:yesway: :yesway: :yesway: :yesway:
-
YES! hopefully they'll find the rest of troughton's seasons.Then my conquest will be complete. (J.E.Jones Vader voice)Cheers
-
With those added it will bring me down to needing only fifteen (15) to have the entire collection.
Ten (10) from William Hartnell's time and down to five (5) for Patrick Troughton
Although I do already have reconstructions of all of the mentioned episodes, but would definitely prefer them to animate the missing parts and release them in a completed format.
Or like in the Power of the Daleks they animated the entire eight episodes.
-
:yippee: Went on the weekly trip to the book store oh by the way :luvbooks: 3024 :luvbooks:
And what do I find whilst browsing .... yes
The Macra Terror
... on sale and with my discount a mere $17.54
there was only one copy on display ... oops no there are no copies now :tearlaugh:
Man it is so much better having the entire episode animated, instead of telesnaps ... so very nice.
Bonus they did it in the original black and white plus a version in color.
:yippee:
-
Oh damn, during the introduction to the colony where they are taken to the refreshing center.
The Doctor in the reconstructions and audio was put in a machine to refresh, fresh pressed trousers, polished shoes and so forth.
"why would anyone want to see their reflection in their shoes for" (paraphrasing)
Then he jumps in the rough and tumble to go back to his normal disheveled state
Totally left out of this version.
:sigh:
:rat-atat:
-
The Dominators, The Krotons, Seeds of Death are all on Archive.org colourized and from what I've seen so far bits of other recovered Troughton series.

That should get you there..... Bonus! many many olde series complete in collections...Supercar, UFO, Red Dwarf, Kamen Rider, Metalder.......
Take a few houres and check it out. non-commercial, havent had to block any adverts.
Cheers
-
Not bad, although I am a purist, Patrick Troughton was originally in black and white and that is my preferred medium for his episodes.
Anyway, new rumor "The Fury from the Deep" is going to be animated in 2020
If "The Faceless Ones" and "The Wheel in Space" are completed as promised then 2020 will be a great year for Dr. Who animations.
-
I keep hoping some New Zealand or Australian station will find the complete Troughton series on film. Perhaps even the lost Hartnell episode.
I've seen "Tomb of the Cybermen" as an animation... Not bad.
I live in hope.
Cheers
-
There has been a full and complete version of Tomb of the Cybermen with Troughton out for years.
-
Like the Doctor, I'm a bit out of temporal touch. LAtest I was aware of was a redoing of Tom Baker's Shada. the first time it was stills with Tom narrating, the second they actually found footage and strung it into an episode.
Pat Troughton was missing 8 episodes, some of which was reclaimed with animation.
Will Hartnell was missing 1 episode towards the end of his era, after "The Celestial Toymaker"
I have all those on VHS, and all the newer, From Paul Mcgann through Jodie Whittaker on DVD. self recorded.
My Peter Davidson set was recorded on a misaligned VCR, so I need to get my pro repaired.( near infinate adjustment for tracking)
Cheers
-
Well, being the obsessive collector that I am I have managed to acquire all 314 (and counting) episodes from the very first all the way to the latest. Most are originals, some have animation to replace the missing bits and some are just telesnap with surviving footage which just happens to be the ones they are currently remastering so I am calling that a win.
I hope that they keep animating the missing bits until I have a complete collection.
As it stands now I lack ten (10) for William Hartnell and seven (7) for Patrick Troughton
and when the next three are released for Troughton that number will go down, from 17 to 14 :yippee: .
I am so looking forward to it
-
Like the Doctor, I'm a bit out of temporal touch. LAtest I was aware of was a redoing of Tom Baker's Shada. the first time it was stills with Tom narrating, the second they actually found footage and strung it into an episode.
There is now a complete version of it with animation filling in the missing bits
-
Well, they now have the region two version of the Faceless Ones available
Which does me not one bit of good so we still have to wait on this side of the pond
:sadder:
-
Ah well, what could be better then watching classic Dr. Who on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Tom Baker w/Lalla Ward as Romana
-
Still waiting for the release on this side of the pond for The Faceless Ones ... starting to get cranky ... yes we are ... :rat-atat:
-
At long last we have in our clean, and sanitized grubby little mitts
"The Faceless Ones"
-
They have three version of it a complete animation in black and white of all episodes. One with the surviving episodes along with the animated episode all in the original black and white.
And a color version, so far I have only watched the complete animated version. Just started the one with the surviving footage this morning.
Happy times for me :yippee:
-
In theory "Fury from the Deep" is to be released next, although I would have preferred "The Wheel in Space" first but :shrug:
New Dr. Who to add to the collection is always a good thing.
