Are we going to see more of these comparisons? They’re brilliant! *WE WILL GET OUR POWER!*

The worst thing to me is that the animation leaves the best scene out. That's where the Doctor and companions lie down amongst the dead bodies in the corridor, and pretend to be dead, as a Dalek inspects the bodies for signs of life, its eye stalk going from corpse to corpse, ready to blast away at any movement. Truly terrifying to a seven year old, I can tell you.

The BBC needs to make an animation of Evil Of The Daleks, the final Dalek rebellion battle would be insane to see!

BBC: I have orders to destroy those master tapes The fan who Is disguised as an employee: But I am the examiner, I am here to examiner

I like the fact that the BBC is doing animated episodes to fill the gaps, but, I wish they would spend a little money and get better quality animation. This seems, IMHO, to be cheap half measures.

the animation I feel doesn't match the same feel of the surviving clips. They're also pretty choppy. I hope it gets done again one day.

I saw this story as it was originally broadcast in Australia in 1966. I was living in Newcastle( NSW) at the time and was 5 years old. I did not hide behind the sofa; I hid behind the kitchen door, which was in turn behind the sofa and peered occasionally around the corner despite myself. This story and The Moonbase remain seminal for me in regards to Dr Who. I had seen the final two or three Hartnell stories, including of course the Tenth Planet, but it's these early Troughton stories that are imprinted upon me.

I legit reckon Singapore has heaps of Who and no one knows where.

Love the videos! Just a slight correction about the 35mm film. Although episodes like Power 6, Wheel 6, and Space Pirates 2 were recorded to that format, they were still 625 line SD signals from the cameras, just using a different storage medium from tape. So none of them can be represented in HD. But for the ones that survive, at least they are master recordings, and not telerecordings where 16mm cameras were pointed at TV screens, like the other surviving 60's episodes. Still cruel that Power 6 is not among the survivors, of course.

I've heard a lot of comments on poor animation, but I think they have done a decent job on the majority of animations so far. As someone who isn't interested in reconstructions, this is the only way I will get to see these lost episodes and stories, unless they miraculously find them.

I took my family to watch Power of the Daleks in the cinema - they had a one-off showing that I managed to get tickets to. Apropos of nothing, back in the late 90's, I was friends with a fellow Aussie who did classic DW reconstructions under the name Change of Identity (taken, of course, from the episode of the same name in The Reign of Terror). He did excellent reconstructions and I still have VHS copies of The Savages, The Power of the Daleks, The Moonbase and The Enemy of the World. Ironically, the missing five episodes of The Enemy of the World was discovered intact in a television relay station storage room in Nigeria, so the reconstruction is now rendered moot, but it's still an interesting watch. He did very thorough work, so all the clips from Power are included in his reconstruction. I've often wondered if there was a way to transfer VHS to digital, but I've tried several different ways without success. :-(

8:52 Don’t worry dude, I like The Underwater Menace as well.

Some of the ideas from the draft scripts sound really interesting in particular the reference to Susan would've been cool, and don't worry you're not the only one who likes The Underwater Menace, hopefully one day the missing episodes from that will be found or at the very least we'll get a proper animation of them. Great video as always dude.

Would be better if the animation wasn't so stiff. I too wish the BBC didn't go with 100% videotape.

Even back in the Troughton era people complained about changes and made cocksure claims that it would result in the end of the show, yet the show is still incredibly successfull. The more things change the more they stay the same, am I right? This is why I don't take anyone who says that Chris Chibnall (and Jodie Whitakers doctor) will be 'the death of doctor who' seriously.

Will there be a triple comparison after the Special Edition is released?

I remember watching this animation for the first time and thinking: "The Daleks eye zooming in like that is so unrealistic. They would never have done that in the orginal" and then seeing that the real footage is even better and creepier made fall in love with 60s Doctor Who even more. And another thing! Would be cool if you would discuss The invasion animation and its history (and maybe why it took them 6 years to do another) or the Ice Warriors and maybe have a rant about how bad it is!

