Patrick Troughton stars in this recreation of a lost classic from 1966.
The TARDIS brings the Doctor, Polly and Ben to a colony on the swamp planet of Vulcan. Soon after arriving, the Doctor witnesses a brutal murder.
Meanwhile, in another part of the colony an ancient crashed space capsule has been discovered in the swamps. The colony's misguided chief scientist opens the capsule and discovers a group of strange metal 'creatures' inside. The creatures appear to be long dead. The Doctor calls the metal creatures 'Daleks' and claims that they are incredibly dangerous.
'Power of the Daleks' was the first Doctor Who story to star Patrick Troughton as the Doctor - broadcast between November and December 1966. Sadly, none of the six original broadcast episodes of 'Power of the Daleks' any longer exist in the BBC Film Archives. However, complete audio recordings of the lost episodes have survived in the hands of private collectors. And it is these audio recordings that are used as the basis for this special animated production of the programme. Now in a brand new edition and brought to you in glorious black and white...

Restoration of one of the great Dalek stories.
The black and white animation suits this reconstruction well, making the Daleks look more formidable, then they could have looked in the now lost TV broadcast. This was the first story that Patrick Troughton appeared as the 2nd Doctor, with the companions Ben and Polly not sure if they trust him, after witnessing the first regeneration in the story. But this adds to the whole sense of paranoia as a human colony discovers 3 deactivated Daleks and brings 1 back to life. Then the Doctor battles to warn the colony, while different factions think they can exploit the Daleks, who say they are their servants, while pursuing their own agenda. This is a great classic Doctor Who story which is able to use it's six episode structure and present the Daleks for a first time as an intelligent threat that manipulates humans.

Great buy
The animation is much improved from the first release, more fluid and interesting. The revamp felt correct. The extra special features are a nice addition. The actual item was delivered very quickly.
