Anyway, please try again now.

And there's a lot to choose from. In addition to our regular presenting team of Richard, Paul, Giles and Simon, we had a lot of guests this year, including Tim Burrows from The Missing Episodes podcast on our 10th anniversary discussion of the Omnirumour. We chatted to an actual Doctor Who writer in Matthew Jacobs, along with Vanessa Yuille, who together made the wonderful fan film Doctor Who Am I? Both Matthew and Vanessa were almost upstaged by a pneumatic drill, but saw the funny side. We spoke with Steve Manfred about his friendship and collaboration with writer Neil Gaiman. Elizabeth Morton spoke with us about her family connections to Doctor Who, as well as her writing career. And Benjamin Cook, Rich Tipple and Timothy K Brown discussed their work on colourising the first Dalek story for the 60th anniversary. Simon Guerrier joined us to chat about The Rescue and The Eleventh Hour, while providing lots of insight from his research into writer and story editor David Whitaker. We hope you enjoy these clips and, if you do, please peruse our back catalogue for the full versions of all of these items and perhaps you'd like to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or similar platform. The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

The first massive historical of Doctor Who! Too bad the episodes have been lost. Luckily, we still have the audio! In part one (of two) we delve into the time when Italian explorer Marco Polo is on the Silk Road to the Khan, but this time, with an impressive machine in his grasp. With the TARDIS team forcibly in tow, they make their way through imperial Cathay with the famous explorer.Useful links:TARDIS Wiki: https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Marco_Polo_(TV_story) BBC Photo Archive: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01105pm/p011034p rJosh Snares Documentary on Missing Episodes: https://youtu.be/Ei2XqlGWybQ Mr Tardis Review: https://youtu.be/Tch5Q7Gf938 Episode Transcript (coming soon!)Dailymotion Playlist for EpisodesBecome a Producer on PatreonBig Finish Recommendation:Doctor Who Unbound: A Storm of Angels Hosted on Acast.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV it's Week 3 of the Doctor Who 60th anniversary celebration!   First, by the mid 1980s, Doctor Who had emerged as one of the BBC's longest-running brands, but even then it was getting long in the tooth. In 1986, they tried something big - a season-long arc, resulting in “The Trial of a Time Lord”. Will the Doctor be brought to justice? Will audiences be brought to watch?   Then, "Doctor Who" has had a storied history these past 60 years, but thanks to the economics of television at the time, it - much like that of any TV show at the time - is sketchy at best. But recently, the BBC has ramped up efforts to find and restore episodes long lost to tape wiping by any means necessary. We look at how this piece of TV history is being preserved and what is still missing media.   Follow us at all our socials via our Linktree page at linktr.ee/itwasathingontv    Timestamps 0:11 - Correction from Episode 424 2:02 - Doctor Who: The Trial of a Time Lord 50:27 - The Missing Episodes of Doctor Who 1:25:02 - This Week in Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour History

They are saved by the scientist Zaroff, but it quickly becomes clear his plans for Atlantis will be earthshattering.A serial that has a lot of potential it never quite realizes, but still an entertaining ride with some great moments and ideas.  ZAROFF: Bang! Bang! Bang, bang! That's all.DOCTOR: Yes. Just one small question. Why do you want to blow up the world?ZAROFF: Why? You, a scientist, ask me why? The achievement, my dear Doctor. The destruction of the world. The scientists' dream of supreme power!_____DAMON: Any sign of the Doctor?ARA: No. He must have died saving us.THOUS: We'll raise a stone to him in the temple.DAMON: No. No more temples. It was temples and priests and superstition that made us follow Zaroff in the first place. When the water's found it's own level, the temple will be buried forever. We shall never return to it. But we will have enough left to build a new Atlantis, without gods and without fish people.THOUS: Yes. That shall be his memorial.Upcoming:"The Moonbase"Episodes 1 & 3 are missing, but have been animatedTeam TARDIS lands on the Moon, where humans control the weather, but a strange virus is making everyone sick, and something is lurking just in the shadows....Monday, May 14th (returning to our regular weekly schedule after end-of-semester insanity)Special thanks to Cathlyn "Happigal" Driscoll for providing the beautiful artwork for this podcast.

