To mark the sci-fi show’s 60th anniversary this year, two stories from the 1960s are to be drawn and released on Blu-ray and DVD.
They are William Hartnell’s penultimate story The Smugglers, and Patrick Troughton’s third adventure, The Underwater Menace.
Episodes two and three of The Underwater Menace have been recovered, but only brief clips from The Smugglers story exist.
BBC bosses plan to colourise certain stories from the Hartnell and Troughton eras (1963-69), for broadcast next year. This is likely to include the very first story, An Unearthly Child.
The animation deal is not connected to the show’s tie-up with Disney+...." |
They've never been wrong once regarding animations
AFAIK, so...
Not been very impressed with recent animations. It will be interesting to see though, depending on where the new funding is coming from, if they persist with colour and the silly need to animate eps that still exist (both of which were down to BBC America).
I'm actually more excited by the prospect of colourisations - providing it's done well could be an exciting new way to watch 60s Who. I heard they were doing with this with 2 Hancock eps so it happening with Who seems not just plausible but inevitable.
