Reign of Terror- Reigning Down Now!

[Phillip Culley]

Also possible are The Faceless Ones, needs 4 of 6. (2,4,5 & 6) & Wheel in Space needs 4 of 6. (1,2,4 &5)

But if you're going to suggest them, why not include The Celestial Toymaker and The Underwater Menace since they'll only need 3 episodes animating as opposed to the 4 for Wheel and Faceless Ones?

God, I read that quickly as 'Doctor Who episodes FOUND on Central Coast'

[Simon R]

Following their released on DVD, The Reign of Terror episodes are also expected to screen on television

This is brand new information! It's not a bad idea, anything that draws attention to the missing episodes is a good idea.

[Si Hunt]

All six episodes were lost in the BBC's stock clearance of the 1970s

I'm imagining a man with a barrow hollaring "Fury from the Deep, two for a tenner, come and get yer lovely film cans!"

Si.

[Si Hunt]

It's depressing two episodes will take nine more months to complete. At that rate it'll take them about 400 years to do them all!

By which point someone will have invented time travel and gone back and got the master tapes.

I'm saying nothing!

that comment dose make me laugh "stock clearence" makes it sound like a half price sale at your local M & S.

[Stuart Wallis]

And where do you think Ian Levine got his episodes from?!

[Andrew Curnow]

Most exciting!!

[Anthony Williams]

Very exciting indeed! Can we have it now!?

[Alex Me]

Wow that is rather impressive. Though weren't all the scenes shown their from surviving episodes? I hope they can get just as good quality when they are making all the animation from scratch.

[Si Hunt]

I can't help but wish they'd not given them two such dull episodes to do. All that talent, why not start with a real cracker like "Power of the Daleks"? I do wonder if, for the second time, a top animation team will be saddled with two lost monster-less episodes to do and the resulting low sales will prevent them getting round to the good stuff!

Si.

[Dirk Gently]

I'll probably get this one on release. I get stupidly excited about this sort of thing, just like I used to when watching B&W episodes I'd never seen before. I loved The Invasion.

[Larry]

well from what I could see of it it looked good.

At the moment 2Entertain don't seem to be very interested in Recons. Although I gather that not too long ago an attempt to come to an arrangement with Loose Cannon fell through because a third party got involved.
Considering at one point 2Entertain were saying we would only get DVD releases of all the complete stories I'm quite glad Reign is having its day. I just hope that means The Ice Warriors will follow suit.

Well, Dan Hall recently said during an interview that there will definitely be "at least" one more animation, and then "hopefully more"

Given that he's normally very careful over what he says, I would assume that either The Ice Warriors or The Tenth Planet will be getting their missing episodes animated.

[Terry Leptil]

It can't be long now until these two episodes are finally ready.

At the moment, DVD producer Chris Chapman is looking for Peter Walker and Ann Earl (http://blogtorwho.blogspot.com/2011/...-you-help.html). Can anyone help him? Also, what happened to Henric Hirsch? Is he still around?

[Stuart Wallis]

All I can discover offhand is that he hasn't directed since 1973.

[Anthony Williams]

Oh my! That looks fantastic! This will be a very exciting release

Now, who wants to put money on the two missing episodes turning up a year or so after this gets released?
