Proud to say that my daughter did aĺl the audio on this and even got to be a dalek for part of the filming..I think her and the rest at UCLAN did a fantastic job
Congratulations you must be so proud
Your daughter and the others did Doctor Who and us whovians proud 😊
I thank your daughter for helping to bring this episode back to life
This was excellent. I didn't read the details at first and thought it was an old episode. It wasn't until I saw Nicky Briggs in the credits as the dalek voices did I realize it was a creation. What do you mean your daughter did ALL the audio on this? How could one do ALL the audio on a project of this size? And Nicky Briggs is doing the audio of the daleks.
Laura, I see a Kayleigh Hall listed as sound assistant in the credits. I assume this is your daughter. Tell her she and the others, especially my old pal Nicky Briggs, did an excellent job on this recreation!!
Finally more Doctor Who in 2019!
It was about time . Probably the only doctor who we are getting this year . Still it puts the standards for chibnall really high and we all know he's standard for who since 1986
yes it was a great surprise
And good Doctor Who too.
Cybermanalf What about big finish.
Jamie King Surprise? This was announced months ago,
I see someone's clicked "dislike" 15 minutes before it even premieres. That's Fandom for you!
No-one hates Doctor Who more than a Doctor Who fan lol.
@@_fesh So sadly true.
@@Elwardicus I'm quite sure Michael McGrath is the one who clicked dislike; he hates everything and everyone.
bang on hahaha
LAMBERT MUST GO
Must’ve taken ages to paint everything black and white.
Or maybe that was a post-processing effect. Hm, I guess we'll never know.
na just as long as painting everything in different colors
I'm doing that to my face right now,
_"Well, de Camptown ladies sing dis song, doodah doodah. Ah, the Camptown race track's five miles long, oh doo-dah day!"_
They used a reproduction of the original recording studio.
David Liu y’all can’t tell he’s joking and it really shows
When fans give you Doctor Who in 2019 and the BBC doesn't.
Why do I see you on everything I watch: Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Doctor Who...
@@peylix-ohm4701 nerds of a feather flock together.
@@emdiar6588 What?
@@peylix-ohm4701 It's a pun or paraphrasing of the English saying 'birds of a feather flock together', (meaning people of the same type tend to associate with each other) in answer to your question of why you keep seeing horaciosi on videos you watch.
What's not to understand?
@@emdiar6588 That's what I understood from your comment, just wanted to check if I wasn't wrong.
When I heard about this I thought this is going to be quite amateur and a bit embarrassing but this is absolutely brilliant these actors are fantastic Beautifully filmed of the era and the editing the music fantastic set designs great
It helps that productions of the era were quite.... minimalist
I love how they didn't make it with new graphics/technology. As it it was made in the 1960s.
My thoughts exactly. A pleasant surprise.
Peter Purvis was on hand to make sure it was done right. They used some of the original sound track and a reproduction of the original recording studio.
@@jonathanday3584 It couldn`t have been better, Great piece of work by all.
Such a beautiful labour of love to the Hartnell Era, everything about this recreation is so authentically 60s. Acting and set design impeccable, reviving the source material when it was long thought gone to make an incredibly worthy substitute to the real thing. Tons of thanks and appreciation to everyone who worked on this, this is certainly something to be extraordinarily proud of! :)
@Myke Vision Nope, it's from the 3rd and last full season of Hartnell's run. It was very well done!
Unbelievable. That's as near perfect as I thnik it's possible to get. Everythnig from the lighting to the clipped accents to the acting style. What a triumph. I hope the BBC take note. This proves it's possible to remake it. I'm speechless.
An episode without the Doctor or original companions, yes. Easy. An episode where someone tries to replace Hartnell, Susan, Ian and Barbara? Might not be as easy to recreate. It'd be like having Richard Hurndall or David Bradley portraying Hartnell. They did a good job but it'll never be the same.
This episode has no Doctor, no Companions and no Tardis. I doubt that it could be done that easily with the main cast participating in the action.
It looks so good because the kids made it with assistance from the original stars of the original version and also with Nicholas Briggs. That'd be like if someone from your university group remade Heaven Sent with the assistance of Peter Capaldi.
They didn't do a very good good of reproducing the set. In typical modern style they tried to update it, rather than sticking to the basic set design of the 60's.
Better than anything with Jodies Doctor. Not her fault though, poor writing and a cardboard cast. Shame its all gone to pot.
