Having both The Ice Warriors and Shada on dvd would be very welcome indeed!

To be honest, I don't know

As far as I'm aware, the animation team are working on the Hartnell story 'The Reign of Terror' at the moment

The old VHS release of 'The Ice Warriors' featured telesnaps instead of moving images to cover the missing episodes, so it's possible that this is what is going to happen with the DVD - similar to the presentation of 'Marco Polo' on the 'The Edge of Destruction' DVD

If we're very lucky, the missing Ice Warrior episodes might not need to be animated. At the moment there's a rumour that a set of viewing prints for the Ice Warriors were sent to a German TV station in 1968 which could potentially still exist. It's still under investigation at the moment but hopefully something might come out of it so keep you're fingers crossed!

Sadly, I think the keyword here is 'potentially'

Knowing German efficiency, I would imagine they were returned to the BBC as soon as they had been finished with

Obviously, I would LOVE to be proved wrong about this

That would be great if it's true. Certainly since the discovery of the most recent two episodes, it has been stated that a number of new leads were being followed up, so maybe this is one of them. I would love to see more Troughton stuff being discovered :pray:

Indeed that would be most exiting.

According to a report on Blastr, The Zygons may be coming back for the new series

That would be fantastic. The Zygons really are extremely under used villains, very Lovecraftien to, which is always a plus for me. Would love to see The Great Inteligence return as well.

After the last series and the way the Cybermen were wasted leaves me with no hopes for the next season.

Got my Revisitations 3 this week - saw Three Doctors. It was good but not as good as I thought it would be - I was hoping for more Pertwee/Troughton interaction which was pretty much missing from ep2 and a fair bit of ep 3, after the strength of ep 1. Always good to see more Hartnell (even though he could not star in that much of it).

Getting through the Seeds of Death - just finished ep 3. Really liking this story so far.

There are also a number of incomplete stories that I have no idea what they are going to do with:

’The Reign of Terror’ has episodes 4 & 5 missing. These are due to be animated, and the story released sometime during 2012
’The Tenth Planet’ the final episode missing. The VHS video release used telesnaps to complete the story
’The Ice Warriors’ has got episodes 2 & 3 missing. The VHS featured off-air audio recordings to cover the gaps
It is hoped that these missing episodes will also be animated

’Shada’ was never completed due to a BBC technicians strike. The VHS video contained linking narration for the missing segments. The story has also been re-told as an animated version on BBCi. Ian Levine announced on 8 September 2011 that his personally-funded reconstruction of all six episodes of the serial, using animation and recently-recorded vocal tracks to fill in missing parts of the story, had now been completed. However, the animation was rejected by 2Entertain, and it has been announced that the shot footage for the story will be released in 2012 with assorted Doctor Who material, including the 1993 documentary 'More Than 30 Years In The TARDIS.'

In December 2011, it was announced that two missing episodes had been located - episode 3 of 'Galaxy Four' and episode 2 of 'The Underwater Menace'. Again, it is currently uncertain as to how these episodes are going to be released. It has been suggested that there may be an updated version of 'Lost in Time', or a 'Lost in Time 2' or that they will be included as an extra feature with a forthcoming full Hartnell and Troughton release, or there will be a release featuring one of the incomplete Hartnell and Troughton releases, and they will be included there

Having got the 'Revisitations 3' boxset last week, I watched The Robots Of Death again. I've always loved this one, but watching it in all its remastered glory truly shows what a classic story this is. Great sets and costumes, terrific performances and the coolest robots ever. Absolute classic.

I had forgoten about the Davros Boxset up until now.
Sad to say that after NuWho season 2 i fell out of getting the special editions on dvd/ Blu-ray. Shame really, they would have looked nice together.
I DO own the limited edition key to Time saga DVD collection though in a 3D shape like that of the Key to Time. It's rather awsome.

Death to the Daleks is now up for pre-order on Amazon to be released on 18th June:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007EAFV5...796%26page%3D3

Probably my favourite Dalek story. Can't wait.

I know it doesn't have many fans but i really like the location work in this story.

