What a wonderful set of telesnaps, and they look to be of superb quality.

These telesnaps look excellent and are in mint condition. I hope that the BBC gets access to them, similar to the film fragments from the same serial that appeared on the special edition DVD/Blu-ray. |

Don't judge the quality of the telesnaps from what's on the old BBC website. They were compressed and often over-processed by work-experience students they got in to do the work. This is the BBC original from which the website image comes:  |

Could any of these be needed enlargements? |

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.

Could any of these be needed enlargements? Cura's Single Coverage service provided ten 2"x2.5" enlargements as part of the price. Christopher Barry kept his ones, as seen in this auction, but they don't provide a huge amount of extra detail when compared with the normal telesnaps and it's certainly not worth paying Propstore's estimate of $1000-$2000 just for those. |

10 enlargements total or 10 per episode?
(60)

So preserving 60 higher quality images that could be used in reconstructions isn't worth $20 to $40 each to the bbc?
Wow!

They're a bit larger than the normal telesnaps, but they all come off the same small half-35mm negatives that the regular sized ones do. As such, the quality difference is negligible. As such, the BBC don't have any need for the enlargements, especially when the Power reconstruction has already been done. |

So you're saying you believe larger higher quality prints off a negative don't give more information than a smaller print would? I agree if we had the original negative it would trump all prints, but this is the closest we have of the details of the original negative
With these pics being so small to begin with, I would think any way to get more of the negatives details would be desired
Would it hurt to preserve higher quality at such a small cost compared to other expenses?
At least see if they were open to having the images high definition scanned.
The mindset of not preserving if not a current need is what caused the initial junkings. With this being one of the most iconic lost dalek stories, at the very least, I'm not seeing the problem with a duplicate print here.

Having handled many original telesnaps and their enlargements over the years, I stand by what I said, George. The quality difference is negligible. And besides, there is absolutely no way that you could approach an auction house over 5000+ miles away and say, "This item you're about to sell for a couple of thousand dollars. Would you mind if we copied all of it before you sell it off?" You'd be told very quickly where to go. |
