My father, Mamoun Hassan, was an uncredited editor on Marco Polo - the filmed (celluloid) sections that you mention (2.36 - 3.21) were edited in the current affairs department where my father was an assistant. His boss had had a 'heavy' lunch at the BBC club and told my Dad that he could edit the material as it was 'only for a kids show' and it really didn't need his attention. Dad only told me about it in the late 90's as he really didn't think it was that interesting or important. When I asked him what the material was like - as it's a lost serial - he said that it wasn't anything special in terms of craft film, but it really tried hard to set up the studio action pieces. In spite of his varied career in cinema, I've been quite proud that my family has a small connection to Doctor Who.
Perhaps the saddest aspect of the loss of Marco Polo is the fact of all the serials in Season One it was by far the most ambitious and arguably most beautiful to look at. Meanwhile lesser stories which are not as visually impressive are fully extant.
I love that they had that little thing where the doctor would mispronounce Ian's last name, even in the massacre when he's recalling old companions. God I miss that. just that little insider.
"As a viewer, and an adult you can enjoy something, and even say that 'Marco Polo' is your favourite serial. Whilst simultaneously recognising and condemning actions taken within it." Thank you Josh Snares, Very Cool.
@@paulheap1982 if it's somebody "whiting up". Eddie Murphy in the Coming To America films, Norbit, Nutty Professor, for example. Is it still just in my mind?
Magnificent documentary. I missed Marco Polo entirely. I only picked up Dr Who in 1965. Thank you so much for this. I feel so much closer to the Hartnell era now.
Thinking of how the vast majority of viewers at the time were watching on comparatively small black and white televisions, it's amazing how beautiful and full of color and detail the sets and costumes on this story were. Documentaries like this are a great way to honor that great work, so thanks mush for this! Parenthetically, I just watched Meglos yesterday - they did Jacqueline Hill dirty!
As a little girl, I loved this story! So much so, that I remember trying to find out, as much as I could, from our school encyclopedias. As the original idea for the series was to teach children about Science and History, I'd say it did its job! I can only echo other's comments that there were few Chinese actors in Britain in those days. Just to say, we were more ignorant than malicious with these awful stereotypes. Great video Josh!
Great video, I love this story. I see lots of REMINI-ing😎 I have to just say that the use of yellow face make-up was one of practicality not automatic racism. The amount of Chinese actors in the UK with good english in 1964 could be counted on one hand. And ironically due to being English speakers, they were often heavily in demand in China (in 1970, director Tim Combe sacked a Chinese actor from The Mind of Evil who just wasn't good enough - He went to the Chinese Actors Agency and the owner of the agency put himself forward as all his actors were unavailable).
I wish they'd find Marco Polo. I mean, it's the serial with highest chance of being found, making it all the more shocking it's not yet been recovered.
Excellent documentary. If this amazing serials is ever recovered, this should a mandatory bonus feature. I revisit the CD set about once or twice a year and have always been impressed with the sweeping narrative of the story. Your research into the production and use of the surviving telesnaps and colour images is a nice touch as well as is the clever setting of some of the images into an old-school TV set, very similar to our first one. Terrific work on this one Josh.
Last year I reread the novelisation for Marco Polo after watching your 'Missing Episodes' series. It's a great read. I've also watched the Loose Canon recon as well and this is very good. It may be 7 episodes, but I felt it had good pacing and overall was quite enjoyable. Would love to see a Animated Recon at some stage, or even better, the original prints found and returned to the BBC.
I always loved the relationship between The Doctor and Ian. That was where a lot of the humour would come from, with The Doctor forgetting his name or taking credit for his ideas (or anyone else's ideas). That's the sort of thing I think about with the 1st Doctor, more so than the grumpiness.
Hey, it's completed, restored, and sitting on the iTunes store waiting to be released! Come on, didn't you learn anything from the #omnirumor? hahaha. ;)
Thanks, Josh, for a fascinating 'Making of'. Concise and informative as always. I really enjoyed both the BBC audio release, and the telesnaps version of this iconic historical. Would love to see this story animated and in colour. Again many thanks for this.
