it!  This was ~ 5 years ago.

On the topic of why Douglas Adams hasn't done (or allowed) any novelisations,
he told me (when I saw him at Oberlin College ~1 year ago) that he was not
particularly proud of his DW episodes, since they were often done on a
timeline, so he doesn't want to publish novelisations of them.  He is
apparently very happy to let Shada slip into the world of forgotten
episodes...