Not just a stunning recreation of a legendary lost episode but a stunning recreation of the 60’s tv style. The temptation is always to pep it up a bit but this team has remained true to the feel of the era. I hope everyone involved is justly proud of their work 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you, means a lot
I agree ... but it would have been nice to have made it in color!
I don't care if this is a remake, that episode was amazing.😄 I'm giving all of the actors a very loud clap.👏
Perhaps there are some very naughty women out there who can give these actors the clap as well...
@@blackwoodrichmore4531 rly?
Plus the original is nowhere to be found so this is the closest we’ll get to the episode.
I like that William hartnell was credited like I’m the original episode
Well naturally, he was a big cog in the show's success and if it wasn't for his magic touch, the show wouldn't have been as successful as it was. Not to mention that it was in his contract to have a credit in the show regardless of appearance.
Not sure why Jodie received a credit though? What did _she_ do?
Well, it was due to BBC policy at the time: the main star of the show always had to be credited, even if he/she were absent for an episode
It was in William Hartnell's contract that he would be credited whether or not he appeared in the episode.
They did the same thing for the Troughton era
@@crackerscheese33 Well William Hartnell is generally ranked low in doctor rankings because his writing didn't reach the heights of other doctors. He only ranks above Collin Baker, Jodie Whitaker, John Hurt and Paul Mcgann.
This makes me realize just how much I wish the New Series would return to the claustrophobic forest vibe (full with distant jungle noises) with some other planet. Also... we need Vargas again!
You are so right on about the forest and the Vargas! Now THIS is how whoever the hell owns Star Trek now should promote Star Trek Continues. And bloody well get some sense and start paying those people to make more! These kinds of retro productions are EXACTLY what so many of us Star Trek and Doctor Who fans want.
AND it's high time that these 1960s Daleks finally get their own spinoff, as Terry Nation clearly intended with Mission to the Unknown and what followed- a sort of Blake's Seven meets the 1960s TV Century 21 Dalek Chronicles comics I expect. Following the look of the latter would be a design master stroke. The Daleks in all their biological chemical nuclear genocidal racist horror have largely been wasted on Doctor Who, which is strongest when the horror element is strongest- a fact too often hampered by the show's family entertainment remit. Compare the Daleks of the original 1963 serial to their later incarnations and one sees that they have become caricatures.
영민이
I feel the same way about black and white and smaller ratios. It’s a whole medium of its own and restrictions produce more creativity.
Bring back villains. Bring back suspense and atmosphere.
The new series should return to a lot of classic who's style I do like new who but I find myself equally disliking it today for it's lack of atmosphere, and poor dialogue/ attempts at humour that distracts from the plot.
I completely agree, though the return to history episodes is a bright spot. But the 13th Doctor hasn't done any proper horror yet, alas.
Also- Doctor Who needs to bring back for more all of the wonderful aliens in the Galactic Council, but in particular Sentreal the evil Christmas tree. In the name of intergalactic security I need to know EVERYTHING about this alien and its civilization.
And while Nicholas Briggs is to be commended for bringing back some of the variety of voices the Daleks used to have in the 1960s- and I hope they keep them resurrected for the current show- the black Dalek completely flubbed its lines at the conference. In the script it clearly reads- "Iä! Iä! Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah-nagl fhtagn!!!".
21:40 I like how they even kept the fluffed line from the original when Marc announces himself as an agent of the “special security service” instead of “space security service”
This feels very authentic. Accents and delivery of the dialogue are spot on for the era.
James Cunningham The audio of the original episode was intact. No do it they used it as a template for how to deliver their lines.
This era of television is a lost art now. I call it "electronic theatre" because it owes far more to the stage than the cinema. The sheer amount of hard work they put into these productions is astounding. An entire 25 minute episode would be filmed _as live_ within the space of less than 2 hours
Some people laugh and sneer at the fact minor fluffs would be left in and the multi-camera setup means actions are never exactly perfect, but that's because editing a completed scene wasn't possible on videotape at the time. They could only chop off the start or the end of a take and because of the limited time they had in the studio a scene would only be remounted if it was completely unusable.
This is a reconstruction? It looks just like a proper episode!
As close as you can get to the real thing. If it hadn't been for me knowing that Brian Cant had played the pilot, you could have shown me this and told me it was the original.
