The interesting thing that it says is 'This newly announced mini-episode will be included on a future BBC DVD release next year' it could be that it's just the test animation which will be included on a completely animated set of missing episodes (which is probable) It could also be that they started animating it and had good reason to stop. but that may be my wishful thinking

Look at the twelfth post in this thread where I wrote: “If Nigeria has been thoroughly checked with nothing else found it could be Wheel.” No, I mean did you predict a 10 minute animation that is not part of a bigger project? I predicted an animation of Wheel - that’s what’s being shown. Perhaps it will develop into a re-creation of all four MEs, time will tell. However, it does suggest that PM has exhausted the possibility of further recoveries from Nigeria.

If you look at the colour photo carefully in the tweet you will notice Jamie is not wearing his costume from Wheel. The one he is wearing in the Tardis with Pat is from Macra.

But then if you apply a further five seconds of brain-power, you'll realise that there aren't any TARDIS scenes in The Macra Terror.

Perhaps they will include the infamous 'claw sequence' from Moonbase, as they had the pre-title Power of the Daleks sequence. Or maybe they've just reused the Macra assets for Wheel (if Macra was even worked on). Or it's simply an easier costume to animate. I'm all out of brain power, now.

Well for Power they did a little prequel scene, so for argument's sake they could have done the same with the scene at the end of The Moonbase (although PT would be in a space suit and Polly would be there) but it's not impossible - theoretically speaking. (That took a full twenty minutes of brain power, although I'm sure that has considerably less worth than 5 seconds from Stephen.)

Ha sorry - you beat me to it, brain power comment to boot!

I think that's very unlikely, Tim, given that the image shows a very particular set-up for the TARDIS that was only used for The Wheel in Space.

You would have thought they could at least get the costume right.

Why would MBW commission a 10 minute minisode, as per Charles Norton's comment on the matter. It seems a little bit "un-MBW" and a bit of an odd thing to do in general. Is it the polishing up of a rejected proposed animation piece?

Think i will give it a miss and instead just go to the evening session. Some good stuff found there from Phil, well worth a watch.

That's not the same thing.

Its presence at MBW would need to be offered and accepted, rather than requested. MBW could have accepted another lost episode from TIEA/BBC in place of this rather odd 10 minute venture possibly. What do you think the rationale would be?

I don't think it is a minor point of difference. It's the difference between reading what's actually there and inventing something that isn't - especially given that quite a number of fans have then repeated that "detail" ad infinitum today without bothering to check for themselves. The BFI have always shown interest in the animations, be it from Doctor Who or Dad's Army, so why wouldn't they be interested in slotting in a ten minute piece if it's offered to them? And if you've ever been a MBW event, you'll know that they show all sorts of oddities.