-
I'm glad they've reconstructed many of the Troughton era. not many left to go.
Thank VHS N.Z. and Australia kept the masters.
Cheers
-
Six more for Troughton at the moment. Once the previously mentioned two are released then it will down to four.
Hartnell still down by ten
-
I thought it was only one storyline. most were out on vhs and broadcast on PBS.
Hrrrmmm......
Cheers
-
One storyline, multiple actors have played the Doctor
In order:
William Hartnell
Patrick Troughton
Jon Pertwee
Tom Baker
Peter Davison
Colin Baker
Sylvester McCoy
Paul McCann (one episode only)
John Hurt (50th anniversary episode only)
Christopher Eccleston
David Tennant
Matt Smith
Peter Capaldi
Jodie Whittaker
-
Series, breaks down to story arcs ( lines), breaks down to stories, breaks down to episodes.
Head canon sucks when no-one else has the poster. 8 (
Don'r forget, Peter Cushing, Richard Hurndell and David Bradley who also played the first Doctor. ANd the Madame Tousauds Wax Tom Baker.
8 )
Cheers
-
It was nice to find actors who were able to play the part of the First Doctor in such a manner that preserved his character quirks after he passed away.
Peter Cushing played the Doctor in an American version of the show which did not take off.
-
Peter was in Hammer Studio's Dakek Invasion 2020 and the other Dalek one. 8 )
I believe Paul McGann was the only one in a fully american production. Fox Studios I think.
Sylvestre McCoy's doctor was cut short on telly but continued on radio for a brief time.
Long hiatus, then the movie, another long time then Christopher Eccleston.
-
:yippee:
The Web of Fear will be released in 2021 on DVD, Blu-ray and as an exclusive Steelbook. In this new edition, episode 3 will be animated, completing the partly missing adventure, produced by Big Finish Creative in collaboration with BBC Studios, with animation created by Shapeshifter Studios.
:yippee:
-
And at last the Fury from the Deep has been released in a region free format, and yes we immediately if not sooner put it in the cart and pushed the button.
I know little things amuse little minds .. now the waiting part
:sigh: arriving between 3/22 - 4/6 :sigh:
-
Fury From the Deep arrived at last 03/26/21
Watched it last night for the first time completely animated, and in black and white of course, definite improvement over telesnaps
Not really one of my favorite episodes mainly I think because of the way the weed was destroyed by Victoria screaming ... to much drama for me ... screaming
Nonetheless we shall have to watch it a few more times to enjoy the actual plot of the story.
Was out at the local book store again today and oh my goodness what do you think I found whilst browsing
The Christmas special "Revolution of the Daleks" w/Jodie Foster as the Doctor
huga huga
oh by the way current count of books in library :luvbooks: 3492 :luvbooks:
-
Now waiting on "The Wheel in Space" to be released

Thank you, Wizzard. I hadn't looked in a long time. And .. Supercar! Really looking forward to this. Tired to fix that broken link in my quote -- not worth the effort.
-
Honestly? I should just have given the archive.org link and said search for what you want.
There's another site with HD versions, remastered etc.
Good Omens, Hitch hikers guide, Lexx, Supercar, Primeval, Torchwood......

Cheers Even Saphire and Steele and the prisoner trilogy. 8 )

Well, at last The Evil of the Daleks has made it to my local store.
Completely remastered and animated as in all episodes. Three versions, one completely animated in black and white. In color completely animated and then one on black and white with the only complete episode included.
I will have to watch this one a couple of times since all I know this one from is telesnaps and there seems to be one sequence missing at the moment, however could have missed that when the neighbor came over to pick up the ammo he asked me to buy.
-
I do hope I am wrong with the supposition that a set of dialog is missing. I am going to have to rewatch episode two as that is where I think I missed it and since that survived in entirety I hope I just overlooked when the neighbor was over.
Since once before they left a bit of dialog out, that was in The Macra Terror. But then again that episode had no surviving footage
-
Well, picked up the Web of Fear with the missing episode animated.
Got one thing to say whatever group did the animation :thud: some of the most absolute worst I have seen.
Granted it was nice to see the missing animation of the dialog but it still was some of the worst ever. I could probably teach my neighbor's kids to do animation and it would look and flow better then whatever group did this episode.
