So I just started watching "The Invasion" to find that the first episode was animated while the second is live action. Did they do this regularly in the earlier days?

Nope. But a lot of the Second Doctor episodes are lost (as are some of the First Doctor ones) - the BBC just binned the film, but kept a copy of the soundtrack.

In the case of The Invasion, they animated the missing episodes a year or two back so that they could release the full story on DVD.

Aaah, that makes more sense.

I'd quite like it if they completely animated a few of the better ones that appear to be lost for good (The Macra Terror seems to be one that was supposedly worth watching)- just so that they're out there in some form - but that seems like it's not going to happen in the near future.
