Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure - Restored
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 кві 2023
- The Ultimate Adventure, starring Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor, was never professionally recorded. Yet, fans took their camcorders and audio recorders to the event.
This video combines two fan recordings, along with a high quality audio recording to make a "watchable" version of the story. It's not incredible, but it's watchable!
Unfortunately I couldn't find any higher quality video recordings, hopefully the official BBC team can source them and create a better production than this!

Oh Christ, I worked on this! lol I was responsible for the Zog outfit as well as some other masks. To quote Red letter media "How embarrassing" LOL
Red letter media should review this! Great job on Zog!
@@CosmicWhovian LOL Thanks.
But:" Here is Your work ' watched by the new Genatrations Starved for productions and entertainment of intellectual quality where imagination is prevalent, and "Fun".. Instead of A Sociatel preacher with purple hair spewing the froth of WOKE from their hateful mouths........Anyways Sir" Kudos; Well Done !!
Oh wow! Were you there for the night David Banks stepped in to play the Doctor? His flash-in-the-pan incarnation has always fascinated me.
You guys were able to see it? I was born in 2010 and I never got to see it.
So, how accurate is this to the actual show? And who sings that this is worth watching the entire thing if I have time?
I saw this in Manchester, when Jon Pertwee was playing the Doctor. It was nonsense. But we all loved it! To be in the same room as the Third Doctor, albeit about 60 feet away, was something never to be forgotten. 1989 - a great year.
I saw it in Manchester too on My 14th Birthday. It was a treat from My late Dad. It was a blast, I loved it as did My Dad. We staged doored afterwards and gt My program signed by Jon(which Im told He didn't always obliged) He was really lovely from what I can remember of the experience. I was on a real high from watching the show then meeting JP. A treasured memory non the less. :-)
Jon Pertwee came here back when only the Tom Baker episodes had been seen by us Yanks for the Dr.Who USA tour. He was amazing! When he autographed a photo for me and I started to walk off he said "Jonathan, be careful that ink is very wet and might streak" I thought that was awesome! He remembered my name he had just signed and cared enough to say be wary of the ink. It would be about 5 years later that I would finally see his episodes.
Josh! This is amazing. Justice for all those people who put time and effort into the production and touring of this show. I was lucky enough to see it with Jon Pertwee when it came to Glasgow. He was magnificent! Thanks for this. Neil.
The ultimate adventure's footage could have been lost like a lot of 60's who, crazy to think about that!
Honestly, I'm just glad to have more vintage Colin Baker.
Wow! Josh - unbelievable. Older Whovian here. I saw this starring Colin Baker at a sadly far from full Edinburgh Playhouse in 1989 with my little Sis. It was such a joy seeing Colin on stage, after he was shafted by Michael Grade. Thanks so much for talking your time & skill for putting this together + thanks to original folk who filmed & recorded the stage play. Cheers!
This is amazing. I've seen the stage production twice. Once when Pertwee was taken ill mid-performance. It's criminal that nobody recorded this on video at the time. It's funny looking back on this now. I keep asking myself: Why didn't The Doctor save us from Margaret Thatcher!
Is That the David Banks versions He was reportedly a stand in for
one uncompleted performance In one show and did a complete performance as the doctor in another show
Why would the Doctor want to 'save us' from a democratically elected Prime Minister?
As a Who fan from across the pond, Thanks Josh for all your efforts preserving and restoring all things Who.
There's so much content out there that many of us in "the colonies" aren't even aware of...like this.
Much appreciated!
Hey Josh I saw the Jon Pertwee version of this in Birrngham, and I have to say it was very very good, JP stepped back into the role as if he'd never been away, and the production looked great. The disadvantage that this video has is it being shot from the side that you don't get the full spectacle of the 'time tunnel' that the lasers and smoke created at the start of the show- which really were 'proper theatrical magic'. Plus the Daleks were designed with a slightly skewed perspective so viewed from a seated position below the stage looked very imposing and impressive especially the Dalek Emperor prop. Great nostalgic vibes here though- thanks for posting this!
So nice to finally see this in all its glory, well done Josh.
I'd love to see the Pertwee version. I do like Colin's 'toned down' version of his costume in this production, though.
I seem to recall that the only recordings of Pertwee's performance are of extremely low quality. I still wonder if some audio wizardry could at least restore it to a better condition. I'd love to see it done.
There is certainly a version available on UA-cam.
@@frogoat Some audio wizardry could most certainly be done I've seen some incredible results using Adobe's audio AI reconstruction thing so I'm certain that could probably give at least some decent results.
I loooooove this version of his costume.
Thank you so much for all your hard work Josh.
This makes me all the more sad excited for the upcoming figures! I’m dying to get my hands on that Colin Baker variant!
