There's also an exclusive clip from The Faceless Ones.

This and "The Highlanders" are the only fully-missing Troughton serials remaining, and I guess they assume there's less interest in pure historicals.
Though at this point, what I'd kind of love for them to do is a "Marco Polo" remake starring David Bradley and the Adventure In Time and Space cast and filmed on location in China.
The animation team have said that all the complex tartan costumes in The Highlanders would make it a complex, expensive, budgetary-prohibitive animation.
The SF stories tend to have a lot of consistent outfits/uniforms.
Did anyone else catch the Delgado Wanted poster in the back?
I wonder if, like Enemy of the World, I'll go from not liking the serial solely based on a fan reconstruction to enjoying/loving it.
Interesting... fan opinion usually counts Fury as one of the lost greats. Like Tomb before it was found.
Yeah, I've heard that before, which makes me think I watched a really poor reconstruction. I know there were a handful of them that were really bad (audio, telesnaps, etc.) and definitely marred the experience for me. Plus, it was more than a decade ago when I watched them.
Confusion: i thought this was already announced earlier this year? Am I missing something?
Other than the first appearance of the Sonic screwdriver, why would they choose this serial over The Highlanders?
See post #83 above.
No, it was on the shortlist of stories to animate. Expected. But, this is the first official announcement.
Some-one mentioned up thread that animating all the kilts etc wouldn't be economically viable for the release.
It's also the last appearance of Victoria.
I would love if they did Highlanders though. And more than that, I'd love if we got two animations annually.
So its possible we'll be getting the rest of Troughton's run in animation? Cause that'd be great, as I would love to one day view all his stories in marathon-like way. One day..
I don't get why they're animating episodes 1 & 3 when they exist in live-action form. Why not just animate the missing ones? Is it that important to do it in color?
