Yes, an animated reconstruction of a lost Doctor #2 story . . . it's hard not to think the BBC is scraping the bottom of the barrel for Classic Who. And on top of that, releasing this to cinemas, and then as a blu-ray steelbook. It all seems a little silly.I don't mind one or two lost episodes animated but a complete 6 part story with audio recordings of the original show, I'm not sure.
I've every BBC DVD release up to the end of Tom Bakers run so I'll probably add this at some stage. Might not be the steelbook version though.Yes, an animated reconstruction of a lost Doctor #2 story . . . it's hard not to think the BBC is scraping the bottom of the barrel for Classic Who.

However--this is a really stylin' steelbook, so I'm probably in.
By no means do I want a steelbook for each classic Who story, but what would be really nice is if they'd do a special run of one steelbook for each Doctor, maybe with a few of the best stories. Kind of like the Revisited series, but in steelbooks. I would love that.
I think the fact that the BBC have gone to the trouble of animating all 6 episodes tells me they know the originals are lost forever. Of course they have themselves to blame for that.Interesting release, I heard there will be a colour version for the Blu-ray release, wish episodes survived, still hope they find them some how.
It seems ridiculous that they're making a big deal about a colour version. It's animated--of course they can animate it in colour if they want to! They could make it 3D or VR if they really wanted to.Interesting release, I heard there will be a colour version for the Blu-ray release, wish episodes survived, still hope they find them some how.

100% taking the piss as far as I'm concerned. Saw it on it's original transmission and that's the only version I want to see again. But thanks to Terry Nation it won't happen!

The BBC between approximately 1967 and 1978, large quantities of videotape and film stored in the BBC's Engineering department and film libraries, respectively, were wiped or destroyed to make way for newer programmes.100% taking the piss as far as I'm concerned.