Wow, this is so cool. In the behind the scenes interviews of one of Big Finish’s stage play adaptions (I don’t remember which), the writer talks about how producing audio adaptions of plays is hard because plays are so much about visual spectacle. I feel that that is very applicable here.
No way! I remember your original video on this. So cool you're releasing it after all this time 😁
An excellent effort at polishing up an old picture... so to speak!.
Very well done. 🤠 👍🏻
Colin Baker was made for the stage, it certainly was a colourful performance. I loved it. 🙂
That was thoroughly interesting, took me a couple of sittings to watch through the whole thing. I bought a DVD of both of those recordings many years ago, and they were barely watchable. This was incredible, a great restoration, amazing work. It looks incredibly ambitious to do a whole Doctor Who story on stage.
you are now officially the best doctor who youtuber!
Nice one Josh excellent work. I saw the show in Brighton when I was about 8 years old. I remember going into the shop next door to the theatre with my parents to buy sweets for the show and seeing Colin in there buying a newspaper haha! ❤
I wasn't even aware there was more than the one video of the Colin Baker version... brilliant work
Josh this is brilliant! Thank you. I have audio of Pertwee, Banks and Baker playing the Doctor and some snaps and bits and pieces. Lovely to see it all pieced together like this! The Ultimate Adventure team were a great lot and the matinee finale in Eastbourne was a ball! The West Midlands Whonatics (pronounced like lunatics) had a ball! 🙂
We'd all want to hear Pertwee's version
Fantastic work and thank you for finally releasing this! I'll be sticking it on a VHS to have on my shelf with the other rare DW media that never got a release! 😊
This is amazing! 80s kid here and went to the show in Manchester. Amazing nostalgia! That laser tunnel with the TARDIS was amazing as a 9 year old!
Thank you Josh this was a great b-day surprise especially since there was no upload last week. Keep up the good work
I can't believe you finally posted this!!! I remember when you first made the video talking about you making this, thank you so much for your efforts to preserve the Ultimate Adventure
Josh, you never fail to disappoint. You are one of the best Whotubers! Great video.
This is legitimately important work. Thank you, Josh!
Well done stitching all these different pieces together in order to get one final product. I remember reading about this when I was a kid but since I live in the States I never had the opportunity to see it myself in person. Thank you for releasing this so I finally get the chance to watch it.
I was new to Doctor Who in 1989, and so missed the chance to see this live, even though it came to my home town. I appreciate it now, but not sure how a 12 year old me would have would have reacted! Nice restoration and a good way to quell my curiosity about this show!
Wow. Half way into this yesterday (the big finish version) and look what appeared in my feed. Bravo sir.
Oh I'm surprised you were able to upload this! Hopefully it doesn't get taken down. I don't have the time to watch this tonight, but hopefully I can get around to it sooner rather than later!
For years I've wanted the chance to see. Thank you so much sir, my collection has just gotten even happier!
I was lucky enough to see all three Doctors - David Banks covered Jon Pertwee when he was "indisposed" at the Alexandra Theatre Birmingham, next we went by train to Bristol to see Jon, and finally Colin at in Wolverhampton. All three were great.
I wish there was a better quality Jon Pertwee one, I would've loved to see him.
Thank you SO MUCH for this, Josh!!! Brilliant work!!! Brings back happy, happy memories of following this show all over the UK, and getting to see all three Doctors (David Banks exactly 34 years ago TODAY!!!)
Cant believe this popped up on my feed. After all these years i finally get to see this treasure. Thanks so much Whovian legend.
The day he promised has arrived!! Thank you so much josh!!!
I remember you doing a video on how this is was made. I never thought we would see the final results. It’s very well put together.
Thank you to everyone involved to bring us this video
Once again Josh you have made Whovians around the world collectively lose our minds 🤯
Greatly appreciated 🙏 (but you know that)
WHATT?! ITS FINALLY HERE
Fantastic work, The Official Josh Snares UA-cam Channel! 😉 I couldn't possibly forget that!
Magnificent work! A treasure I never dreamed I'd ever see.
Having seen some of the original wonky recordings, your restoration work here is absolutely incredible.
Josh, thank you so so much for doing this! I've always wanted to see this in full! I am so grateful that you are sharing all your talents with the Whovian community!
Second Jason, (I preferred the original).
Josh, this is magic mate! I always wondered if someone taped it... camcorders were so big in those days (one of my peers took a Sony Video8 into the stalls at the Alex in Birmingham and had it confiscated). Me and my other mate made audio recordings.
Wow. Thanks for posting this up. Sadly, I never got to see this production live, when it came to my local theatre(The Marlowe in Canterbury, Kent).