The actor Philip Madoc, who was born in Merthyr Tydfil, has died at the age of 77
 

The actor Philip Madoc, who was born in Merthyr Tydfil, has died at the age of 77

Great actor in a great Dr Who episode, rip

Alas, yet another nail in the coffin of great Who actors.
He played many other villains beside's Solon in tBoM, including The War Lord in the Troughton story The War games.
He also appeared in Who on three other occasions.
Firstly in the Krotons as Eelek, then in the T.Baker story The Power of Kroll as Fenner before voicing Victor Schaeffer in the Big Finish audio drama Master.
The man is also well known for appearing in UFO, Space: 1999, and Survivers.
I, however, best remember him as Commander Lutzig in the eternal episode of Dad's Army 'The deadly Attchament'.
Lutzig- I am making note's Cap-a-tain (!). And when we win ze war you will be taken into account.
Mainwaring- You can write all the note's you like your not gonna win this war....
Lutzig- Aw yez wve are!
...........I would go on, but, the rest of this seen has to be seen to be believed.:pound:
Utter legend, RIP.

That's such sad news. He was a brilliant actor. RIP :(

Ah, another one gone, a sad loss etc. RIP.

He was great in the War Games and Brain of Morbius. He was also terrific as Noel Bain in a Mind to Kill. Brilliant actor RIP.

he's currently in Cadfael on BBC4Xtra btw, i forgot to say yesterday....

Cover art has now been released for Death to the Daleks:
Looks very nice!

Clearly Pertwees awsomeness is such that he can physically emit it in waves and this phenomena would appear to have the ability to make Daleks heads explode.:lol:

When i was a kid and had never seen Death to the Daleks, pictures like this made me think Exxilons set you on fire when they touched you.

How sadly wrong was i?

Like Day Of The Daleks, it seems Death is going to have specially filmed new scenes and effects ( including Dalek voices ) :

Play.com - Buy Doctor Who: Death To The Daleks online at Play.com and read reviews. Free delivery to UK and Europe!

Thanks for the info Mojo, thats the first i've heard of that. I really liked the original effects anyway but the new ones should make it even better, especially the Dalek voices.

Pertwee
 

Im only really now catching up on the Pertwee years,so pardon my ignorance,how does these episodes compare with later dalek episodes?

Do you mean later as in Davison, Baker and McCoy or Tennant, Smith etc.

I presume you mean the classic stuff as i recall reading you hadn't seen the new series.

Pertwee
 

Yeah i kind of stopped watching about the McCoy period,and only really buy the Davison, Baker and Pertwee periods,ive not watched any of the recent years :o

Did you see the McCoy story Remembrance of the Daleks? Along with Colin Baker's Revelation of the Daleks it could be my favourite Dalek story ever.

Both stories have excellent production values, the McCoy story is action packed and the Baker one is grim as hell, involving Davros using suspended humans and turning them into a new Dalek race.

Davison's Resurrection of the Daleks is heavy with its death toll and is an enjoyable story.

Its difficult for me as i love Daleks and all their stories. I think the Hartnell adventure The Chase is the worst story but even that has a great climax with the Daleks fighting the Mechanoids.

I'll post some grabs from Revelation and Rememberance if you want.

I'll post some grabs from Revelation and Rememberance if you want.
 

yeah very interested in checking these later episodes out,I have a slight Dalek fetish,I got the remote controled versions,and the other pic is outside Forbidden Planet in Bristol last year,I think ive just come out of the Dr Who closet ;)

The new gold design Daleks are excellent as are the green ones from Victory of the Daleks. The multi coloured ones i am less impressed with, however they were brilliant at the Doctor Who live show.

Remembrance of the Daleks Part 1

The story gets better and better, here's some stills from the opening five minutes of episode 4.

I'm not giving any plot details away, just showing an action scene. Apparently the explosions were so big and loud alarms went off all over the surrounding streets.

Hopefully you can judge the effects from these pics Vic.

Revelation of the Daleks

Who violence at its best. At the time dear Mary was up in arms about the multiple graphic stabbings, including the emptying of the syringe into Jobel as he dies.

I've left out the best scene of the Dalek /human horror revelation as i hope you will pick the story up on dvd, its only around a fiver and is well worth it when you see Davros' creation.

Its a great story that includes grave robbing, contract killings and a huge nod to Soylent Green. In my opinion this is nowhere near child friendly Doctor Who and the series was put on hiatus after this and told to lighten up when it returned eighteen months later.

What are your thoughts after seeing the stills Vic?

dalek mayhem
 

Excellent still's Dems,looking forward to watching these

Not fond of Remembrance, but Revelation Of The Daleks is one of the best Dalek stories ever IMO

Who here knows how many times Mr Bronson from Grange Hill (Sorry, I can't think of his name and it's the only other thing I can remember him being in of the top of my head) has appeared in different stories with the various docs?
