Doctor who DVD news

[Melkur]

I doubt these are lost for good. Regardless of what people say. Maybe Feast of Steven is the only one but who really knows?

I'm with DVD, I have all the fan edit reconstructions, some with CGI animation that is incredible. I have early telesnap reconstructions done in the style of the VHS release of the Tenth Planet part 4. So if they're too cheap to animate anything, because animation shouldn't be that expensive; especially if it's the chudly work done on the Invasion. Which don't get me wrong that was awesome to see but shouldn't have cost a lot of money as it was mainly block animation and not anything major. It's not like it was on par with Pixar or Disney.

Not lost for good, but they are stuck floating around in space getting steadily further and further away at the speed of light so until we develop either time travel or FTL travel we are stuck.

Or bump into/ hear from an advanced Alien race who have been recording and watching our tv shows for the last 50 years, mind you it would take a fair while for them to hear back off them unless they FTL tech, but it's a possiblity.(one wonders if the tv licencers will jump on them for it?!? )

I was when i found this ages ago....but then i realised

From what i've read elsewhere, as a concept, it's not actually that implausible just very unlikely.

Your main problem will be that it would need to bounce off the object for a while but as the object will move that will make it unlikely, and it would also need to come back at such an angle that it will come back to the Earth at the correct place because we will have moved as well.

The same problem will exist with aliens. The radio waves will be going off in a rather strange trail across space, not a simple line, circle or sphere (depending how many spatial dimensions we are talking about here).

If FTL travel could be developed, and the exact position of the photons carrying the information itself determined then we will know roughly where to go, but chances are we may need to go to different places, potentially hundred of thousands of kilometers apart for three seconds of footage a go. But at the moment we would be happy with anything. If my calculations are correct, if all the extracts are combined together we get the equivelant of a full episode's worth of footage produced before any telesnaps are taken into account. We are about 1% of the way there (possibly more as the title sequences and credits can be recreated very easily).

Bit of news from the DWO twitter on the DVD front

Good to know, although that means there are not that many left for this year now. We only have The Reign of Terror and the set with Shada in it. Might make sense beginning to wind the range down as there is no way they could possibly have a normal release schedule in 2013 unless there are several revisitations.

Am I right only three complete stories left?

Ambassadors of Death
Mind of Evil
Terror of the Zygons

Incomplete confirmed:
The Reign of Terror Episodes 4 & 5 animated
The Ice Warriors
Shada.

God i never realised how few there are left! I guess we will see a few more revisitations in that case, and hopefully some more of those stories that could benefit from a reconstruction we talked about.

Ambassadors of Death & Mind of Evil I reckon next year. So what will make up September, October & November I wonder.

That's why I reckon they will start to slow down. We should be getting The Reign of Terror and the twin pack with Shada and More than 30 Years in the TARDIS this year, then the others next year before the 50th anniversary.

The remaining episode of The Underwater Menace will be released on an upcoming Second Doctor release (guess which one) and Galaxy 4: Air Lock will be on a First Doctor release that is being considered (guess which one).

I have a feeling though we might get a repeat of Invasion of the Dinosaurs though for The Mind of Evil, there will be a colour option but as an extra rather than the "actual" episode. Some people have been saying an experienced Doctor Who colouriser is working on the first episode as there is no chroma dot information stored on the film copy they possess.

To be honest, Mind of Evil looks good in BW.
True, it should be in color, but I'd be happy with a digitized BW version.

The current plan should be to fix up episode one and recolourise the other five episodes (like they did with Planet of the Daleks, and attempted with Invasion of the Dinosaurs).
