It's never going to replace the lost visuals, but is it better than listening to the audio only or watching intermittently changing still pictures..? I'd say so. Depends, just hearing the audio lets you imagine what the visuals might look like. You know, like in the good old days.

I only got through the first half. I suppose it's a good start although I don't know whether this or Shada came first? The posted pics from DMP look interesting though. I guess I'm just pining for the real thing and listening to the soundtrack again just reminds me of what's gone.

I missed my chance of seeing the original upload, but somebody else has uploaded it. I've got myself a copy of it, just cause I can't always get to a computer, and it'll probably be down again when I get back. From seeing a brief moment of it, it looks decent enough, and it'd be great to see what the rest of it will all look like.

Its an interesting point. A bit radical though. I am undecided for the moment.

I trust you're asking purely for information purposes, and not to try and get hold of a copy, aren't you..? Because posting a request for copyright material in your first post, so soon after reading the forum rules (as I'm sure you did when you signed up) would be heavily frowned upon...

Purely out of interest

In that case, yes, somebody has, because they reuploaded it after the original copy was removed.

I have not yet watched the Reign of Terror animated episodes, but I'm looking forward to seeing them. I have, of course, seen the animated episodes of 'The Invasion' and now I have seen Ian Levine's animated version of 'Mission To The Unknown.'
The wonderful thing about animation, in contrast to still picture reconstructions, at least for me, is that I now have a sense of having watched the episode in some form.
Listening to the audio only or watching a series of static pictures with audio can give a person information about what an episode was like, so I feel better informed afterwards. However, it seems to me that there is just no better option than animation for giving a person a workable substitute for viewing the (now unavailable) original and then the sense of having watched the episode (rather than just knowing about it).
It is always possible to nitpick the animation that was done, but I am very grateful to Ian Levine for giving me the sense that I have now "watched" this missing episode. It's the same sense I had after viewing the two missing episodes of "The Invasion."
I do indeed hope that one day soon it will be possible to watch the entire monochrome era through a combination of preserved episodes and animated reconstructions. Of course, it is a matter of personal taste and some do not like animated reconstructions or complain about the style of animation, but I think for quite a large number of people, audio only or a slideshow-like presentation doesn't give a person the impression of having watched the episode. We are very fortunate indeed that the audio tracks of all the missing episodes exist to open up the possibility of such animated reconstructions.
