There are, unfortunately, some important omissions. Marco Polo only has six surviving sets and there are none for Space Pirates. Hopefully the next season boxsets or even the upcoming standalone stories iinclude those as well. Er, you can’t do telesnap reconstructions if there aren’t any telesnaps.

It's funny while I was copying seasons 2s blu ray pdfs last night and noticed they have nearly all the sets and blow ups for nearly all the stories. There are, unfortunately, some important omissions. Marco Polo only has six surviving sets and there are none for Space Pirates.

“The new recordings, Ayres said, are "much better than we've had before for this story", and were remarkably discovered at a landfill site.”

Ah, missed this one. Don't think I've ever seen this before. I understand that as well as a number of Doctor Who actors among the cast, it has another link in that it was produced by Milton Subotsky and Max J. Rosenberg, the producers of the two Dalek films. Of course, 'Spearhead from Space' also owes a lot to the 1965 film 'Invasion', based on a story by Robert Holmes and featuring an unconscious humanoid alien being taken to a rural hospital... It may still be available on their catchup service.

It’s worth remembering that the aim isn’t to extrapolate the whole of reality from a piece of fairy cake.
I expect that the animations start with the drawing up of a camera script and then sorting out the sets/backgrounds. It’s then a matter of “putting” animated figures “into” the sets and making sure the lips synch with the sound track. There are also usually 2-3 telesnaps for every minute - say one every twenty to thirty seconds.
The purpose of AI would be to achieve a better, more realistic, recreation of a ME. Hopefully there would be enough visual material to produce a decent representation of the original sets rather than the “sketchy” versions often seen in the animations. It shouldn’t be too difficult to produce a camera script, remembering the constraints of multi-camera recording in the 60s. Then you “give” the AI the script and audio and tell it to “film” it according to the script but matched to the audio.

And, with 405 lines and small screens to give better redition of actors faces and lip movements for those hard of hearing, I suspect. That’s a good point but I’m unsure if lip readers were considered important. Does anyone know?

I know who the uploader is. I just watched this missing Dramarama: youtu.be/kCi2WlBnEOQbecause of you, Ray - between this, the episode of Lulu's Party and all of Champagne on Ice, you really are knocking them out the park this month! Yep, and he only works mornings 😇

Did he actually return it, or just admit to having found it..? Phil returned prints of various episodes in 2018 and 2019. They are listed in the TIEA 2018 thread. 'My Old Man's a Tory' was amongst them and it was indeed an original 16mm print. In addition, I have secured for the BBC Archive a second 16mm print of 'My Old Man's a Tory', a better print of 'The Likely Lads: Entente Cordiale', also the original prints of 'A Star is Born' and 'Faraway Places', plus an original BBC Enterprises print of 'Dad's Army: The Battle of Godfrey's Cottage' as an alternative to the current archival print which has some scratching. Paul That’s a damn good haul 👍 Like Ray, whaddya do in the afternoon Paul 😇?
