Absolutely brilliant work. This video deserves 10x the views!

I am determined to avoid complacency with these videos - this is a stunner, forensically compelling viewing, smoothly presented and professionally executed. Thanks

Outstanding video, thank you so much for making it!

Doctor Who looks great on VHS and lame on Blu-Ray. Those early effects (especially the 60s) were very low budget even for tv, even for the era. They do not hold up as well under HD the same way changing black and white to color artificially makes it look worse. I was disappointed when Pluto replaced the live classic Who with Blu-Ray versions. The title sequence especially suffers. The slit scan and howlaround effects looks so much more awesome on VHS. Starfield one too.

An awesome video in billions of ways, and I have the dvd release of this, and it is awesome in billions of ways and well made.

Great work David, it's like my eyes have been opened! Would love to see one of these for the mercury swamp scene, as I feel a lot of that is mysterious too!

I'd suggest that one reason for the break in recording before the mirror inlay shot was at least partly to rig a hidden rigid support for the mirror. In the days before motion tracking, compositing two essentially static images together betrayed even the most miniscule unsteadiness. However steady an actor tried to be in holding the mirror it would never be good enough for a convincing result.

Excellent analysis thank you. Please do an analysis of the Dalek incubator room scene now that we have some fragments from that.

I thought no film or telesnaps survived??

FUCKING brilliant!

great video. the camera scripts are really interesting, is there a guide on how to read them anywhere? I can kind of pick up some of the terminology but I'm not fully confident, although I guess I could compare with the scripts of existing episodes

Amazing video David! Fascinating to hear about the shot of the stovepipe hat landing on the clock, never heard of that. I’d love to see more missing scene breakdowns like this, makes you realise how much is really lost! Great video as always 😄

Superb, David. Thank you for putting this together.

Great video! This will really help with my future reconstructions. I was wondering, could you make a video showing how the last moments of the tenth planet could've REALLY looked according to the camera script, telesnaps, the 8mm footage, and the Blue Peter footage?

Brilliant stuff.

Does the title suggest that this'll be a series? I hope so!

At least we've got episodes three through six, and the 2013 animation of one and two. We could have had the whole story; Nigeria had apparently screened this story along with _The Aztecs_ and _Galaxy 4_ in '73. However, it was prints of _The Keys of Marinus_ from a much earlier run, almost completely redundant (except for retaining the demise of the Brains of Morphoton in episode 2 and the Next Episode caption in episode 6), that got found with those two stories in '84 instead. Weird how things happen. Seeing how _The Time Meddler_ 3 is said to have only survived because the extant print and the negative got mixed up with the master tape and the negative respectively of _The Time Warrior_ 3... (Certainly no copies of TTW were struck between the making of _Whose Doctor Who_ in '76 and the recovery of an NTSC print of TTW 3 from somewhere in Nebraska in '79)

Amazing that those notes survivved. Am curious about the very short clips recorded off the TV. Why do just them?

9:58 I think that's clearly him saying "Are you coming you two?"

Incredible work as usual

Superbly detailed work! Impressive stuff.

9:40 I’ve long suspected that’s from the end of the line "Are you coming, YOU TWO‽" (relevant section capitalised) from that first swamp scene. It would fit with him calling to the still-in-the-TARDIS Ben & Polly, and he could be simply returning his hat to his head from having dropped it during the preceding action sequence.

Great video, David👏

I suspect the stray Troughton bit with the hat might be shot 97, the Doctor saying "I am wearing proper clothes". Then puts the hat on. Getting a laugh as it clearly contradicts his comment.

Wonderful!

One more time in the story of missing episodes we are left with more questions than answers.

Excellent work!

Absolutely superb work. Thank you so much. That gave me a much clearer understanding of what went on in the scene.

idk why I keep thinking your name is John XD but these videos are lovely! "YYOUUU BEELLLLOOONNGGGG TOOO USS!!! YOU SHALLL BEEEEE LIKKEEEE USSS!!!"

Can you do a video talking about the alleged Ben and Polly shot(s) from the first Doctors regeneration?

1:16 -- Hartnell fluff!

Good old Cyril Shaps.

Thank you for bringing some objective accuracy to the question of Hartnell's abilities. He was the finest actor to have played the Doctor, and a real professional. I would challenge any 2024 actor to deal with the workload of Hartnell in Doctor Who.

Announcer = Jane Westrop

Hey David! I have a question, at 12:59 minutes into The Chase: The Death Of Time there is a very abrupt shot of Vicki. Is part of the episode damaged at that part or was someone just deciding to add a weird random short shot of Vicki?

Are these all restored in the current blu ray?

2:10 Uh, where did you get these tele-snaps, just curious.

Interesting possible use for AI here. The tech is getting good enough that this might be a great fit... Hmmmm

Roy Skelton says that they didn't have time to sort out a device to fit in his mouth which is why he had to put a buzz in his own voice.

As a huge Quatermass/Kneale fan I (also hugely!) appreciate this go-thru!! I wonder if the up-rsed version put out, I believe, on Blu-ray also had these same cuts? Do you know? Or other cuts that differ from this earlier composite assembly? Thanks again. Good wishes from LA, CA, USA!

My memories of watching as a seven-year old include a filmed insert, in ep.2 I think, in which we see (from Steven’s POV) a zoom-in on Hartnell dressed in a grey robe (don’t think the hood was up, but I’m not sure as there’s a picture of a hooded Hartnell on the original cover of the Target novelisation.) Like Steven, I thought this was the Doctor disguised for some reason, so I was puzzled when the credits rolled with ‘Abbot of Amboise William Hartnell’ - in the usual font used as far back as Unearthly Child by the way! The Radio Times synopsis for the following episode stated ‘Steven thinks he has seen the Doctor…’ and that put a seed of doubt in my mind as to whether all was as it seemed. My strongest memories of the story are in the final minutes, where we saw some graphic woodcut images of people being pushed into fires, and skulls and bones in the midst of said fires, followed by Steven raging at the Doctor in the safety of the TARDIS before apparently leaving ( and an interesting shot where we see him walking through the Police Box doors beyond the control room’s inner doors, about the only time this was done!) and the Doctor sadly reminiscing about his departed companions before the film insert of Dodo running towards the camera en route to the police box … but somehow I can’t recall whether that godawful prop mash-up was clearly shown, I think I’d have noticed the state it was in!

Did Power Of The Daleks really have a "NEXT WEEK Dr. Who And The Highlanders" at the end like the loose cannon reconstruction?

I have two questions by the way, how do I listen to the doctor who off air audios? specifically the one for Space Pirates episode 2?

Clever shots they did.

I like this educational vid.

Checking this out after your recent appearance on a certain missing episode podcast. Great appearance added loads of interesting facts and tidbits