I hope that the supposed animation of the smugglers and the underwater menace are a cover up for animating Marco Polo. Greatest historical storry and it definitely needs to be seen.
It’s really saying something for the quality of Marco Polo that it is so popular despite no frames of footage existing! Loose Cannon’s reconstruction is highly recommended! I hope it’s either fully animated or receives a top-notch, full reconstruction for the Collection set 🤞🏻
Excellent video as always Josh! I've not yet experienced Marco Polo in any form as of yet but it's definitely the missing Doctor Who story I'm most interested in! Excellent point at the end of the video about enjoying the story regardless of it's racial problems and I completely agree with what you say. It's just a shame that people don't look at stories like this and "Talons" with this outlook.
Oh perfect, I was trying to explain the tragedy of the lost Marco Polo to my friend last night but couldn't remember which video it was, how fortunate the hottest youtuber is also the most helpful
Marco Polo is my favourite Dr Who story. I've enjoyed the audio many times and it's good to look through the telesnaps as it plays. The novel is also fantastic.
I just listened to the BBC audio release of this story as I begin my Classic Who viewing. I really enjoyed it. While researching, I came across this video. Thank you for such an amazing documentary.
I think if Marco Polo were to be found, it would be far less popular. Because no way would it look as epic and amazing in reality as it does in our heads.
Another quality video dude, I really enjoy your delve's into classic who. On the DWME forum and 60s Who Facebook group this comes up the most I'd say for episode most people want to see recovered (or to be animated). Keep up the good work dude :)
Great video as always, Josh. I am 100% convinced that this story is out there somewhere and will be returned some day. There were just too many prints out there.
One thing came to mind - the high angle shot of the TARDIS dematerialising at the end was actually achieved by shooting up into a suspended mirror above the police box prop, which was more practical than trying to raise up one of the bulky cameras up into a gantry.
If they made it into an animated serial it would be great to redo the episode and put the doctor back in it with his dialogue so we can see how much different the episode was - extra treat for fans
Excellent research, kept my attention the whole way through, but that might be in part because of those GORGEOUS high quality pictures! Remini is truly a miracle!
I remember putting this story on for the first time when I was working on a term paper. I remember seeing the loose cannon version on video dalymotion. But something strange happened when I put on the episode 1. The first ten to fifteen seconds of the episode were there but what was shocking was it was in color. At the time I was shocked. A second there I thought I found episode one completed in color. Then it turned back to loose cannon in black and white. I couldn’t make that up if I tried
I believe that was something they shot specifically for the reconstruction. I think it starred Marco Polo's original actor as an older Marco, writing down his time spent with the Tardis crew. (Also, the REAL Marco Polo was in prison by the time he told his stories. So much for him wanting freedom...)
Great video! This could easily be a disc feature BBC. I appreciate the message at the end... Talons of Weng Chiang needs a bit of contextual defending at the mo too.
Interesting to think that Part 2 of Marco Polo is technically the first “Doctor-Lite” episode purely by accident. I think The Doctor’s absence in part 2 is what gives the episode it’s power, the characters are at a low point, trapped in a foreign land in a barren desert with no way to get home and no water, and the person that’s been their leader and getting them out of these situations is completely absent, probably himself without a clue as to what to do. Maybe if not for this episode we wouldn’t have Blink 😝
Me: Watches a video about the making of Marco Polo Josh: Includes an upload from my dailymotion account in his video. Me: *dies* This is a wonderful overview to the behind the scenes journey of this missing serial. Thank you for putting in the time and effort. Keep up the great work!
Ah Josh I think you may have outdone yourself. Lovely tribute to a wonderful missing story and as usual I've learnt lots. I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again but I really hope they have the sense and humility to come to you when those 1-6 season collections come out. Amazing stuff. Any chance this is the first of another in depth series on the missing episodes or is that hoping for too much? Haha.
