The Ultimate Adventure was a 1989 stage play written by Terrance Dicks and during its run it had Jon Pertwee reprised his role as the Third Doctor and when Pertwee fell ill his understudy David Banks (previously the Cyber Leader in the TV series) played the Doctor. Pertwee then resumed playing the Doctor before the play was taken over by Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor.
It was Baker’s performance on the stage play that I saw some time ago on Youtube starting here:

Quite a fun spectacular also involving companions not seen in the TV series, Jason Crystal and a small furry creature called Zog with traditional villains in the Daleks and Cybermen plus a Prime Minister that is a veiled depiction of then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

The Jon Pertwee version of The Ultimate Adventure is also available on Youtube starting here:

However as the uploader Mark Humphries explained he only uploaded it due to a great requests for it. He said that he initially didn't want to do it as the video wasn't completely clear at the beginning.

On my personal view, Humphries was right in his reluctance to upload the Pertwee Ultimate Adventure and I barely got the gist of what was going on.

The Ultimate Adventure - Restored:

A video of The Ultimate Adventure stage play with the Doctor, in this case, played by Colin Baker
As described by Josh Snares who posted this video who says that "this combines two fan recordings, along with a high quality audio recording to make a "watchable" version of the story. It's not incredible, but it's watchable!"
The Ultimate Adventure has the Doctor travelling with Jason and picking up Crystal and Zog along the way.
Not bad storyline involving Daleks, Cybermen and a mercenary by the name of Karl (played by David Banks who had played the Cyber Leader on television in the 1980s) and the quality of this video being barely tolerable whilst viewing it.