Yet another great review Josh !! 😊I love how close this is to the telesnaps !! And it’s a great story ! Shame it no longer exists in the BBC archives 😢😢

Thanks Josh, I was having a genuinely crappy, CRAPPY day today at work, then, on a quick break, I checked my KZfaq subs and saw this!! Thanks; some of my favourite things; Doctor Who, Daleks and your great vids. You are on peak form with this one, you genuinely made me laugh. Thanks, Jon.

another brilliant, professional video, well done Josh.

i love that you look at things going on in the era when these episodes aired - there is so much lost in time!!

I love how you add humor, it’s very important ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love your videos

Hi All. Could someone explain what 'telesnaps' are and what purpose they served?..many thanks!!

Love this story as the Daleks come across so cold and calculating compared too the Daleks in later stories and defo in NuWho. lol

As you brought it up in this one, The Invasion would be pretty good to do next. The Cosgrove Hall situation etc. Thanks for putting so much effort into these, Josh

I find it interesting that even in the 60's people moaned about the Doctor changing. As for what I want to see compared next? What if you compared The Ice Warriors 2 & 3 to their reconstructed counterparts?

Fantastic video as always. I wish I had a large enough disposable income to hire a translator and head to Singapore to see if I can dig anything up. Recovering all the lost episodes of Broomstick Cottage is my proudest media preservation moment, but man, what an achievement finding some lost Who would be...

Screw 'storm area 51', let's storm Singapore and take back the missing episodes that are rightfully ours!

THE MOONBASE!!!!! IT'S THE BEST CYBERMAN STORY AND DESERVES PRAISE

Yet again brilliant!

I always thought that the additional faces in the Brain of Morbius were just Morbius’ prior regenerations. I never saw it any other way!

This is now one of my favorites

So the “something else more terrible - something I can only half remember” is a stand-in for the whole, I’m not sure if they destroyed my home planet or not cos me and Susan ran away line. It’s kinda funky to think that some prominent Who writers were already figuring the Daleks into the grander mythos of the show and sort of revising the fact that he seems to meet them for the first time in The Daleks. Anyways that little comment about the absolute CLOWNERY, TOMFOOLERY AND RIGGOURY (sp?) of Pat Troughton could well be a quote from some KZfaq rantsona today 😅 it’d do well with the algorithm!! Great video as always

Do you plan to do a comparison vid for Faceless Ones and Fury from the Deep!?

It always bothered me how Troughton is blatantly wearing different clothes from moment he regenerated, with Hartnell's cape just thrown on over the top.

Excellent as always! Could you also do the colour version?

Another great video.. I'd love to see The Tenth Planet next please.. I quite like Power of the Daleks and I've seen at least seven different recons of it including this animation. (COI, Loose Cannon, Richard Devlyn, Richard Landen, David Spornoff, 2xBBC versions).

😊 Ah, Patrick Troughton is my Fave! Also his was the first Doctor I ever watched.

Do you think you can do a comparison of fury from the deep and the faceless ones animations any time soon

I always loved the daleks going through the corridor so scary

Again well done

This is my favorite second doctor who story

I hope you'll do more of the comparing videos and I hope in the future they're will be Evil Of The Daleks

The first 2nd Doctor story I saw as a child was the old VHS Unedited "Movie" of "The Seeds of Death." It only had the opening theme on episode 1 and the closing credits on episode 6. I remember when they stopped doing this and panicked when they did it in episodes. I thought I only had 2 episodes on a VHS. days before internet lol......good times. My fav Doctors are 2nd, 6th (earliest memories is the final season of 5th) grew up with 6th. And of course the only man who IS the Doctor...Jon Pertwee!!! he has a song to say so lol.

Thank you!

Will you do a new comparison video for the new animation?

Great video as always! I think you should compare The moonbase next.

