Some episodes remain but not complete stories. Mainly Hartnell and Troughton. And sadly we have all of Colin Baker's run..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Don't Come Around Here No More I heard this on the radio tonight on the way home and remembered how much I love the song and the video. I went to look it up and found this kick ass live performance The Heartbreakers' guitarist, Mike Campbell, is really underrated. Petty always thought it was a shame that he fell under the shadow of The Heartbreakers as a group and never got the individual accolades he deserves. (Hmm, maybe this should go in that other thread...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Re: A Thread for Random Videos Are there at least the scripts (or even transcripts) of them' date=' so the contents of their stories could be read?[/quote'] Better than that. Not only do scripts and transcripts exist for all the episodes, but at least for the entire Troughton run the entire soundtracks were preserved. Combine that with stills from the episodes and you can rather effectively recreate a "lost" story. It's not a typical viewing experience, but it is preserved. I managed to watch "Evil of the Daleks" that way (the story in which the producers attempted to eliminate the Daleks because they no longer wanted to spar with Terry Nation over the rights to the signature monster). During the 1980's a published called Target Books held the rights to novelize not only then-current episodes of Doctor Who but past and "lost" episodes as well. They were releasing eight to twelve novels a year over the span of several years before the BBC decided they would handle the publication themselves. Among the writers they hired to adapt the scripts was former companion Ian Marter -- who adapted several of the Troughton serials and wanted very much to write an actual episode (and died before he could get the chance).

I wonder if anybody has thought of using the soundtracks, and mating them with animation/CGI to recreate those the TV episodes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