Great video ,as one person who watched it live I can say as a young boy I just wanted it to end and the monsters to return. No one batted an eye at the dialogue then as that's how things were and yes in today's way of thinking it can feel wrong but that's how life is and sixty years from now today's dialogue will be seen as sometimes shameful. It's all relative
I did get the "The Beginning" DVD boxset for Christmas not long ago (not last Christmas though) and I was pleased to see that The Edge of Destruction had a lead-in to Marco Polo, as it mean there was still a some bit of the story that survived.
We have the complete audio, we have the script, and we have numerous still photos in color and in black&white. Everything needed to produce an animated reconstruction. And what a masterpiece it could be, all three-and-a-half hours of it.
12:18 - "POLO:...For instance, when I was a boy in Venice, they told me that in Cathay there was a stone which burned. I did not believe them, but there is such a stone. I have seen it. IAN: It's black, isn't it. POLO: Yes. IAN: Coal. POLO: In Cathay, we call it the burning stone. And if a stone burns, why not a caravan that flies? Birds fly. I have even seen fish that fly. You are asking me to believe that your caravan can defy the passage of the sun? Move not merely from one place to another, but from today into tomorrow, today into yesterday? No, Ian. That I cannot accept."
Still a true shame that this episode is lost it is still a firm hope that it is out there somewhere even if it's just an episode or two episodes of it and if it is it's probably in someone's private collection or the sad reality is that it was destroyed and in which case it will never be seen ever again. It is nice that we at least have the novelization, thanks to the surviving audio track it would be nice if they recreated this with an animated Doctor Who movie
I saw this and instantly thought that it was getting animated (as you have done a Making Of for Fury From the Deep and The Faceless Ones) A quick search told me that no, I wasn’t going to be that lucky:( Great video as always btw
I read the novel a while ago, was pretty good, but I worry that if it were to be released properly I would find myself disappointed due to the limitations that my mind doesn't have lol.
I couldn't watch the Reconstruction because whenever I looked at the sets I just thought "Why hasn't this been found yet?". I would love to see this story the way it was meant to be seen.
Lime Grove in Shephard's Bush Green, its right behind the marketplace and trainline today and still exists. Next time i pass by it, i'll be thinking how the first season of Doctor Who was filmed there.
Marco Polo is one of my favorite Hartnell stories, tho I never saw the episodes. I did read the novel ,and the DWM archives and listened to the CD ! It inspired me to find a biography of Marco Polo. ( Not an easy task! Most were children's books! I DID find one tho!)
![How Doctor Who's Missing Episodes Came Back [Part 1]](/img/n.gif)

Josh is really getting bold with these hints that he stole Marco Polo, huh.
Wow Josh, that was amazing, you making of documents should be put on the blu rays
A great effort Josh, and worthy of a spot on a DVD/Blu-Ray. Also have learnt that the 2020 calendar lines up with 1964's :)
And you treat us to your Hartnell impression, followed by a very good, mature dialogue on the use of yellowface
I love that they had that little thing where the doctor would mispronounce Ian's last name, even in the massacre when he's recalling old companions. God I miss that. just that little insider.
"As a viewer, and an adult you can enjoy something, and even say that 'Marco Polo' is your favourite serial. Whilst simultaneously recognising and condemning actions taken within it." Thank you Josh Snares, Very Cool.
I guess you could say the same of The Talons of Weng-Chiang. A story I personally think is brilliant.
But are you as quick to condemn it if it's the other way?
@@QuagmiresDooflaband what would "the other way" be? Beyond something that only exists in your mind,

Magnificent documentary. I missed Marco Polo entirely. I only picked up Dr Who in 1965. Thank you so much for this. I feel so much closer to the Hartnell era now.
What a great video. This needs to be put on the blu ray release when it happens. Marco Polo is one of my favourite stories. Amazing work josh

Gasp! You didn't mention the wealth of set/costume/etc colour photos that were taken during the production!
Excellent Josh! - many thanks for producing these superb videos of the classic era.
Marco Polo really needs to get found/animated soon. Purely because I want them to make DVD extras while Mark Eden and William Russell are still alive.
Spoke to soon mark eden died
Thank you Josh. I always enjoy your documentaries and the work you put into them
excellent video Josh, please make more documentaries on the missing episodes, keep up the good work fella
