There are in fact 2 releases for DMP, the audio CD's over 5 discs and all the episodes on a single disc in MP3 format. I have both in my collection. The only other MP3 release was the 'Abominable Snowmen' and the 'Web of Fear' on one disc.

I give Douglas Camfield a lot of the credit for the success of DMP. Almost all the shows he directed were favorites of mine. I do think it could have been tighter in the middle but it holds up very well.

Perhaps the change of settings and loss of two leading characters in the course of the story isn't a good thing. Television serials had to be written in such a way that the story was comprehensible even if you missed a week's episode. I can watch the two-out-of-six episodes of "Wheel In Space" and still get the picture. That's pretty much how I saw Dr Who up to "Mind Robber". But "Master Plan" would have been much harder to follow if you couldn't catch it every week.

How is this project coming along? Of course, even if Ian does get the animation completed, Dan Hall may still reject it, as there isn't enough space on the DVD for both the animation AND that essential documentary about what some Z-list pseudo-celebrity thinks about DMP, and no matter how good Hartnell is, he'll never be a patch on Nu Who.

Z-list pseudo-celebrity...?I think the phrase you're looking for is 'a high-profile Dr Who fan...'

The biggest disappointment to me wasn't that they rejected Ian's shada Rather they never tried to have something better.

And that simply may have been that they didn't have any choice.

To go off at a tangent and try to answer the question in the thread title I'd suggest "Yes" or "Very"  |

I give Ian credit for his persistence and dedication to the series. I dont know any others going to the efforts he is to ensure the missing episodes are animated.

True, he's a hero. But he never smiles. Maybe that's why he irritates people?

Sorry, that was a bit tactless. He just seems overly serious to me, like it isn't bringing him any joy.

It does bring him joy,it's probably that he just never shows it in public.And I did like his comments about the 2011 discoveries having brightened what was 'a very dark year' in DWM which said a lot about the current state of Britain both politically and socially in just a few sentences.It shows he has a fair degree of depth to him.Top man.

I cant talk for Ian as I don't even know him personally. However he appears to me the kind of guy who is open with his thoughts and very sensitive to rejection.
I would feel the same way after the amount of effort he has put into things only to find dead ends.
