      Subtitles and coming soon trailer for Web of Fear is all there will be. I suppose for any extras we’ll wait a couple of years for the special edition 🙁

      But on the positive side, only a few weeks back we only had one episode and the audio version, so I ain’t complaining…. much 😉

    I find it amusing that these newly discovered episodes are coming out on DVD before ‘The Underwater Menace’ ep 2 which was discovered 2 years ago.

      October 12th, 2013 - 9:05pm

      maybe it’s because the two episodes to go with Underwater Menace are being animated and taking longer? Galaxy 4 was put together with telesnaps, and the recent discoveries are (with 1 exception) complete. It’ll be nice when we see a release date for it, but it’s Troughton all the way on dvd in the next few months isn’t it!

      October 12th, 2013 - 9:09pm

      Part of the problem will be they are now set in stone for a release date and everything is being planned such as an animation for the two missing episodes.

      However, with these they have learned from their mistakes and ensured the DVD team actually knew about the discovery so they could bring them out in decent time.

    Im amazed at some of what has been revealed in the trailer especially some of the stuff from ep 6. ( which admittedly looks superbly done) but then of course the episodes are available I suppose so if you were waiting for the dvd ‘inadvertantly’ watched the trailer its tough luck on you… ITunes just seemed to want too much info.. I thought they might have been letting you use aypal to purchase the stuff…

    • booboo

      October 11th, 2013 - 10:52am

      because of rumours and hear say, like the 106 eps, people have done this and that etc etc

      all i know is that you will only get future official announcements, if any, when everything is “in the bag”

      If they had found power of the Daleks and announced it, then they went to restore it for release and the film fell apart, or they found tom and jerry spliced in the middle you wouldn’t thank them much

    • HornsOfAzal

      October 11th, 2013 - 10:59am

      I like the web of fear cover…must admit though suprised at the Brig (or rather Colonel’s) absence…

    • Lachie

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:13am

      i completely agree with booboo right there, l mean the minute they’ve announced it they not only have it up on iTunes with square covers for that, they have Restored it to practically perfect condition, they’ve got DVD Releases coming in the future with the Artwork already made (and done perfectly i might add from Tea Lady Design their brilliant) l mean the amount of time taken to do this would have been months… i think what’s brilliant is how unlike it was to the announcement of “The Underwater Menace: 2” in terms of everything

    • booboo

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:18am

      its much better this way, when things are know about months and months head delays can happen, even cancellation, people get frustrated

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:21am

      ok…? So has Marco Polo been found or not?

    • booboo

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:23am

      the only way you will know for sure is if there is an official announcement – so no

    • Lachie

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:26am

      yeah it makes alot of sense, people get frustrated either way though haha i was getting sick of hearing the constant news coming out and thinking should i just not use internet for a few days and wait it out haha i think the omnirumour about the whole 90+ episodes recovered could actually have some truth to it then on speculation considering though way less than 90+ now, probably more like 40 or so but released time to time like these two when they can. I believe Ian Levine if anybody though. In the meantime its best to wait and not bother BBC.

    • Some bloke

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:26am

      but is it rumoured? As I remember rightly it was Marco Polo, Enemy of the World and Web of fear, two of which have been found…

    • booboo

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:34am

      a huge haul is rumoured, that amongst them, that’s all i know

      I only know the same stuff that everyone else reads

    • booboo

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:38am

      i think someone let slip they had recorded a commentary for it but dont quote me on that, again could all be rumour is misunderstanding

    • Lachie

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:35am

      though just as a food for thought, if the BBC has all these episodes. why would they release the few DVD’s this year with animation to fill the gaps, if some of these missing episodes being animated have been found…?perhaps they have found all these missing episodes however they are going to say they found them later on to re-release in the future for more money? or just simply they believe they won’t ever be found.

    • booboo

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:41am

      animation is expensive so i doubt that.

      I very much suspect its all been blown out of proportion

      it could be that the paperwork trail shows this station was sent 100 eps for example, they find 9 there – the hunt goes on for where the rest were sent to next – people start to think 100 have been found

    • Lachie

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:42am

      actually that would be stupid to animate them if they already had them haha because then the BBC would be paying the Animators for money, now that i think about it i guess it was just a way of releasing all surviving material as they could haha

      HA! Just hoping the animation is better than the reign of terror. Don’t get me wrong I liked the animation in it, its just that it was a but to jump cut and quick and odd camera angles. So hopefully the tenth planet ep 4 is more true to the telesnaps 🙂

    • Lachie

      October 11th, 2013 - 11:57am

      well cheer’s for what’s to come in the future and for a brilliant day to Doctor Who fans. I hope the BBC are pulling all there efforts into finding these now they know the rewards that obviously come from it (now that Doctor Who is alot popular than it was).

      I watched tenth planet just now booboo, and I have say it was GREAT! Story-wise is was amazing! The animation of episode 4 for the first 3 minutes I have to say was probably worse than some of the stuff in reign of terror but after the first three it was incredibly better than reign of terror. Can’t wait to see what they’ve done with moonbase now! 🙂

  • AlzieWhozie

    October 11th, 2013 - 8:33am

    To be frank, its not the most important thing as to the cover design – what matters is that we have 5 new episodes of Enemy of the World. In other words a whole serial starring Pat, Fraser and Debbie. And Web of Fear added to boot. Classic stuff. I remember listening to EofW years ago and thought then “this sounds terrific stuff” and now, I hope, we’ll all think that.

  • Sam Bentley

    Just going to put it out there – they should release new covers in the style for all the episodes on DVD already. Using the original artwork of course. But these look so much nicer than the normal design.

      I disagree they should always change the style if they want to and the web of fear cover is excellent as is the enemy of the world one. The designs are different. These should be the designs put forward to the DVD release.

    • John Bergqvist

      November 23rd, 2013 - 6:15pm

      Regarding the DVD cover, if you reverse it, you’ll find a more traditional (i.e. with the Grey TARDIS background along the top half) background, similar to all the other classic DVD releases. I’m sure this will be the case for The Web Of Fear too.
