RE: Loosetooth's Tardis Chronicles: The Edge of Destruction
I remember this story arc well from my childhood, catching classics on UK TV Gold on a Sunday morning. I've been following your posts and I'm thinking I should rewatch the classics. Got a few on VHS that should probably be dusted off.
I've still got a few I taped off UK Gold.
I had to give up my tape collection when we moved house as a teen, but I did stumble across a few tapes in a charity shop, including this one:
I've never actually seen this one. A few years back they did a version of Shada as an animated web series with Paul McGann's Doctor instead of Tom Baker, which I've seen, and there was also a book written by Gareth Roberts, in the style of Douglas Adams, and I've listened to the audiobook of that.
Last year the BBC commissioned a new version where the missing sequences are animated, with voice work by all the original cast. It's been done before with some of the William Hartnell/Patrick Throughton stories with missing episodes were they still have the audio recordings. But as I understand it Shada has missing sections, which will give it a real patchwork feel.
I've only watched it myself once and had a flick through the script, although from what I remember it wasn't the best episode anyway.
My dad was telling me about this the other week, I'm looking forward to it. I know there's been a few missing episodes over the years with some turning up recently, I really need to have a classic Who binge. There's quite a few I haven't seen, especially the Sylvester McCoy years.
The problem with this project is I won't get to the McCoy era for about eight years.
ha yeah that's a good point, at least you've got plenty of content to work with
