Re-shooting the lost episodes...

[Christopher]

As far as I know, the earliest home soundtracks are from The Daleks. But there might have been overseas recordings (and they might be from repeats: the home movie off screen bits from season 3 definitely look as if they were shot during a repeat, so the cameraman knew which moments he wanted to get)

Overseas I could buy, but I thought repeats were extremely rare. When they reran "The Evil of the Daleks," it was so unprecedented that they actually set it up at the end of "The Wheel in Space" as a mind-recording the Doctor was showing to Zoe to warn her what she was getting into.

Yes, I meant overseas repeats. Most countries that bought 60s Who at all ran them two or three times. Evil and the first episode were the only UK repeats until 1971.
I have a vague theory that the Wheel-Evil link was aimed as much at the overseas market as the UK (due to Terry Nation, Evil wasn't sold overseas until after season five: initial sales ended season four with Faceless Ones and then picked up with Tomb) but that's only a theory.

Wiped noted that one of the recordists had recordings going back to An Unearthly Child. Whether it's the original broadcast or the repeat the following week is another question...

The UK Daily Mirror either just royally stepped in it (wouldn't be the first time), or...

Lost episodes of Doctor Who to be shown as cartoons half a century after they vanished

I'll believe it when a news source more trustworthy than The Mirror reports it. Hell, The Mirror only says "a company."

They could, however, start re-broadcasting the First/Second Doctor eras with both the existing and their animated missing episodes on a regular basis. That way, they could show the animated material and get some airtime for them. Can't it be done?

They seem to have confused some fan created animation with an official release.

 

[The Laughing Vulcan]

Having now seen bits of the re-imagined Are You Being Served and Porridge, I can comfortably say that this is the dumbest idea in a long line of dumb ideas.

Aside from a one-off event, I really can't see a BBC in 2016 dedicating time to broadcasting any pre-2005 Doctor Who, and certainly not a mishmash of live action and animated black and white Doctor Who.

The official Doctor Who Facebook page posted this image, suggesting news of this nature might be announced at midnight London time.

 

[diankra]

Official announcement is due at midnight, but it now seems definite - animated recreation of Power to be released for online download episodically daily from November 5th, with a DVD release on the 21st (UK).

IT'S HAPPENING!!!

Woo-hoo!

Here's another article on it...

I love this guy. How fun would it be to be that level of fan and have this particular talent?

For anyone with BBC America you won't even have to pay for it as they'll be showing it on the 12th of November.

Fantastic!

Will this be frame-for-frame exactly as the original was, or would certain scenes feature more Daleks than the original?

From the samples that leaked earlier, I noted that the group Dalek scenes animated the Daleks that were just cardboard cutouts in the original. I don't think there were any more Daleks than there were supposed to be in the scene, but they all moved.

How would anyone know?

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

How would anyone know?

Someone who saw the original broadcast might remember there being only a few Daleks in a given scene.

Like Christopher said, even if the numbers are the same, they all move this time.