After the Battle of Cullouden, the Scottish Highlanders who fought for Bonnie Prince Charlie are desperately seeking safety as the English brutally butcher the "traitors." When the Doctor, Ben, and Polly meet up with Jamie McCrimmon and his "Laird," they soon find themselves attempting to escape the English redcoats trying to hang them or sell them into indentured servitude. One of the funniest of the historicals, the Second Doctor impersonates a German doctor (with a terrible accent) and a Granny while tricking would-be slave traders. Polly blackmails a soldier. Even Ben gets to play "Houdini." Note: I do give a bit of an overview of the history that led to the Battle of Cullouden. If you are already familiar, you can skip over to 28:22 where I hop into the serial itself.Obviously this historical overview is broad strokes; there are a lot of complicated situations that led up to the Jacobite uprisings--this is a simplistic overview.POLLY: What about Jamie? We can't leave him here.DOCTOR: True. His ship's sailed.POLLY: What will you do?JAMIE: Oh, I'll be all right. They won't catch me.BEN: Did you hear that! They'll catch us all if we don't move fast.POLLY: Doctor, can we take him with us?DOCTOR: If he teaches me to play the bagpipes.Upcoming:"The Underwater Menace"Episodes 1 & 4 are missing.

The Daleks are mobile and they are getting their power....at any cost. Enter a scheming would-be dictator, kidnapping, blackmail, false imprisonment, a mad scientist, and some very annoying recorder music. The newly-regenerated Doctor must think quickly to save the people of Vulcan. In short, David Whittaker (the writer) is a genius.  DALEK: Why do human beings kill human beings?BRAGEN: Get on with your work.DALEK: Yes, master. I obey.BRAGEN: Yes, obey me! From now on, I'll have complete obedience from everyone!LESTERSON: Ah, I tried to turn the power off, but they were miles ahead of me. Marvelous creatures. You have to admire them.BEN: But we've got to stop them!LESTERSON: Oh, it's too late for that. They're the new species, you see, taking over from homo sapiens. Man's had his day. Finished now....All we can do is marvel at the creatures who are taking our place.Upcoming:"The Highlanders"Team TARDIS lands in the middle of the Jacobite uprising and quickly befriend a group of Scotsman loyal to "the Young Pretender."  But the Redcoats are ruthless in punishing those who rebel.... 4 episodes, all missing:-(Monday, April 10thSpecial thanks to Cathlyn "Happigal" Driscoll for providing the beautiful artwork for this podcast.

This one is about Missing Episodes - not a definitive history but rather a series of personal thoughts and experiences. If you want proper detective work I'd go to the Missing Episodes podcast which is excellent. This is more about how the absence of some of Doctor Who episodes adds, or takes away, from our experience of the show. It's quite long, sorry - it's a subject your host is rather passionate about.

In the far distant future there exists an almost perfect civilization with wealth, knowledge, and great scientific advancements. They have tracked the Doctor's progress through time and space and eagerly await his predicted arrival.... but how have they achieved such greatness? And who are the Savages who lurk beyond the City walls?AKA Doctor Who does another allegory on why capitalism is bad. _____JANO: How can you condemn this great artistic and scientific civilization because of a few wretched barbarians?_____________________________________________________DOCTOR: Indeed I am going to oppose you, just in the same way that I oppose the Daleks or any other menace to common humanity.JANO: I am sorry you take this attitude, Doctor. It is most unscientific. You are standing in the way of human progress.DOCTOR: Human progress, sir? How dare you call your treatment of these people progress!JANO: They are hardly people, Doctor. They are not like us.DOCTOR: I fail to see the difference.JANO: Do you not realise that all progress is based on exploitation?DOCTOR: Exploitation indeed! This, sir, is protracted murder!JANO: We have achieved a very great deal merely by the sacrifice of a few savages.DOCTOR: The sacrifice of even one soul is far too great! You must put an end to this inhuman practice.___________JANO: You will find what I going to say very difficult to understand. All the Elders of our city are here, and so is the source of our supremacy on this planet. No man easily gives up the means which give him power.SENTA: I don't understand you, Jano.JANO: That is what I am asking you to do. I want you to destroy all this.SENTA: What? The laboratory? The generators?JANO: All the machinery which we have used to destroy our fellows.SENTA: They are not our fellows, Jano. They are the savages. They are not capable of development like us.JANO: How do you know?___________________________________________DOCTOR: Just think of the challenge to be able to set up the people of this planet for a new life. You're quite ready for this task.STEVEN: You think I can do it?DOCTOR: Yes, I do. And you're the only man who can, my boy.Upcoming:Celebrating Companions: Steven TaylorTaking a moment to celebrate one of Classic Who's most underrated gems: Steven Taylor!  The man who escaped a Mechanoid City and nearly died for a teddy bear who goes on to become a leader uniting Elders and Savages. Noble, headstrong, a tad  immature, and a more than a bit silly, Steven deserves more love y'all. Monday, December 5thSpecial thanks to Cathlyn "Happigal" Driscoll for providing the beautiful artwork for this podcast.