Thanks Josh! You always do great stuff, cheers me up
thanks for posting this josh, i have never seen any of this
Thank You for this‼
Wonderful Josh, thanks!!
a fan since 63: i saw the keys of time on stage, bakers take on the doctor was misunderstood. thank frell for big finish and how they treated old sixie!
That, in spite of the picture quality, was rather good. Thanks for uploading, very enjoyable 😊
What an amazing reconstruction!
This is great, Josh. Thanks!
I've wanted to see this show since I was 7. I naively thought it was bound to come to the Gaiety Theatre in the Isle of Man. It did not! Thanks so much for this!
great work Josh. I saw Jon Pertwee in this in Bristol when I was a teenager. For all its flaws and more pantomime moments I remember the absolute delight of the broad multi-generational family audience from start to finish. I remember finding it very hard to get a ticket!
Love your work!
Well done Josh, very well done! 😊
please approach reeltime and make this a commercial release - it's brilliant - well done!
Incredible work!
Thank you Josh. Big finish did a great adaptation for audio of this story so I feel I know it well. Great to have some visuals. I think the imagination of the designers didn't meet their ability to bring it to the stage. The camera equipment used did not do it justice. It is a pity that such stage productions are not routinely filmed for posterity and that we have to resort to such bootleg means.
Excited for this one!
Thanks, this is great! I never knew it existed.
One does rather get the impression that Judith Hibbert was having a WHOLE lot of fun belting out "Business is Business" as Madame Delilah. (I swear I heard that song once in 1989 and it stuck in my brain for literal decades until Big Finish released a CD version of the show and I realised I had remembered it nearly word perfect... I'm still not sure whether to be proud or appalled about that)
I am so keen to sit and watch this!
They really should consider doing a new version of this stageplay live with either Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann or David Tennant
The Doctor Who Movie your parents never told you about!
Great work.
shame they would never do something like this again . must have been great to see Colin and jon Pertwee do this live
It was.
I’ve got copies of both the script for this, and the abandoned Andrew Cartmel/ Ben Aaronovitch stageplay. And lots of slides, somewhere.
I didn't know about the Cartmel/Aaronovitch play! Interesting stuff :)
banging video !!
oddly enough, iv found that if you only listen to it you can still understand it without the visuals
The Dr Who equivalent of the StarWars Holiday Special
This is so cool!
Crossover with Review of Death to do a commentary track of this when???
looking forward to this
Would have loved to have seen this.
I saw this in Manchester with Jon Pertwee. I still have the theatre poster framed on my wall
Yes! Thank you for releasing it!
I also have a question, do I have permission to use some of this, all I want to do is just for my own juice I want to try and edit the Theme, the part right before we first, see the doctor, and try and make it better quality .
Yes, I do not use this to make any money and if I saw a copyright rules, is it OK if I use it? Because I can't find an audio only version and yours is the closest I have.
They should bring back an updated version of this play for today's audience.
Wow looks amazing
A heroic endeavour!
Awesome! They finally let you put it up?
Bloody Hell I remember seeing this at the Leeds Grand Theatre in the late 80's!!! I had forgotten about it till now...Never realized they didnt use the TV theme but this rather tinny rehash of something that sounded more like a 1980's cop series lol! I did love the show though and Colin was great. i remember meeting Rebecca Thornhill and Colin after and getting autographs.
awsome thankyou
Absolutely amazing, I would have loved to have seen this as as ten year old kids in 1989, but they didn't bring this to Belfast, then again no-one really did back then...😢
Such a treat!
the music at the start kinda goes hard ngl
Sixth Time Lord Doctor: While in Regeneration:
Do not choke your Traveling Companion's:
fantastic
Lucky enough to see Jon Pertwee and Colin Baker, this was happy and guilt free Doctor Who, good times. 😀
Good job
Restored? ... I wouldn't like to see the UNRESTORED version! 🤣
EDIT: I saw this in Manchester in 1989 (IIRC) with Jon Pertwee! ... Eeek, that's 34 years ago! ... Where does the TIME go? It's all RELATIVE I suppose? This video adds new DIMENSIONS to my memory! At my age, my my memory is running low on SPACE!
OH NOW THAT'S UNEXPECTED!
Well, this is my bank holiday sorted! 😂
It wasn't a camcorder. It was a full size VHS recorder, hired from a rental shop...
Unfortunately the second attempt at recording Baker was foiled when the camera was spotted and the tape confiscated during the half time interval, otherwise there would be one Pertwee and two Baker's in existence.
I believe one other person made a video recording of one of the shows, but that's incomplete.
I’d love to find out more about this
your a gem!
It's a piece of video art
It was nice to see you at Lords of time six I think I was sitting so close to you with your 3 friends
And I was sitting closer to Sophie on the number five Seat
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!!
Where’s the David Banks version
the one performance he did as the doctor
