Lost since its premiere on the BBC 50 years ago, this six-part Classic Doctor Who story has been meticulously animated based on the original audio recordings! One of the most celebrated Classic adventures, features the regeneration (or as it was called at the time "renewal") of First Doctor William Hartnell into Second Doctor Patrick Troughton. The Doctor and his companions Polly and Ben battle the Daleks, his oldest and most dreaded foe, on the planet Vulcan.
DVD, NTSC, region 1, 16:9 anamorphic; Dolby Digital 5.1.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Classic Who submitted by KimB on August 27, 2020, 10:26am Although it will always be disappointing that we cannot watch the original lost episodes, the animation was an acceptable replacement. Unlike many of the other restored episodes, this one did not switch to live action at any point. (I dare say I preferred it, it was easier to follow the story.)
But I don't feel that I can review the story itself. Classic Who is, to me, a fixed point. It's neither good nor bad, it just is. That said, this was an engaging story and the whole family (toddler, teen, adult) enjoyed it.