New Year Special! Stephen and I ring in 2022 with Tim Burrows from the Missing Episodes podcast and digital artist Anthony Lamb. We pick apart Doctor Who's first new year themed episode, Volcano from 1st January 1966, and we have an in-depth discussion about the chances of finding any more episode from The Daleks Master Plan. Plus other important stuff like: Is Anthony Hitler's son and what is the pronunciation of "italics"?

It's a bonus episode of Watchers in the Fourth Dimension! Recorded as a LIVE panel in conjunction with DragonCon's Brittrack for DragonCon Goes Virtual 2021, we bring you our discussion on Doctor Who: The Early Years - a beginners' guide to the first two Doctors, broken up into six episodes, much like many of the serials of the 1960s: Episode 1: The Quest for Time – we discuss how New Series fans can discover the Classic Series, and some of the entry points into it. Episode 2: The Changing Face of _______ – the Watchers sum up the personalities of first two Doctors and compare them to their modern successors. Episode 3: The Children of Time – our panel discusses the role of the companions in early Doctor Who, how that role changes through the years, and once again, compares them to their modern successors. Episode 4: The Evolution of the Daleks – it wouldn't be Doctor Who without his greatest enemies! We look at their early appearances and discuss the phenomenon that was Dalekmania. Episode 5: The Emergence of the Cybermen – with the Daleks being phased out, the show turned to a secondary “dominant” race of monsters. In this segment, we look back on their early appearances, and how the earliest Cybermen were brought back in the modern era. Episode 6: The Recommendations of Rassilon – finally, we all provide some recommendations of highlights of the first two Doctors for newbies to the black & white era of Doctor.   Links to things mentioned in this episode: Original video version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/Yk5-MpEbQho  The BritTrack's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBritTrackatDragonCon Our DragonCon 2020 panel on Missing Episodes: https://youtu.be/gBUvs6-m0WA UCLAN's Mission to the Unknown Remount: https://youtu.be/NW8yk-m5Ig8   As usual, you can also follow us and interact with us on our social media accounts - Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Richard, Paul, Giles and Tim give the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon their best shot, before looking at another pair of historical stories - 1st Doctor story The Gunfighters and 11th Doctor outing A Town Called Mercy, both set in the American West. Then we're interrupted by a rather familiar voice who's getting rather exercised by the lack of historical authenticity.

Episode 92 - 2020 was a year like no other, and in this episode we are again joined by Aron Challinger, proprietor of Aron's Collectibles, to discuss the impact COVID 19 had on Doctor Who merchandising, particularly from a new series perspective. We find out what has (and what hasn't!) been flying off the shelves. We ponder the question: are manufacturers delaying new releases until changes are made to the series AND do fans really need to sell a kidney to own a complete set of Doctor Who WH Allen Hardbacks? All this plus is there any hope the situation will improve for the 60th anniversary? And once again, because Rob needs that Missing Episodes fix and we again venture down that rabbit hole to chew over the idea that the only way to reignite interest in the current series is the return missing story or three (*cough Marco Polo *cough)

Type 40 • A Doctor Who Podcast Episode 70: Missing Episodes with Richard Molesworth It’s a reality that haunts Doctor Who fans: how large quantities of the series earliest episodes officially no longer exist.