The supreme Dalek has no eye pupil, the eyepiece is meant to be black not silver, it is meant to be silver in the middle section, not black and it is supposed to be matt black, not dusty thick glossy black. That is going to be a big glaring problem when people watch The Dalek's Master Plan in surviving episodes and reconstruction. And the fact it has no eye light or at least an eye circle, just a black silver eye stalk looks so awful, it doesn't cost much money to get that fixed.
Not a reconstruction, but a reproduction. There is no original footage in the video to be a reconstruction.
yes
@@MaskedMan66 I wouldn't expect someone to say they liked something that they really didn't, but the number of people that seem to think that there is a "white courtesy phone" just waiting for *_them_* to spew out their litany of complaints about this, that and the other is quite shocking, isn't it?
That was an incredible recreation. I am stunned by how they captured the look and feel of the original so well
I started watching this thinking it would be interesting at least. Having seen it I'm very impressed with the work everyone put into it and it honestly exceeded my expectations. It does look like a 60s episode, design, directing, acting and everything else about it. Great work all of you who worked on this. You should be proud of what you made.
Now all we need is the remaining nine missing episodes of Masterplan, reanimated, and we're all set. Great job guys. Fantastic!
On a related note, I still don’t understand how that atrocious Christmas Special that aired in the middle of this “Feast of Steven” didn’t get a reanimated collab video. I always thought that, out of all the lost episodes, this one which was infamous for how bad it was would be the most fun for online animators to work on with all those exaggerated moments and little Easter eggs the collaborators love to put on their segments when they don’t take it too seriously.
@@Popcultureguy3000 There was one done ages ago by Adam Bulloch. I don't know if it's been taken down but it was on TH-cam.
Some of Feast of Steven was also animated by me, Garrett Gilchrist, for Whosprites.
Popcultureguy3000 Feast of Steven doesn’t suck!!! It’s a nice relaxing episode in the middle of a mammoth story and I always find myself laughing at it 😂 IF THEY DON’T ANIMATE IT THEN I WILL CRY AND SCREAM ON TWITTER!!!
I don’t comment very often but I am very impressed with the whole production.
This is fantastic! A huge pat on the back to the University of Central Lancashire for making something we otherwise will probably never get to see! Props, lighting, effects, acting all spot on and accurate to that period of “Doctor Who” TV history. I’d love to see this style make a return to screens - more Classic Who!
Makes me proud to be an alumni
That genuinely felt like I was watching a Hartnell episode! Brilliant, well done to all involved, now BBC we need more missing episode recreations! Use David Bradly as Hartnell, along with the adventure in space and time cast! That would be brilliant!
In two years we’ll be able to use convincing deepfakes on looks, movement and voice.
The Confused Adipose I totally agree, I want The Daleks’ Masterplan starring David Bradley!
As much as I enjoyed David Bradley's performance, I think they should get actor, Nickolas Grace for the First Doctor, he resembles and sounds a lot more like him than Bradley does. He was in that short Dr Who special with Matt Smith. Link below... jag-london.com/media/zoo/images/nicholas-grace-profile-2_c1371be01e37cabab85743ae1898750c.jpg
@@MaskedMan66 Wrong. My suggestion is adequate for this thread, unlike your unspecified and irrelevant comment.
@@MaskedMan66 Wrong again, I was referring to the opening post in this thread as they referenced the BBC if they were to use the First Doctor again.
seriously, someone actually gave this a thumbs down
well done to all involved, that was absolutely amazing.
The episode or the thumbs down?
Thumbs down was added even before the episode started. Lol
Well done to everyone involved absolutely brilliant.
Would be great if released as a special dvd release in aid of Children in Need.
I bet that they are "New Who" fans and have no understanding of the original series.
@@jpopphan Most likely "New-Wave New-Who" fans that have hopped on board due to recent changes.
Just amazing. The amount of effort and love that went into this is obvious. Everyone involved should be very, very proud of themselves.
P.S. Anyone who gave this a thumbs down should just be ashamed of themselves.
18:23
In this episode, humans on a space ship attempt to prevent themselves being killed by others who look indistinguishably human, while completing tasks to repair their ship and send a distress alert.
There is a hostile presence among us
NOT AMONG US
Holy cow! When the Dalek rolled out of the shadows in their first scene, it was hard to remember that this video is only a recreation and not the real deal! Incredible work.
Wouldn't mind seeing other lost episodes reconstructed tbh
100% AGREE
Oh yeah
This was fine because none of the main cast were in it.