10:17 It's both brilliant and silly that the animation went to the trouble of recreating the cameraman tripping up. 12:30 Unfortunately though, it was recorded onto film from the video cameras' output, so it would be true HD footage of an SD monitor playing the episode. It would still look and sound much better than the majority of the 60s episodes. Another great thing about the animation was hearing those dalek chants from episode 5/6 in 5.1!

I give the animation team credit they did fantastic job doing all this job, The Daleks are of course the best part, They got the movement of the Daleks right.

great video

I love the underwater menace too!

It did air on BBC America in black and white

I mean Power of the Daleks is pretty damn amazing

8:31 the Underwater Menace? I could've sworn I remember a certain group of Pirates from Space...

9:03 not ignoring it anymore

The first time I saw well here this episode was the full audio CD with descriptions which listening to it at night had a very creepy feel to the story the animated story was good

What was blue peter, I heard of it a lot, but does not know what it is

i just realised that i am not subscribed. i don't know how i never realised that +1sub

I love love love The Power of the Daleks, it's such s cracking story and probably the best of the Dalek stories. 👍😎

Have you compared the Invasion yet? I feel like that would be a good one to look at, since it was the first one to be animated

Would be interesting to compare this to the new version that’s coming out

I personally don't really like the animation, I watched the power of the Daleks the other day and opted out of watching the official release and instead watched the loose cannon version. It is a brilliant story but something I noticed is that much like the myth makers there is an 8mm clip of the Doctor saying "are you coming or are you not?" And he puts a hat on his head but this is not from the first scene in the TARDIS it's actually from later in the Mercury swamps because you can tell from the background, I think he actually says "come on you two" Also great video by the way! Would you ever consider doing some missing episode videos in the style of your missing episode series but this time you look at episodes like enemy of the world or tomb of the cybermen, ones that were missing for a while but were eventually recovered? I suppose it might not work as well...

I laughed when you said OKAI! Great comparison here

Anyone else notice a character magically appear at 1:42?

Wher is this animation I can't find it

Great video:) Can you compare "The Invasion" next please?

:All of the daleks WE WILL GET OUR POWER WE WILL GET OUR POWER

now we need a 1966-2016-2020

This animation is good! I'd say it'd be a 9/10, I don't really like how they widened the screen to 16:9, it doesn't match with some of the other episodes, like if you're watching the show and it's 4:3, then it's all of a sudden 16:9. Also I didn't expect how at 1:07 the animated doctor matched with the background doctors legs lol😂.

I kinda wish they did some sort of hybrid episodes with both animation and the recovered 8mm/16mm clips. Just to fill in the blanks. Kinda like what they is with The Animated Shada.

One of my all time favourite Daley stories.

Watching this, I'm wondering if the daleks would be edible. Been toying around with the idea of Sixie taking in an androgum tween who acts like a typical kawaii little girl, but she loves to eat, has no concept of danger (and is a danger to herself and others) and she thinks daleks might be tasty. Been imagining her cracking open a dalek while yelling "Cream filling! Cream filling!" without any guile at all, and then taking out the tentacled thing and whacking it over and over with a rock - while it's still alive... all as if she's struggling to open a jar.

I remember going to the BBC Shop to buy the cassette tapes of this one. I was on a, get everything Dalek I could binge. Apart from Tom I couldn’t make head nor tail of what was going on. To my ears the sound was really bad. I had to keep stopping and rewinding to listen to bits again and again. It’s a miracle the tapes didn’t get eaten by the machine 😁

Seeing those blurry clips and tele-snaps, it brings it all back to me. I was lucky enough to watch The Power of the Daleks when it aired live in 1966. (I was aged 5). I can actually recall a few moments - especially the first regeneration of the Doctor. The animations look OK. But for me, alas, (having seen the original), I don't think I'd ever be able to watch the animated version. It's just not the same! I hope they find the real thing one day.

i enjoyed the fact, that you know what you're talking about, for a change here.

