Terror of the Zygons and the last complete existing story finally makes it to DVD. So what is left that hasn't so far been issued? (no no no - NOT the 90 episodes rumoured to be from from Serra del Fuego I mean in the real world existing) Odd episodes with (hopefully animation e.g.. Moonbase, Underwater Enemy etc.) Children in Need - Dimensions in Time, etc.
We suspect totally animated stories may not happen. But for us completists what else could there be? What about other animations/reconstructions?
I've helped to reconstruct the trailer that preceded "An Unearthly Child" on another thread on this site. What about constructing David Whitaker's re-imagined opening to his novelisation of the Daleks where Ian and Barbara meet the Doctor and Susan in the fog on Barnes Common? Or John and Gillian meeting Dr Who before their adventure with the Kleptons?

It's "Underwater Menace" not "Underwater Enemy".

It's likely that The Underwater Menace will be the last DVD. Sort of a fitting end, as its episode was the last to be recovered.

I think there's a slight chance they will animate Crusade.
I suppose they could do Dimensions in Time and Curse of the Fatal Death but after that there really isn't anything else.

There are lots of possibilities out there that could happen. I think that D.I.T. wont ever get a release as it was all done for charity work back in 1993.

I believe everyone involved with DIT signed contracts that they would only appear if it was never released for profit. No one got paid to be in it.

No great loss, to be honest.

I suppose the only chance DIT has is if contracts are re-negotiated, but only for a special Children in Need release from which all profits are donated to that year's campaign totals.
But I don't think anyone would deem it to be worth the trouble.

I seem to remember last year that The Restoration Team said that every existing episode of the classic series would be out on DVD by November 2013 and that Underwater Menace 2 was being held back for a 'very special release'. Now we see that Tenth Planet is put forward and Moonbase put back and no mention of UM, I'm not one for conspiracy theories but...

Dan Hall has said that it is only financially viable to complete stories with animation that are missing 1-2 episodes. Hence we have Moonbase and UWM to come in 2014 and a possibility that The Crusade will be announced at some point.
However, this still leaves a lot of potential material that may never make it to DVD. It's a shame, for example, that all the interviews, extras and docos that would appear on a (theoretical) Power of the Daleks release are unlikely to ever happen. DItto the other missing stories. So there are things like the Power of the Daleks trailer which the BBC has but I don't think has been released yet. At Whovention in Sydney last year, I chatted to Dan Hall at length and he said how frustrating it was that because these stories are unlikely to be released (certainly not with animation at any rate) that we miss out on the other content that would naturally go with such a release.
So, assuming there are no more releases after The Crusade (if that is announced), maybe it's time for a DVD of 'ephemera' - all the stuff that doesn't have a natural home with any existing story - or an updated doco (Fifty Years in the TARDIS?) that incorporates these final pieces.

The Power of the Daleks trailer is on Lost In Time. Most stray stuff from the 60s is on that set: it's always worth double checking as I've noticed a lot of people recently (maybe cos the release is so old now) seem to assume stuff that was on it still hasn't been released. There are only a few exceptions from the 60s that aren't on it like the Abominable Snowmen blooper and the 10 secs of Dalek model film (3 secs of which is supposed to be actual film from the episode) from Evil of the Daleks.