@@Adam-nb6im Well, we still got David-Bradly!
Same here but I want to see them do a voice sync
This is a big moment in doctor who history
Is it? It's a fan film. Going a tad OTT there...
@@codyw1 this episode has been lost for 56 years that longer than my mum has existed let the me be excited it's not an animated it's reacted to be fair they didn't need to recast the 1st doctor again the university has done a great job this is probably the best we are going to get in a long time unless they find in warehouse in Nigeria but that is unlikely also I didn't say it's not the biggest moment in dw history it's a big moment so yeah also look at comments everyone is kinda exited so yeah if you're disappointed I'm sorry i understand that it's not a full original episode but that is the hard truth but it might be found never doubt that but for now I rest my case
@@EchoSeeker19 I'd been intrigued by this episode and now feel like I've seen it properly. The pilot actually reminded me of Brian Cant, the original pilot.
@@EchoSeeker19
The original of this also set the stage for The Daleks' Master Plan (which may have been the longest B&W story in TV history), and introduced what would later be identified as the Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire.
This remake of Mission to the Unknown is brilliant! Would be great if they remade more missing Doctor Who episodes like this.
Yes, though this would have been the easiest story to recreate since it's just one single episode, and the original cast are absent.
They've replicated the look of 60s Who so well, not just on the technical side but also with the performances, sets and costumes.
A phenomenal experience to work on! Such a relief that it’s finally out and we can properly talk about it with the fans of the show and it’s so good seeing that the fan reactions are really great!
Thank you so much for making this, it means a lot to us Whovians! You’re a legend!
This is truly an exceptional recreation of Mission To The Unknown. The acting, set design, music all shot so authenticity made this a real treat to watch and is a real testament to all concerned. This episode is better than some modern BBC Doctor Who episodes.
My flatmate Marco Simioni is brilliant isn’t he🔥😂
"The Daleks will return."
Does that mean we're getting a release of "The Daleks' Master Plan" in some form in the near future?
Honestly- I wrote out all those credits, and then because Marc Cory is based partially on James Bond, I thought I'd write something at the end which is like the "James Bond will return" line that the Bond films used to use, so as this is a teaser ep for DMP I thought "The Daleks Will Return" was a nice thing to end on! But..... a production of DMP would be great. This is a pilot, really, see what the interest is, and who knows what may develop in the future. It would be great, if possible.
Or that was there in the original episode.
Andrew Ireland that’d be amazing. Excellent work.
@@andrewireland9061 Ooh, if you did a Dalek's Master Plan, I'd love to be a part of that, even if it were being a Dalek victim! :D
@@adamhickey396 you could be one of the mice they teleport in episode 5 haha
Very, very good. I saw this go out and it frightened the crap out of me, I was 7 at the time. It's been sitting in my memory for years and everyone I ever mentioned it to had no idea what I was talking about. Guys, you did a brilliant job
Huge congratulations to the staff and the students who recreated this gem. Really quite proud to be a Doctor Who fan. Sometimes I love this community!
Hooray, it can be a force for such good, we should make sure it is always striving for that.
This is absolutely AMAZING! Congratulations University of Central Lancashire and all involved! I can't believe I watched it live, WHAT A MOMENT!
This is incredible. It truly feels like a 1960s Doctor Who! A massive massive well done to everyone involved. I've hoped and hoped to see this from the moment I've heard about it and I'm not disappointed in the slightest. Thank you again to everyone involved.
The Cast and Crew at WHO, Sci-fi Films are loving the BBC for making sure this amazing University work gets the credit it deserves, well done to everyone involved! You're fantastic!
Brilliantly done. The crisp HD camera is the only downside. I recommend watching at 240p as the grainy look enhances that 1960s feel.
Lmao
I am impressed and I watched the original 54 years ago. An excellent remount by UCLAN. Congratulations to you all.
David Sugden really you did. Did you record any that we’re missing?
And so did I as an 8 year old and it is very authentic triggering hidden fear of the Vargas! Marvellous.
@@michaelsegal7443 Sadly not. If only!

We only hope

Wouldn't have the budget.
Although Disney probably wouldn't let the rights out to anyone now.
@@wispa1aDisney does not own the rights to the show they simply own the rights to streaming outside of the UK. The rights remain with the BBC and for the Daleks with the Terry Nation estate.
@@cousinmonachpsis5707
So Disney has the right to distribute everything Dr who globally?