If you could go back in time to the 60s and save 5 stories in there entirety (any 5 stories does not have too be in one season) Mine are Evil Of The Daleks, Power Of The Daleks, Toymaker, dalek masterplan and The Tenth planet

This serial is the one serial that I'd love to return. It is the pinnacle of Classic Who!

Can't wait to see the Special edition with improved animation

Would have liked to have had a mention of some of the different *versions* of this animated feature. There were some animation and character model differences between the aired US/UK versions and the later home video releases. It was annoying, I think the more final fixed versions *weren't* the one released on home video.

Episode 1 0:00 Episode 2 2:56 Episode 3 5:31 Episode 4 7:40 Episode 5 9:48 Episode 6 12:29

I own the color version and despite the fact i enjoyed the story, I wish it was in black and white. More atmospheric

Can you discuss part one of The Invasion? I am curious as to why Wendy Padbury is wearing the wrong costume in this episode. I often wonder if it was a genuine mistake, yet there is plenty of supporting material (not least) from the extant episodes to have got this correct.

I feel like we were spoilt by Macra Terror It was finally getting to look like a proper animation, and then... 8 don't even know what happened, but faceless ones felt like a huge step back

There were gonna show previous incarnations, they ignored it and did it in the brain of Morbius which people ignored but in 2020...

I have this one on blue ray it’s really good if u enjoy classic who if u like new who u might get bored

There's another small nuance, in regard to variant edits of the animation, in that a movie version was produced for theatrical release. That's version I first saw; I kept waiting for the first cliffhanger, and thinking, wait, shouldn't it be _there_? No? Maybe I was misremembering?

Would your disappearing DVD joke constitute a "Lost, Lost Episode?" :-)I thought that Robert James was superb as Lesterson. So blinded by what he is doing that he fails to see just how dangerous the Daleks are. Watching him descend into madness is chilling and it is just so appropriate that his final line is "I am your servant"...Great analysis as always!

I think it would be interesting to compare The Reign of Terror animation to the reconstruction, as I always thought The Reign of Terror's animation was the worst of the animated episodes due to so many awkward jump cuts.

Though I greatly enjoyed the animation, you do highlight some of the issues with the first episode -, particularly around the inconsistencies withTroughton's animated rendering. Clearly, attempts were made to closely match the post-regeneration depiction of the actor with the 8mm film, but it just ends up jarring with the rendering used for the remainder of the serial. Character movements are also at their weakest here and that's not even mentioning the clothing error. Hopefully, this particular episode will be tidied up a bit for the inevitable Season 4 Bluray boxset.

i would like to see a comparing of the reign of terror or the ice warriors

Interesting video. I know it would be asking a lot but it would be nice to have a consistent animated version of Polly. This one is not too bad but the version in Macra Terror is nothing like her facially.

The animation with the Daleks are pretty good, but the human part reminds me too much of the Archer cartoon series where I'd be expecting Pam Poovey to make an appearance.

An American making his way through classic Doctor Who for the first time here. Re: The Brain of Morbius- I presumed the never-before-seen regenerations were those of Morbius. Is that a valid interpretation? Thanks for posting these videos. You're so knowledgeable about the show, you should be called Professor Who. :)

Not gonna lie, I appreciate the amount of effort put into these animated reconstructions and I love your comparison videos but....I kind of prefer the loose canon reconstructions. The quality of the sound in these 60s stories is poor compared to later episodes, and it becomes jarring to watch the high quality animation over the audio from the episodes- they just don't synch in my mind. Not to mention as great as the animation is it always looks a bit stilted to me (the one exception of this being the recent Macra Terror release). I appreciate the work and Im glad they're doing this since other fans love them but I do still prefer the telesnaps. With that said I'd LOVE a fully animated version of Marco Polo or Fury From the Deep.

Quality content, 1000 reznos out of ten

One would think the BBC would animate Evil of the Daleks rather than Master Plan. To have all missing 60's Daleks and Cybermen animated is the ultimate quest!

I love the video tape look! - film isn’t the be all and end all 😂

I watched it a while ago and i though it was brilliant
