    October 14th, 2019 - 1:10pm

    personally i don’t care what we get. hartnel or trougton. they are both great doctors so any thing new from their eras would be great.
    stories that i would like to see the most are:
    1. the evil of the daleks
    2. the abominable snowman
    3. the fury from the deep
    4. the savegers
    5. the wheel in space
    6. the space pirates

    the only one i would be disopionted by would be the web of fear episode 3 as that would feel a bit of a let down but apart from that i am happy with any thing!

    I’ve suddenly thought that it might just be mission on it’s own. An animated colour and black and white version along with the new remade version. That makes three episodes on a disc same as several McCoy era stories. I presume it will be evil as it makes sense commercially but I’d happily buy mission on its it’s own

      Makes zero sense to animate that if they have a live action version

    • Anonymous

      October 14th, 2019 - 11:52am

      But it’s not the original version. The remake is an alternative version not a replacement.

    • Anonymous

      October 14th, 2019 - 11:55am

      It also makes zero sense to animate episodes that physically exist but they are doing that with the faceless ones.

    • Tim M

      October 14th, 2019 - 12:01pm

      The ‘Mission to the Unknown’ which has already been recreated is absolutely fine and superb. There would be no point animating the story now. I’d much rather efforts are put towards animating other stories like ‘The Celestial Toymaker’ , ‘The Savages’ , ‘The Evil of the Daleks’ , ‘The Abominable Snowmen’, ‘Fury from the Deep’ , ‘The Wheel in Space’ or ‘The Space Pirates’ etc.

    • Gordon

      October 14th, 2019 - 12:23pm

      Neither is the animations the original version. Only difference is the animation uses the original soundtrack. With a bit of audio trickery they could work the soundtrack into the live action version. No animation would be required for that

      Bbc America who have a big hand on funding the animations will be broadcasting the faceless ones. It makes sense if you are broadcasting the whole thing to have a full consistent product in the same style instead of switching from 4:3 live action to widescreen animation then back to 4:3 live action before switching again to widescreen animation for the last 3 episodes.

  • Tim M

    October 14th, 2019 - 9:25am

    Logically I think the next animation would be ‘The Evil of the Daleks’. We shall hopefully found out what it is soon though.

    I THINK IT MAY BE EITHER ‘THE HIGHLANDERS’ OR ‘THE EVIL OF THE DALEKS’ THE REASON I SAY THIS IS BECAUSE EITHER OF THESE STORIES WILL WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN DONE WILL MAKE ORGINAL SEASONS COMPLETE. AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEN THEY BE RELEASED AS ‘BLUE-RAY BOX SETS’

      Charles said Highlanders would be much harder to imagine doing than others given the amount of characters and complicated costumes needed. Same reason given for Marco Polo.

    • Anonymous

      October 13th, 2019 - 9:42pm

      Remember that the season 4 boxset would include the smugglers and tenth planet as well. Also the Highlanders has been confirmed as not coming out

    • TIM M

      October 14th, 2019 - 7:43pm

      Not trying to be controversial here, but another reason for not animating any ‘historical’ story is that the animation style being used works better for the sci-fi/fantasy stories, rather than the more serious historicals. The style might not sit as well with the audio.

      I’d like to see Dark Eyes, Doom Coalition and Ravenous animated first if that’s the case

  • Gordon

    October 13th, 2019 - 10:26am

    Personally I think the obvious answer is evil. It follows directly on from the faceless ones. I doubt it will be Marco crusade masterplan masacre and highlanders. Those have been deemed unlikely to be animated at present. Wheel seems a possibility however Richard Bignell seems to think it’s not happening. Space pirates seems a posibility seeing as it completes a season however it’s got an extremely poor reputation with no memorable monster or companion entrance or exit which may hurt its chances and the animations chosen aren’t chosen because of the collection. With the team hard at work on the faceless ones I wonder if it’s another team working on this? It could open the possibilities for larger projects down the road

      As Gordon says, and has said before, certain stories have already been ruled out. I do think evil is the most likely one. Am I right in thinking Gordon that the animations are to be shown on BBC America? If that is the case then they will not do a combination of animated, original episode and reconstruction as someone suggested. Now personally I wasn’t keen on the macrame animation, however I’m happily buying faceless ones and will buy whatever the next one is as well. Please be grateful for getting anything and don’t complain what you want isn’t announced.

