The article describes these as "further photos from the same source" & if you read all the way through the source is identified. The collection was owned by the late production designer and art director, Derek Dodd (1937-2018), who made set designs for The Power of the Daleks and The Wheel in Space.[/b] This may just be part of the Dodd Estate sale. In case you cannot see the whole article, here is some additional info that is provided: These latest images to emerge at auction include a collection of 21 colour negatives and developed photographs of scenes.
They depict actors on set, interiors and other scenes, such as a photograph of Pamela Anne Davey as Janley standing next to a console station, a similar scene with her, Patrick Troughton as the Doctor and possibly Michael Craze as Ben Jackson standing next to the console.
Six scenes show various actors on set, another a scene of a Dalek in a corridor and 14 scenes are of different sets, including the 'Prison cells' and 'Rocket Equipment Ship One'.
The negatives come in three section strips within 'Wallace Heaton Ltd' folders, together with 11 black and white film strips each with 11 frames with varying lighting situations for the subject matter, the strips depicting seven scenes of Daleks in manufacture and groups with four of actors and other scenes.Other related links are: 06 Mar 2019 -> www.antiquestradegazette.com/news/2019/lost-doctor-who-daleks-episode-lives-again-as-archive-comes-to-auction/04 Apr 2019 -> www.antiquestradegazette.com/news/2019/lost-doctor-who-dalek-episode-exterminates-auction-estimate-in-south-london/

I'd love to see them - I wonder if they'll ever be published.

Those 35mm strips look interesting, though I can't quite figure what they are. They appear to be positives in the photo and look rather like short ends of 35mm cine film (as opposed to a set of half frame still images).

Interesting! Though I take exception with "The master tapes of all six episodes were erased in the late 1960s, while the copies kept for foreign sales on 16mm film were destroyed in 1974. Their destruction meant that the only information to survive on the series was limited to stills photography and films made by fans when the programmes were broadcast."

They look absolutely gorgeous and a very exciting find.They look as if they would have appeared in a magazine article as part of a photo spread possibly in-house?

Would those film strips be playable and are they missing scenes?

Are these the colour photos of POTD that were as far as I can remember published in Dr Who mag in the early 90’s?

A set of colour photographs taken on-set during rehearsal of POTD was published by DWB in a softcover "special" during the 1980s. That might be the source being referred to by Richard Woods, as I can offhand only recall b/w photos from this serial appearing in DW Monthly in the 1990s.

The first Andrew Pixley archive from 1991 (issue 180 I think) utilised many of those photos too.

The Power pics that were around in the late eighties are from I believe, the Daily Mail. I have the set on slides from them. They aren't the ones being sold by the Dodd Estate. They look rather good from the ads, wonder what the Wheel ones will be like?

Would those film strips be playable and are they missing scenes? At first I thought no, but on closer inspection I'm certain at least one of them is missing. Look at the one labelled 3". I've gone through every single surviving clip from Power, and there is never one that looks like that. In the film strip there are clearly three Daleks facing roughly towards the camera and a fourth Dalek angled towards them on the right. There is no surviving shot even remotely similar to it other than one from episode four which I have pictured beside the film strips. This clip in question features three Daleks entering the plotting room, and they take up positions roughly matching those in the strip, however it is the fourth Dalek that causes issues. Pictured is the final frame of the surviving clip, but note, if you will, that the final Dalek is just entering the shot in the last frame whereas, in the film strips, it is visible in shot and in line for several frames. Additionally, the first and second Daleks in line are touching or nearly touching the entire time the body of the last Dalek is in shot whereas they are noticeably separate in the film strip, and this is all assuming that the image on the film strip is flipped from that in the clip. Similarly, I would suggest that strip 1 is part of the existing "Daleks conquer and destroy" bit unless that film strip is not flipped because there is no surviving clip wherein a Dalek goes through that door and exits out of the right of the shot. Finally, I can't make it out very well, but the film strip just peeking out from beneath strip 1 on the far right does not feature any shot I recognize. All of this leads me to conclude that at least one of these strips includes missing footage because no surviving clip has frames that match it. Attachments:
