Oh, WRT to film strips, I forgot about this info & link to the strips provided by stevegerald (THANKS!) on Jul 28, 2019 in last years discussion : imgur.com/a/EwLM90ZHmm, subsequent to that quotation, in last year's thread on Aug 2, Richard Bignell added: Well, given the fact that it now appears that they aren't trims but re-photographed film inserts with different exposure settings on each frame, they very probably are sequences used in the episodes, as per the "Daleks conquer and destroy" sequence.

The Photo Gallery is glorious!
From the booklet - "An expanded collection of 85 BBC photographs taken in the studio during the original 1966 production of 'The Power of the Daleks'. Included in this collection are a number of never before released full-colour photographs that have only recently been rediscovered."
I haven't cross checked with the auction photos, so I cannot say that ALL are there, but a lot of new ones are featured.

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/

Another thing to remember is that on 16mm film, there is an optical audio track that does not synch directly with the video frames. The result of that is that if you have a piece of 16mm film - just a film clip - it will be missing some of the audio. Others here may be able to explain this better, but here is a quotation about audio from Steve Roberts / Paul Vanezis of the Restoration Team on Restoring 'The War Machines' that might help explain it: Episode Four ... 3. Two lines of dialogue are missing when Polly reports back to WOTAN
Brett: Wotan will consider your case later. If found guilty you will be destroyed. Polly: I Understand Krimpton: For the moment your help is needed here Krimpton's last line is seen, although the sound is missing (due to the 16 frame offset between sound and pictures on 16mm film). We thought that this shot could be reinstated by incorporating shots of Wotan from other episodes.
A total of 17 seconds is missing from this episode.from -> www.impossiblethings.net/restorationteam/warmach.htm

Thank you for your replies Richard.
I had been wondering if these missing omnibus compilations would be reconstructed when the appropriate Seasons were done. Your hard work and that of all the others on the team involved in these excellent Blu-ray releases is greatly appreciated!

With the announcement of the upcoming Doctor Who: The Collection - Season 10 Blu-ray, I noticed this tidbit -> Plus: a repeat omnibus of The Green Death unseen since Christmas 1973
I'm wondering if this offering will be audio-only plus the camera script OR if it will include a new reconstruction of the missing omnibus version based on the 1973 audio recording?
Any chance that you can help out with this one Richard B.? Hoping for the latter of course. Thanks in advance, Hugh

Nope, this is not one of the Loose Cannon extras. It's a new initiative - I first heard about it when Peter Purves posted on Twitter a last month. DR WHO - MISSION TO THE UNKNOWN (BBC NORTH WEST NEWS 20/02/19) -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=HStzDpGmHRYBoth Edward de Souza and Peter Purves have done interviews, and Nicolas Briggs is voicing the Daleks. Everyone is hoping that it will be included on some sort of official release.