    • Prof Horner

      October 13th, 2019 - 11:24am

      Well Evil would be better, but I still hope it’s the space pirates so we can the complete season 6 on Blu Ray next year. Season 6 is the earliest Who I can remember . I will get every season on Blu Ray up to season 21.

    • Rob W

      October 13th, 2019 - 11:39am

      The Macra Terror used newer animation software called Toon Boom Harmony and the team are now more experienced in using this, so who knows how many stories are in the pipeline.

    • Gordon

      October 13th, 2019 - 11:47am

      @anonymous that is correct though I’ve no idea when macra terror is being shown

      @prof Horner if it is space pirates I doubt season 6 will be out next year. They will want a stand alone release first to recoup animation costs and maximise sales before releasing it in the collection range

    • The Ergon

      October 13th, 2019 - 7:06pm

      Seems more than likely it could be those 5 episodes for Evil but what about ‘The celestial Toymaker’ for 3, and one story for Hartnells era?.Whats the main difficulty with this?

    • The Ergon

      October 13th, 2019 - 7:10pm

      Oh i,ve just checked my bookazine. No telesnaps to work on and reliance on existing photos.

    • Tim M

      October 14th, 2019 - 12:05pm

      Ironically that would make the animation of ‘The Space Pirates’ somewhat easier. Having only the surviving episode 2 and no telesnaps of the others, gives the animators more freedom to interpret and visualise the story however they wish within reason.

    • The Ergon

      October 14th, 2019 - 3:38pm

      They,ve sneakily incorporated Magpie Electricals from New Who into ‘The faceless ones’, so as the whole feature unless the episodes are found I see no reason why not?

      They would want a stand alone release first to recoup costs before putting it in season 6. There would also need to be a gap between the stand alone release and collection release so not to cancel each other out.

    My money is on Evil of the Daleks. It seems to me they’re doing Season 4 in chronological order, with The Highlanders and Underwater Menace skipped because they are too costly to do or something.

    The more interesting thing is The fact this animation is being announced before the faceless ones is released and the fact that this early announcement probably means itll be released next year too means that theyve upped the funding to allow up to atleast 10 episodes a year possibly even 12 making the daleks master plan more of a possibility than before where it was almost certain it would never happen.

    Personally im hoping that itll be the abominable snowmen and a special edition of web of fear with an animated episode 3

    I hope it’s a Season 3 Hartnell-whilst I understand Season 4 has been the focus of animations seeing as it has no complete stories, by the time The Faceless Ones comes out, it will have five stories completed with animation as opposed to four without. Meanwhile, Season 3 has three complete stories out of ten-the UCLan Mission to the Unknown fills a gap, but that’s still six stories incomplete. Personally, I wouldn’t mind if Galaxy 4 is left as the DVD recon, and Myth Makers, Massacre and Savages would do as recons for me too. The Celestial Toymaker would be good animated, but unlikely as with The Crusade due to the racist subtext. For those reasons, I recommend animating half of The Daleks’ Master Plan-I realise that nine episodes would be a massive task, but four/five, not so much. It would be better than still images for the majority of it, and could be alternated to be recon/animation/surviving episode. Plus, Daleks always sell! Sorry for the long post but I do love a missing episode ramble!

      I agree, I’m not being biased because Hartnell is my favourite, but I’m getting a bit sick of Troughton releases to be honest. Every story since 2013 has been a Troughton-Enemy, Web, Moonbase, Underwater Menace, Power of the Daleks, Macra Terror and Faceless Ones (Yes, I know I skipped Shada)-I know Troughton has more missing episodes, and Season 4 is practically a blank slate, so I get they want to do lots of animations to get that season as complete as possible for the Collection sets, but Season 3 is also very blank, and that has no animations so far and could be a rather bland set without animations. It has three complete stories out of ten, four if we count the UCLan Mission to the Unknown, but even so, that’s a lot of telesnaps reconstructions, and could become tiresome in longer stories such as The Daleks’ Master Plan which would need nine reconstructions!

      Will it be of a missing story or a 13th doctor one similar to projects like the infinite quest, hope it’s a missing story, does this mean they’re being done more regularly now? Hoping for evil or fury, it would be cool for more season 4 episodes to be done for a potential season 4 bluray boxset
