Doctor Who fans know that the BBC destroyed early Doctor Who episodes. The sci-fi series is so old it comes from a time in which no one thought to preserve things. It sounds like madness today.
The Power of the Daleks is one such collection of Doctor Who stories. Until now it was gone entirely; that’s the whole third serial of the fourth season of Doctor Who. It started Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor.
The BBC have gone to some unusual methods to bring The Power of the Daleks back. They’re digitally remastered the audio and used animation to fill in the gaps. The two are then carefully synchronized.
The result? You can now watch the first ever regenerated Doctor go up against the still young Daleks. In colour.
The Power of the Daleks is available from the BBC Store. This no longer means buying DVDs; this means streaming from anywhere.