-
:happydance: Galaxy 4 (William Hartnell) has been released on this side of the pond :happydance:
Got me something new to watch this evening, so loving the rest of my day ... well except for grading exams and writing report cards for the children, that is .... :thud:
-
Congratulations are in order the animation team that did this episode were ever so much better then the ones that added the missing episode to "The Web of Fear"
-
Oh cool a bonus was included the opening teaser for the next episode "Mission to the Unknown" .... nice ... very nice
Oh by the way for those who do not know it is the only episode to not include The Doctor or his companions. It is basically a prelude to "The Daleks Master Plan" an epic 12 parter of which only three of them still survive.
-
Just saw a teaser stating that "The Abominable Snowmen" is completed and ready for release ... granted it will take way to long to get over on this side of the pond but at least it is complete and will finally get released on this side of the pond
:happydance:
-
Release is set for September in the UK :yippee: can't wait for it to get to this side of the pond
-
Well, The Complete Season One of Colin Baker as the Doctor has been released.
All I have to say is someone is cuckoo if this is truly the "complete season one" where is "The Twin Dilemma" as that is the true first episode with Colin Baker.
Fine you give new audio for the Attack of the Cybermen, The Mark of the Rani and have extended version of two other plus updated special effects and audio for the last one but to totally not included the first episode and call this a complete season one is :bs:
-
The Abominable Snowmen is slated for release early December on this side of the pond.
And a new teaser they are going to release a season from the First Doctor in a boxed set like the others. This should be very nice, currently no date has been set for release so this is on a "wait and see" list. Of all the episodes included only one had missing bits but they say it will be filled in with stills and such. Well, wasn't holding my breath on an animated version of the two missing episodes but it would have been nice.
Considering that they have done great work in the past with them, so only slightly disappointed. Will have to see how it compares to the reconstruction I already own.
-
A full five days early on the release date for the Abominable Snowmen and at a better price since B&N had it at 30% off plus the extra 10% I have as a card carrying flag, waving member of the store, means a very nice price when it was all done and over with, and obviously watched immediately once I got home. The good news is that the animation team on the show did a magnificent job on the project. Definitely a 10 of 10 on all categories pertaining to rebuilding a missing episode.
Have only watched it the once in the original black and white, but will see what the color version looks like today. While writing the abominable report cards for the students, :sigh: yep that time of the year again.
-
Well, in addition to a season featuring William Hartnell coming soon, they have just now announced season three for Jon Pertwee.
A true recap of the season for him.
The rubbish that was pulled on "season one" for Colin Baker is still :bs:
Why, oh because the missing episode was technically in season 21 not season 22
Then why in the hell do you called it the first season of Colin Baker if it does not have all the episodes featuring him?
This is the only season that this discrepancy has appeared in, so all I have to say to the ass-hats on FB is :soapy:
For those of us here in the States, the first season of Colin Baker includes "The Twin Dilemma" we do not see seasons, we see the show broken down per each Doctor as they take the reins.
It has only been since Eccleston that the episodes have been referred to be a season number, none of the classic Doctor stories were referred to in such a format.
So you want to split hairs and call it season 22 then market it as such and stop with the hair splitting
It is quite unseemly since it was not mentioned during the pre-sale as to why that episode was not included ... yet apparently I am the ignorant one for not reading between the lines ... sorry spell it out accurately some of us in the States do not do "subtle" and I am one of them ... deal with it.
-
Well, the BluRay version of the second season of William Hartnell has been added to the library.
Two things
Negative:
No reconstruction of "The Crusades" just the two existing episode with the others as telesnaps only. All right I do understand what is required when doing an animation of an episode. However they animated the missing two episode of "The Reign of Terror" (total 8 episodes). They also have did an animated construction of the missing three (of four) episodes of "Galaxy Four". Additionally, they have done a complete animated reconstruction of Patrick Troughton's "Power of the Daleks" eight (8) episodes. Plus many others that have surviving episodes and several more that had nothing to work with but telesnaps.
So why the cheat on "The Crusade"?
"The Chase"
Still do not get to see the clip where Vicki insert a light neutron file in the Time and Space Visualizer and see the sequence of it playing a clip from the Beatles. Nor do we get her classic comment "I didn't know they played classical music" or the Doctors comment when it was ended "There you go, you have squashed my favorite beetle (Beatle) "
Positive:
There is a missing 12 seconds from "The Time Meddler" I have heard of this previously but do not recall seeing it or if I did I did not pick up on what was being shown. That changed today as it is part of the full playback and is not an option. The missing bit had to do with the actual death of the two Viking spies. Previously one only assumed that they were killed at some point ... not any more no assumption required. It is brief and not overly played up so unless you are looking for it you will miss the final moment. So kudos for not being overly blatant about it and thanks for restoring the episode fully.