They are not going to let a competitor have a finger in the pie.
The only way this could be more authentic is if they accidentally wiped the tape.
HEH
but ''accidently''
We don't want THAT level of authenticity.....😂
Classic who live action recreations are such a marvellous idea! This captured the vibe and atmosphere of a 60’s story so well. Wonderful stuff :)
This is such an excellent recreation. The whoever worked on the sound recording have captured it perfectly it sounds authentic, it looks authentic. The acting seems perfect.
Behold, the very first ever Doctor lite episode ever, a historic moment for any fans of Blink out there.
technically not. Two episodes of the Keys of Marinus did not feature the Doctor, as did late odd episodes
certainly the first full story, but calling it a full story is pushing it a bit due to its connection to The Daleks' Master Plan (being a prelude)
A much more accurate Doctor-lite would be the Massacre, where the Doctor disappears halfways through episode one and doesn't return until halfway through episode four
Classic Doctor Who has been off my radar for years because I got totally fed up with all the teasing online rumours about discovered missing episodes (resulting no recovered episodes for 10 years). Just found out this recreation exists and I have to say it is incredible! It really looks like the real thing from the 60's! From the acting to the design to the picture quality to the mono soundtrack to the use of camera and cutting! Absolute perfection! 👏
The recons have been splendid. Then again I can hear an audio book with voice acting and be enthralled. Marco polo was real nice.
Excellent - pretty much as I remember it - I was almost 19 when it originally aired :-)
I hope that this team does more of these. This was excellent and for those of us who academically research the Doctor Who series, I want to say that this is an amazing bit of work. Well done. On behalf of the Earthbound TimeLords and the Missing Scripts Project -- Well done and this was FANTASTIC!
Amazing! Absolutely amazing! I started watching the classic series as a child during Tennant’s tenure to fully immerse myself in all things Who. I’ve always been disappointed that many of Hartnell’s and most of Troughton’s episodes are lost, but this production gives me hope for more recreations in the future. Congrats to UCLan from this filmmaker to the cast and crew for a job well done.
Slightly over half of Troughton's episodes survive actually
66 out of 119
Thanks to the Web of fear and enemy of the world recovery in 2013
This looks and feels like something out of the Hartnell era! Wish you could do the REST of The Dalek Master Plan!
Now if you can get David Bradley to play the first Doctor and recreate some of the other Episodes that are gone. At least you did get Nicholas Briggs to do the Dalek voices.
Nicholas Briggs mostly performs with his usual Dalek voice from the new series. But I do admire how he actually tries to impersonate more of Peter Hawkins and David Graham's performances as the Daleks in the jungle.
Can't believe the Beeb didn't remake any of the lost classics after they'd assembled a cast and made sets for An Adventure in Time and Space.
I hope this at least gets a DVD release - even if it's as an extra feature on another title.
James Cunningham because money
honestly. i'd rather they put more effort into finding the originals.
that was never intended to be a cast to actually play the characters, just the actors, some of them for only a few minutes
I feel this maybe on the face less ones extras since it just makes sense for that to happrn
@@TheWeepingDalek I'd rather they put the effort into the animations. I don't understand this desire on the part of some fans to see impersonators playing the 1st and 2nd Doctor and their companions. I find it bizarre.
I would have no idea this was a recreation if I didn't already know. Exceedingly well done!
Long time Who fan here (born in the Troughton era). Just finished watching this, and it is fantastic. I love the decision to keep it in black and white. It captures the feel of episodes from the era perfectly.
One very minor quibble: the production values exceed those of the time, which, while being a quibble, is not a negative one. It appears this project had a budget far in excess of any from that era of Doctor Who.
To all those who worked on this, you should be very proud of what you have accomplished. It makes the possibility of recreating all the lost episodes a very real thing.
@@Super_Mario128 but it was low budget
don't deny that
it had the budget of any other BBC drama, sci fi or not
Star Trek, despite people laughing at how it looks now, had something like 10 times the budget that Doctor Who had
Classic Who was definitely low budget, but that does not mean it was not good! Even in the Tom Baker era, sets were frequently made up of flexible hoses, and bubble wrap, but that did nothing to diminish the quality of the stories that were told.
waterfieldV I don’t get the “one of those ‘fans’ “ insinuating he’s not a fan because he thinks that old dr who was low budget. What a silly thing to say.
