Following the Animated Power DVD many of us have been trying to speculate what might happen next. Being pragmatic I feel we will be lucky if we get another animation (Probably Evil) and extremely lucky to get a third (Masterplan?) but beyond that I am not optimistic. However I have a radical idea to compromise completing the Story of Doctor Who. A way forward might be to animate a scene or two from each of the missing STORIES. That way the Complete Story of Doctor Who could be told and sold on DVD or as broadcast programme. That's not very clear. I'll try to clarify.
By combining clips from existing STORIES combined with animated excerpts we could experience full story in sequence. The whole could be linked by voice over dialogue from Carole Ann Ford or David Bradley (I suspect William Russell may be getting too old?)
Disc 1: Introduction. Scenes from Unearthly Child, Rest of Stone Age story represented by torch fight from The Firemaker. The travellers meet the Daleks for the first time, The Doctor's epic speech from Brink of Disaster, Final sword fight between Marco and Tegana from Marco Polo (Animated).......Transformation scene from end of Tenth Planet 4 (animated)
Bonus features:- Complete Unearthly Child episode, The Missing episode Story - Documentary (Part 1)
Disc 2:- Introduction. Complete regeneration scene from Power (Animated), Jamie enters Tardis at end of Highlanders 4 (Animated).......The Doctor faces the Time Lord court at end of War Games part 10
Bonus feature:- Regeneration documentary, The episode story - Documentary (Part 2)
If Doctor Who had all it's episodes intact in 2013 this would have made an excellent 50th Anniversary DVD summarising all broadcast STORIES. It could still be made as I've suggested and released in July 2019 or January 2020 to celebrate 50th Anniversary of the broadcast of Hartnell/Troughton era. Similar releases could be made for subsequent Doctors but without having to animate anything.
So, my challenge is what sequence would you animate from a completely missing story to represent it? Arrival/departure of a companion? Finale of the story?
Only one sequence per missing story (NOT episode) most or all of the story must be missing so Marco Polo but not French Resistance, Masterplan but not Moonbase.
I'm sure this idea will be controversial but think. If this DVD were made and sold well then by seeing an animated sequence might, just might lead to more animations or better still recover actual episodes! Give it a whirl.
