Most Famous Lost Doctor Who Episode Returns… As Animation

by Susana Polo | 1:18 pm, March 12th, 2013


One of the only bits of footage we still have of the final installment of the Doctor Who serial “The Tenth Planet” is of the First Doctor’s regeneration into the Second. That’s kind of crazy, because one, it’s the debut of the Cybermen, two, it’s the episode that introduced the idea that the Doctor can regenerate, which means that, three, it’s the final episode of the First Doctor, played by William Hartnell. No one’s really sure what’s happened to the BBC’s prints of the show, but the studio doesn’t have a print of it fit for broadcast. Planet 55 Studios, however, is creating an animated version of the final episode for the DVD release of “The Tenth Planet.” This is but a preview.

    I hate to say it, but it looks like a low quality 80′s anime.

    Ha, I was just saying to my wife last week, “Ya know they still had a lot of the audio from these last episodes, why don’t they just animate them?”

    Glad to see these animated eps are continuing to be made, for filling out the story arcs. Kind of wish they’d do/redo all the First Two Docs this way.