And he’s our guest on the latest edition of Type 40 for an exclusive, erudite and candid interview. With his old mate Simon Horton and regular host Dan Hadley. Several years have passed since the last lost episodes found their way back to the archives and onto DVD. Yet rumours of new finds and twists and turns to this tale persist, as always!

Welcome to our second Something Who Live Show, with host Richard, Big Finish writer and Missing Episodes podcast star, Paul, and noted astrophysics author and our own Dr Science, Giles. We reprise a more spontaneous format that riffs on our remit of comparing stories from the old and new series, with a bit of a Christmas spin. The actual live show on YouTube had its technical problems, but here's the audio, recorded at source. Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com Even on the live show, the opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 (with jingle bells) and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

With many conventions forced to go virtual in 2020, we were invited to participated in a panel for DragonCon, in which we discussed Doctor Who’s Missing Episodes. The result is this special bonus episode, in which we are joined by our old friend R. Alan Siler, and the Director of Dragon Con’s British Media Track (aka the “Brittrack”), Caro McCully Tidwell. If you would prefer to watch the panel, rather than listen, it can also be found on the Brittrack’s YouTube page.   As you would expect from such a discussion, the group discusses why Doctor Who has missing episodes, where any surviving episodes could possibly be hiding (and the chances of anything else showing up), as well as the various attempts over the years to bridge the gaps. And, naturally, a missing episodes discussion just isn’t complete without a discussion on most wanted stories for return.   As usual, you can also follow us and interact with us on our social media accounts - Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You can also e-mail us at watchers4d@gmail.com. If you’re enjoying this podcast, please subscribe to the show, and leave us a rating or review.

The Missing Episodes Podcast is back, for more Doctor Who lacunae! This time Paul and Tim examine The Reign of Terror: an important story in the evolution of the Who Historical, with its funny bits and less didactic tone - but is it any good? It's certainly incomplete, and Greg Bakun from Kaleidoscope and From the Archive joins in to discuss the animation of the two missing episodes. Greg gives great insight into the animation process and talks about what might have been! There's also as thorough a probing of overseas sales, mysterious private collectors and dusty foreign archives as anyone could want! Come join our secret rendezvous at the Chien Gris (*NB possibly the Sinking Ship) for all this, plus bonus references to horse droppings, Tony Hart and CGI cat bottoms. Greg's blog can be found at www.from-the-archive.co.uk For those bored of Paul and Tim, Greg joins the conversation at 37 minutes and the Missing Episodes talk of dusty archives and private collectors starts at 1 hour, 18 minutes.

Thanks to Giles, who introduced me to Jeremy Bentham, a very familiar name for Doctor Who fans, particularly of my generation. Jeremy and I chat about the early days of fandom, his part in the formation of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society, his work as a writer on Doctor Who Weekly and Doctor Who Monthly and his book Doctor Who - The Early Years. We also discuss his involvement in social events, such as conventions, the First Thursday Fitzroy Tavern evenings where Giles introduced us, and the launch party fan events he organised for the New Series.

Here's Something Who, Episode 20, and this time Richard talks with Steven Schapansky about Missing Episodes because... well, in the circumstances, it would have been rude not to.Steven, co-host of Radio Free Skaro, is a fellow Missing Episodes obsessive and the conversation covers the whole gamut from how we discovered that some Doctor Who episodes were missing, the recovery of stories in the 80s and 90s, the discovery of telesnaps and off air recordings, leading to audio releases, fan reconstructions and animations, the hunt for the remaining films and, inevitably, the Omnirumour.Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it.

Readers' letters, a Competition, and a Little Special Something...

In Toby's ongoing celebration of Doctor Who's 50th anniversary we go back to 1967 to talk to the man who made the series a little shellfish for a while...

A triumphant return to the Big Finish podcasts for Toby Hadoke as he continues on his epic Doctor Who 50th Anniversary project. Today? The Son of Doctor Who!

