Should animation be used to re-create missing episodes?
Yes - I'd buy a copy

I think this is really disappointing news, considering just how good the animated Invasion episodes were. I've been hoping they'd do likewise for more classic stories in the future, and am most unhappy that it looks like that'll not be the case. Damn.

Still, considering that you can get them all in audio, I kind of agree with them that we should concentrate on complete stories first.

I was heavily involved as the club's liaison with both ABC and BBC Worldwide at the time of the black and white screenings in 2003...
Although the ABC said they were 'committed' to screening the entire classic series through to 1989's Survival, the BBC told me that the ABC were under no obligation to keep screening it if they felt the ratings weren't good enough.


You don't say you're going to do something and then not do it. That's morally wrong and ratings are not an excuse on a publically funded broadcaster.

At the time it was announced that 'The War Games' was not going to be screened there was an outcry from the fans, so I did try to get some clarification as to why it couldn't be screened without the Dalek clip from episode 10 deleted. Contrary to the ABC's advice that the story was 'unavailable for contractual reasons', I was assured by the BBC that the story had been offered as part of the package, but with the deleted Dalek clip. It was assumed by my sources at the BBC that as it was a ten-parter, ie. 2 weeks worth of air-time, the ABC was keen to get into the colour episodes as the black and whites were beginning to look tired in the ratings.


The truth lies here. The BBC offered the story to the ABC with the clip removed... therefore the actions of the Nation estate are not relevent. I have also reaslied recently that it was only the Dalek stories written by Nation himself (with the exception of the The Five Doctors) which were telecast. So simply ganging up in an attempt to prevent an alternative POV being expressed is not going to work.

And by selectively quoting what I had to say, you miss a possible extra reason why they might have chosen to not show The War Games - although, as I said, it's pure speculation on my part.

You can say the same thing over and over again, it is unlikely to convince me (or anyone else!) of your position if you haven't already done so. (Especially if your level of evidence is saying that your sources at the BBC told you something - hearsay is not acceptable as evidence.)


You're getting a bit personal here. What are you going to do if I keep reiterating my POV, ban me? You were not selectively quoted. You were directly quoted and you are wrong, in fact you have not followed the actual direction of the conversation. I wrote to the ABC at the time of telecast to ask them why The War Games was not screened and I recieved a reply suggesting it was the actions of the Nation estate and they couldn't make the 10 second cut necessary. Above somebody explained that they were in contact with the BBC (as a rep of the DWCA) which admitted the ABC had been offered an edited version - meaning that the actions of the Nation estate were not the reason for the story not to be shown and leaving ratings and a general desire to move into the colour episodes as the most likely explanation. This has been confused further by the fact that the person revealing this information then claims that the decision to pull the War Games was due to the actions of the Nation estate. Yet the ABC according to him were offered it in edited form???? Clearly not all of us were born with the same level of analytical skills.

You can slag off the ABC Board, and I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you, but when the bottom line is reached, the ABC doesn't exist to show Doctor Who. I doubt the ABC Board, whether stacked with Liberal stooges or otherwise, paid very much attention to the run of Doctor Who and no amount of negative comment on a small forum is gouing cause them to travel back in time and change things so that they show The War Games when it should have been run.


And this is just childish and silly. There's nothing wrong with going over the past to explain events... otherwise historians would be out of a job. The board is the reason the ABC can't afford anything decent in the 5-7pm timeslot anymore.

Do you have anything to say on the actual topic of this thread - recreation of missing episodes using animation, etc?


Actually no, and that's what I meant about "organic" conversations that adults have rather than autistic children... the subject matter can change.

I'm actually not happy about the attitude of two individuals on this forum and I'm considering complaining about it. Considering one of them is a moderator I suppose it is a waste of time. I actually thought this forum was a little different than a lot of British ones, more laid back and one where it wasn't necessary to read your posts 12 times and consult a lawyer before posting.

Very dissapointing. The "gang-up" phililosophy is very "Sydney" in my mind. One of the reasons I left the DWCA in the first place was the very cliquey nature of the club... alternative POV not welcome I think. Wink

*sigh*

You want to complain about people making personal comments and post what you just have. Feel free to go back and read what you posted again.

Me? I'll be travelling to Sydney to plot with all the other autistic children how to gang up on people with better analytical skills than us.
