OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Doctor Who: Evil of the Daleks’ will be released on September 27.
BBC Studios has announced details for the upcoming new animation, which stars Patrick Troughton as the Time Lord.
The series is the “mostly-missing ninth and final serial of the fourth season” of ‘Doctor Who’, which was originally broadcaster in seven weekly editions in 1967.
In a press release, the Beeb said: “Following the success of the existing animations, ‘The Evil of the Daleks’ fills another gap in the missing ‘Doctor Who’ content lost in the purge of the BBC archive soon after the programme’s original transmission.
“However, audio-only recordings of all seven episodes have survived and have been used here to create a brand new fully animated presentation of this lost classic, featuring the original surviving second episode.”
Patrick stars as the Doctor alongside companion Jamie (Frazer Hines) in the recreation, which sees the TARDIS stolen.
The duo have to find the missing time machine, which brings them face to face with the Daleks.
The Doctor’s enemy have a plan to conquer the universe, and they force the Time Lord to help them “humanise” themselves into living weapons.
AnneMarie Walsh – Director of the 2021 production – said: “It’s been a privilege to work on this fantastic story with such a brilliant team – thanks to the fans for supporting our work, I hope you all enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it!”
The story also introduces new companion Victoria Waterfield (Deborah Watling), who was first seen in the surviving second episode.
The animated release – which will be available on DVD, Blue-ray and Limited Edition Blu-ray Steelbook – features three discs and will let fans experience the series in colour or black and white.
The remastered second episode will be included as well as the Telesnap Reconstructions (six episodes) and audio commentaries, plus an audiobook with recorded commentary by Tom Baker.
Also in the collection will be a photo gallery and ‘Making Of’ feature.