Statspocalypse! Yes, in a moment that Warren has feared since the inception of Radio Free Skaro, the 50th Anniversary generated stats to such a degree that they may have become sentient and declared war on humanity. And despite Warren’s hatred of the Devil Numbers, Radio Free Skaro gave you, the listener, comprehensive coverage of viewing figures, iPlayer requests, and other such pointless spreadsheetery. But it wasn’t all stats (thankfully)! News of Other Doctor dollies, in-depth articles on 3D and the Radiophonic Workshop and more besides peppered the news list, leading up to the main event, the Missing Episodes panel from Chicago TARDIS, featuring Ed Stradling and Dan Hall of the DVD range and our own Steven as moderator. Note to Gallifrey Base users: Try not to divine rumour and nonsense from the facts and statements of truth in said panel. That is all. Thank you and good day! (puts on bowler hat, storms off stage left) Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com

A self indulgent episode this week, hope you can forgive me for the change of format but three weeks ago we waved goodbye to David Keep of the DWO Whocast, he's off to America to start married life with Elizabeth. Three weeks ago we gathered in a pub, there was food, much chat a little drink and emotional goodbyes to a great guy. Before all that we draw a line under the recent missing episode rumours(someone tell me never to cover this again it's a minefield!) Next week we'll return to Gallifrey One coverage with the Missing Episodes panel in which you can hear the real story from people who know the truth not the endless fan rumours. But this week is all about Dave, there's even some audio surprises in there for the old fella. Photos of the pub gathering can be seen here http://www.flickr.com/photos/tdrury/sets/72157633881420756/ You can read the blog version of this week's show here http://tdrury1.blogspot.co.uk/ If you want to send me comments or feedback you can email them to tdrury2003@yahoo.co.uk or contact me on twitter where I'm @tdrury or send me a friend request and your comments to facebook where I'm Tim Drury and look like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/tdrury/3711029536/in/set-72157621161239599/ in case you were wondering.

reprinted from wikipedia with respect and thanks Synopsis The Doctor and Sarah arrive in 1970s to find that it has been evacuated, due to the mysterious appearance of . It turns out that the dinosaurs are being brought to London via a in order to further a plan to revert London to a pre-technological level. [] Plot The Doctor and arrive in a deserted London plagued by looters and lawlessness where is assisting with maintaining martial law. The regular army, headed by General Finch, has evacuated the entire city and issues a command that any looters in London will be shot on sight. The Doctor and Sarah are soon arrested on suspicion of being looters themselves but are identified from the photographs by , who is heading up the UNIT operation, and arranges that the pair are freed to help combat the monsters that have necessitated the evacuation of London. have started appearing all over the city – but that is not all, as the Doctor comes across a medieval peasant from the days of , who disappears in a time eddy. It seems the dinosaurs have been present for several months, but nobody can account for their sudden appearance or the havoc they are causing. The British Government has been relocated to during the crisis, and the army has taken charge to ensure an orderly evacuation and to try and maintain some sort of control in the city. The dinosaur appearances are various – , , – but the creatures seem to vanish as mysteriously as they appear. The Doctor ventures out around the city with a UNIT escort, hoping to learn more of the curious phenomenon, and they encounter a Stegosaurus moments before it disappears. He starts to suspect someone is deliberately bringing the dinosaurs to London – and in a hidden laboratory a pair of scientists, Butler and Professor Whitaker, are shown operating the Timescoop technology that is making the situation possible. They are being aided by Captain from UNIT, who is revealed to be recovering from a nervous breakdown caused by the events depicted in . Mike feels the Doctor could help them achieve Operation Golden Age, but Whitaker is unconvinced, and tells Mike to sabotage the stun gun, which the Doctor is building for use on the dinosaurs. He does this, imperilling the Doctor when he encounters a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but the situation is saved and the creature is stunned and captured. Hours later, however, General Finch sets it free, evidently part of the conspiracy too. Sarah Jane has meanwhile set off to gather her own evidence and meets with Sir Charles Grover, an ecologist MP who is acting as Minister with Special Responsibilities in London. She is drugged by him and when she wakes up is astounded to find herself on a vast spaceship. The crew include Mark, Adam and Ruth, all famed British minor celebrities who have adopted new aliases and lives. They tell her they en route for a New Earth where mankind can begin again, closer to nature. They left Earth three months earlier and the ship is one of a fleet that is carrying over two hundred people to a new life. Sarah is committed to the re-education programme to enable her to think like them. The Doctor now focuses on more searches of London using his new vehicle, the Whomobile, as transport. Under he finds the base used by Whitaker and Butler, but is scared away when they use a pterodactyl to defend their lair. When he returns with the Brigadier, the signs of occupation have been removed. Operation Golden Age is revealed to be a broad conspiracy containing Whitaker, Butler, Yates, Grover and Finch as its core co-ordinators. They have emptied London to enable it to revert to a more natural state, after which the people on the spaceships (in reality they are in vast bunkers and not in space at all) will be allowed out and enabled to repopulate a clean and free planet. Whitaker also works out how to reverse time, so that soon none of humanity apart from their own chosen specimens will ever have existed. Finch tries to frame and discredit the Doctor, whom he knows will not support their plans, and the Doctor soon twigs that an over-zealous Yates is the UNIT mole. lets the Doctor escape, for which Finch threatens a court martial. The Doctor uses his freedom to track down more monsters, but when he is recaptured the Brigadier asserts his authority and takes the Doctor into UNIT custody rather than the regular army's. Sarah has meanwhile escaped from the fake spaceship having learnt its true nature, but is apprehended by Finch, who tracks her down and returns her to Whitaker's custody. While she is away Mark works out that the ship is a fake too and exposes this to the other passengers, but he is not believed. When Sarah is returned to the ship she and Mark use the fake airlock to convince Ruth and the others of the depth of the deception Shortly afterward Finch and Yates reveal their hands to the Doctor, Benton and the Brigadier, and reveal the nature of their plans. The Doctor and the Brigadier get away once more and head back to the base, evading dinosaurs en route, where they confront Grover and Whitaker. The duped environmentalists from the fake spaceship also appear, along with Sarah, and demand an explanation. In the ensuing fight Whitaker and Grover are transported back through the Timescoop to the Golden Age they sought to bring to modern Britain. Back at UNIT HQ, the Brigadier confirms to the Doctor that the crisis is over, but there are still some human casualties to deal with. Finch will face a court martial while Yates is being offered the chance to resign and given extended sick leave. The Doctor reflects that people like Grover may have had good motivations in wanting to fight pollution and environmental degradation, but they took their schemes too far and endangered all mankind and its civilisation. He decides it is time for a holiday and offers to take Sarah Jane to the holiday planet of Florana. [] Continuity This section does not any . Please help improve this section by adding citations to .

