Note: Linking narration by Tom Baker. Cover blurb: |
Note: Previously released in the 2003 Daleks audio box set, this version removes the Tom Baker voiceover and adds new narration by Anneke Wills. Cover blurb: ‘I’ve been renewed... without it I couldn’t survive.’ Before the astonished eyes of his companions Ben and Polly, the Doctor’s whole body has apparently been transformed. Now they are confronted by a stranger who claims to be their old friend — but how can they know whether to trust him? The TARDIS’s arrival on the swamp planet of Vulcan brings its own problems; the Doctor is mistaken for an official come to solve the Earth colony’s in-fighting, and soon he and his companions are embroiled in political wranglings. However, a far more serious threat lurks within the colony. The scientist Lesterson has discovered a crashed space capsule, within it a group of inert metallic creatures which the Doctor identifies as Daleks. Refusing to heed the Doctor’s warnings, Lesterson supplies power to the Daleks and revives them. The awakened Daleks claim to be faithful servants of humanity — but could such a thing ever be possible? By covert means they seek an increasing level of energy, but for what? By the time the Doctor and his friends discover the Daleks’ true plan for the colony, it looks as if it might already be too late to stop them... Anneke Wills, who plays Polly in the story, narrates this debut story for the second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, first broadcast in 1966 and long since missing from the television archives. This recording was previously included in the Doctor Who: Daleks tin. |
Note: “Reconstructed” version, featuring the original episode audio synched with a multimedia slideshow of approximately 70 telesnaps (still photographs) per episode, for each of the 6 missing episodes. The cover blurb suggests that this was to be the first of a series of reconstructed MP3-CD releases of missing 1960s stories, but no others were ever produced. Cover blurb: In Doctor Who Reconstructed, the narrated soundtrack of a ‘missing’ Doctor Who serial is matched with a slideshow of rare off-screen stills, taken by the photographer John Cura. Together these elements make the closest possible simulation of the actual film recording.
