Now that's how you introduce a Doctor!

Throw him straight away up against his most deadly foes.

And, under David Whitaker, the Daleks were never better imo.

Have to admit, I watch the colour option of the recent release. It hides some of the dodgier animation.

Colour photos of 'lost' Dr Who 'Power of the Daleks' episode now emerge at auction

The tremendous appeal of anything Dr Who related was underlined at south London auction house Roseberys in March when a collection of archive of photographs and copies of plans from a ‘lost’ episode sold for £4600. Now, more images are on offer, this time in colour.

Seen on set
These latest images to emerge at auction include a collection of 21 colour negatives and developed photographs of scenes.

They depict actors on set, interiors and other scenes, such as a photograph of Pamela Anne Davey as Janley standing next to a console station, a similar scene with her, Patrick Troughton as the Doctor and possibly Michael Craze as Ben Jackson standing next to the console.

Six scenes show various actors on set, another a scene of a Dalek in a corridor and 14 scenes are of different sets, including the 'Prison cells' and 'Rocket Equipment Ship One'.

The negatives come in three section strips within 'Wallace Heaton Ltd' folders, together with 11 black and white film strips each with 11 frames with varying lighting situations for the subject matter, the strips depicting seven scenes of Daleks in manufacture and groups with four of actors and other scenes.

from MONDAS, discussing this find.... and in particular the black and white film strips on the left........ which would appear to be actual undeveloped footage from the original episodes! :emoji_astonished:


Any one see the recent post on fb missing episodes page about the upcoming POTD photos auction and the possibility that the film strips are actually film trims.

Only about 11 frames for each scene so less than half a second of camera footage if so