The first episode has the story title contracted to Invasion in an attempt to conceal the central plot device. However this was undermined by the BBC listings magazine who gave the full story title. In the original novelisation, no reference is made to the "Whomobile" and the Doctor uses a military motor bike with electronic scanning equipment attached to it. Malcolm Hulke protested against the use of the title Invasion of the Dinosaurs, preferring the original working title of Timescoop, and felt the contraction for the first episode was silly, especially because the Radio Times listing used the full title.

There is a longstanding fan myth that the tape of episode 1 was erased by mistake, having been confused with an episode of the Patrick Troughton serial . In reality, BBC Enterprises issued instructions to wipe all six episodes of Invasion of the Dinosaurs in August 1974, just six months after the story's transmission; for reasons unknown, however, only episode 1 was actually junked. As far as the BBC was concerned, the story had been wiped in its entirety; researchers for the 1976 documentary Whose Doctor Who found that none of the episodes was listed as existing in the BBC library. The surviving film recording of Episode 1 is the only telerecording of a Season 11 episode known to exist. A black-and-white film print exists of the film sequences from part one. This includes one scene of a scared scavenger stealing money from a dead milkman's satchel omitted from the transmitted version, this would have been part of the deserted London montage. The black-and-white prints were used as practice for the film editor to make cuts before they cut the colour negatives. Colour 35mm film sequences from Episode five also exist. Episode 3's first edit (also known in the BBC as a 71 edit) also exists, without sound effects or music on the soundtrack.

In contrast to other wiped colour episodes from the Pertwee era where the missing colour information had been inadvertently recorded on the surviving black and white film copies as a sequence of visual artifacts/dots or , in the case of Episode 1 of this story this information was found to be incomplete, and only the red and green colour signal information was recoverable, requiring the missing blue signal information to be obtained via other means. The new colour version of Episode 1 featured on the DVD thus employs approximated blue colour information, and although the outcome is not up to normal DVD quality, it gives an impression of what the episode would have looked like when originally broadcast.
