My memories of watching as a seven-year old include a filmed insert, in ep.2 I think, in which we see (from Steven’s POV) a zoom-in on Hartnell dressed in a grey robe (don’t think the hood was up, but I’m not sure as there’s a picture of a hooded Hartnell on the original cover of the Target novelisation.) Like Steven, I thought this was the Doctor disguised for some reason, so I was puzzled when the credits rolled with ‘Abbot of Amboise William Hartnell’ - in the usual font used as far back as Unearthly Child by the way! The Radio Times synopsis for the following episode stated ‘Steven thinks he has seen the Doctor…’ and that put a seed of doubt in my mind as to whether all was as it seemed. My strongest memories of the story are in the final minutes, where we saw some graphic woodcut images of people being pushed into fires, and skulls and bones in the midst of said fires, followed by Steven raging at the Doctor in the safety of the TARDIS before apparently leaving ( and an interesting shot where we see him walking through the Police Box doors beyond the control room’s inner doors, about the only time this was done!) and the Doctor sadly reminiscing about his departed companions before the film insert of Dodo running towards the camera en route to the police box … but somehow I can’t recall whether that godawful prop mash-up was clearly shown, I think I’d have noticed the state it was in!

Did Power Of The Daleks really have a "NEXT WEEK Dr. Who And The Highlanders" at the end like the loose cannon reconstruction?

I have two questions by the way, how do I listen to the doctor who off air audios? specifically the one for Space Pirates episode 2?

Clever shots they did.

I like this educational vid.

Checking this out after your recent appearance on a certain missing episode podcast. Great appearance added loads of interesting facts and tidbits

I have a question, where can I access these camera scripts?

I've got the whole, uncut thing, on a set of DVDs I bought from the BBC, decades ago.

What is the curiosity about the Tardis prop in the reign of terror I’m interested is it that the lights shine down into the sign box and widow ?

I like it how it lights up inside when landing they should bring it back

RIP William Russell

It doesn’t _look_ like they lined them up properly…

Another good one, thanks. It took a while before people worked out why the original of that photo of the TARDIS from Power of the Daleks had a hole cut out where the lamp was! Trying to think, when was the first use of Roll Back & Mix done in studio with the full size prop? Colony In Space? Curse of Peladon?

Its a damn shame its ao absent from the archives because its im my top ten 20th century Who stories.

This is really cool, I've never heard of this method before, I recall a video from a few years back which discussed all but this method which I sadly don't think is on KZfaq anymore. I think the more insight we get into how these effects were achieved, you do begin to understand many of the creative decisions, including any times the TARDIS landed off-screen or we only saw the console room. Great work as ever.

Bravo. Beautiful little video. I really look forward to your uploads. More please!

Or they can just say screw it and have the TARDIS land behind some fencing, like the start of The Massacre!

I've always been interested in the various ways they achieved TARDIS takeoffs in the classic series. It's awesome to see the inventive ways that the production teams thought of to realise the effect, and the... varying results

We really are very lucky to have every single non-missing episode restored to pretty uniformly excellent quality. God bless the Restoration Team.

I can't believe I forgot to subscribe to this channel, your content is so good. I have a little bit of catching up to do!

how did you do that

the web of fear is a fantastic story, Douglas Camfield was a great director on Doctor Who, too bad his final story was early 76 before his death in 84

smugglers is a story i feel underrated and has potential to be better if found, wasn't that keen on enemy of the world but that changed following its recovery

I had an experience like this with the Fury of the Deep animation. There is a point where Jamie is in the kitchen and the foam is surrounding him and the Doctor and Victoria come to his rescue. At one point, he says something like: "I'm in the kitchen" with the animation depicting this. However, the line sounds like it's delivered from a distance, so my theory is that, in the original version, the camera is actually not in the kitchen, but maybe in the hallway. Just a theory, though.

Thankfully the story isn’t erroneously referred to as ‘The Budgie Smugglers’

I wonder how much this one would go up in estimation if found/animated.

It's definitely unfortunate his reputation has caused this misinformation, I'm relatively sure there's a few other cases like this. Admittedly I've never noticed that anyone gets the riddle wrong. But I'm surprised those who do, have never noticed that Hartnell was consist with it, despite being thought to have gotten it wrong

underappreciated story

Justice for Bill! People are way too hard on him over line-fluffs and supposed mistakes in general. There's the absolute howlers that everyone knows about but there's also a tendency with certain smart-arsed commentators to jump on anything they can and call it a mistake. Be interesting to see today's TV thesps cope with the pressures of 1960s as-live recording.

Cool video! Thank you for sharing.

Bless The Smugglers. One of those stories, alongside The Savages, that never seems to stick in the head no matter how many times I listen to the soundtrack, read the novelisation or watch the Loose Canon reconstruction.

It speaks to what a great story Ambassadors is to me that I loved it immediately even with the awful quality of certain parts. The print that UK Gold had for episode 5 is quite similar to the one that survives for the final Adam Adamant Lives! episode. I have that some small miracles can be worked on the story for an ultimate blu-ray release🤞🏼

The background loosing colour for the unrestored sound is a nice touch.

Wow, you can’t hear much in the unrestored sound.

WOW

Grate comparison.

The njn omnibus has some wired edits.

Cool video! Thank you for sharing.

The restoration team really are miracle workers, aren't they?

A lot of Keys of Marinus is very good

Brilliant, David. I’m still learning about this brilliant story!

Perfect joy. Missing missing dialogue 😂 Another great video. Thanks

this is crazy because I was reading through the camera script of this exact episode this afternoon

Perfect timing, by chance I happened to be rewatching The Myth Makers this morning. It's a shame they cut the dialogue discussing Katarina's impending death. Although I was expecting to hear there was a more natural introduction for Katarina, as she kind of just appears in episode four. But that final line from the Doctor, that's even more of a shame. Great video as ever, keep up the good work.

They're cowards for not letting this episode be called "Is There a Doctor in the Horse?".

Truth be told, I can't tell what is omitted: the bit on the right or the left. 🫤 Still, great video. I love the Quatermass stories. 😎

(1:51) I love the "gum-chewing youth" woman in this scene. You know. Those damn stereotypical "disrespectful kids". 🤪

Wonderful… as always. Thanks

Always been fascinated by the mechanics of putting these things together. It's creativity in action.

How did you get the scripts?
