The Daleks' Masterplan

D.W.Q.M.: "Have you ever thought what it's like, to be wanderers in the fourth dimension? Have you? To be exiles?" -the First Doctor

Woo-hoo! Massive DWdvd release ahead for the next 2 years! I was checking out

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com and came across this article. There are 2 stories/serials set to be released, with another 8 planned from now into 2005. Yay! Also, somewhere along the line, they are planning on releasing 'The Daleks' Masterplan', a William Hartnell story. It was originally thought to have been unreleasable, because episode 2 of the story was thought to have been lost. Earlier this month, the BBC reported that a 16mm film containing the story had been saved from the garbage can and sent to the restoration team. Check out the story here. This now brings the number of missing Doctor Who episodes down to 108. The other cool thing about this find is that it contains scenes with charaters that have very little visual material that still exists, like the Doctor's short-lived companions Katrina and Sara Kingdom. (I'm not sure i've seen any stories with them in it...)

If you find restoration projects for shows and movies as fascinating as I do, check out the episode and archive information from Outpost Gallifrey for this episode.