Thank you. I really enjoyed that. It seemed to speed by. I like the way you caught the atmosphere of the planet with minimal sets etc. Felt like I was part of it and involved with the adventure. Cheers!
Ok I love this, if a colour version was ever released I'd be blown away but I already am blown away so it's all good
Nothing wrong with black and white.
@@flaggerify nothing wrong with colour either. But a colour version would be nice too (especially because I love the 60s dalek colour schemes.)
@@alicec1533 Adding "colour" doesn't make it in colour. Go watch the Cushing films if you want that.
@@flaggerify ? "Adding" colour? The black and white is a digital effect here.
It's a re-creation, so black and white is how it should be. Color would ruin it.
18:23 "among us." "NOT AMONG US!"
My meme! 😄
I don't care if this is a recreation, this should be on DVD.
Back to watch this again. Still think its excellent!
This is so great. I wouldn’t mind seeing more episodes recreated like this one.
I watched this last night and although it said recreation, I had no idea that it wasn’t the original episode. Absolutely astonishing, well done all who made this. Extremely authentic feel about it, the acting, the set, the whole thing was so genuine.
Brilliant! Hope there's more of this sort of thing!
Honestly, I'm astounded. I sat on my bed in the dark watching this, as per my usual routine when watching classic who, and it just felt so natural. I'd love to see the next episode remade! I had the pleasure to see some production shots (and a stray TARDIS among some art) at UCLAN the other week and it really got me hyped. I wasn't disappointed.
Thank you to all the people involved in making this 💕
That was great! anyone complaining about the effects, it's a recreation of a classic episode that's how they were then lol
Michael Pruden precisely. This team’s budget was probably much higher than the original BBC one! 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine how amazing it would be to remake season 3 that has a majority of its stories missing like they did with Dads Army and then have it transmitted on BBC over how many weeks it needs. The daleks master plan recreated... David Bradley facing off against the war machines (yes I know it's a non-missing story but it would be cool to see David Bradley doing the cool walk up towards the war machine)
WTF... Why? Bradley was TERRIBLE. You've got the original...
... I officially give up. I do not understand modern fandom at all...
@@codyw1 the original is fantastic, it's just a way to experience the missing stories, like they did with dad's army. Calm down...
codyw1 debate over. Because Cody doesn’t like David Bradley the entire idea has been cancelled
This was amazing! Well done to everyone involved! You got the feel so perfect and brought the fandom back together to honor this episode exactly 54 years later! Thank you! :D
It's far from being all over... roll on #DoctorWho! I haven't seen this episode since its reconstruction by 'Loose Cannon Productions' many years ago. Going to be exciting!
I love this so much. Thank you all for recreating this classic
This is amazing work! The lighting and camera work is spot on!!
Oh, that was BRILLIANT..!!! So well observed,- every little detail and glitch of the original episode faithfully re-enacted and portrayed. I completely get why the BBC / Official Doctor Who channel endorses this project.
Hopefully, when The Dalek's Master Plan is finally reconstructed and released on DVD, this live-action version of 'MissionTo The Unknown' will be included as a viewing option alongside the inevitable animated reconstruction. It truly merits preservation as a part of the BBC's own efforts to complete the 'Classic Era' through filling in the missing episodes.
This is the one where they turn into Varga plants? Remember watching it as a kid
Spoilers
This is really good. I can remember watching this stand alone episode when first broadcast. A remarkable reconstruction!!
That’s fantastic work , feels just like that Who’s era, film and sound. Bravo.
This was fantastic. The cast and crew did an amazing job in recreation of this lost episode. Hope we see more. Well done everyone involved.
An amazing job people. Glad to have watched this episode live. It definitely has a very "Rogue One" aspect to it, great minds and all this. Keep up the good work!
A big congratulation to all involved
This university rocks!!
When the season 3 blu-ray finally materializes this MUST be on it!
Yeah hopefully they find a way of reconstructing Daleks Master Plan to go with it.
outstanding work...... thank you so much from the bottom of my heart
A massive Thank You and Congratulations to the University of Central Lancashire for putting this together! Well done everyone! Also a massive Thank You to the BBC for giving them their blessing and support! Fans of this amazing show and storytelling and TV production in-general need to be allowed to express themselves creatively either with reconstructions or original spin-off stories set within the universe of Doctor Who as long as they are made with nothing but absolute love and respect for the legacy of this show that's been built across 50+ years! I'm incredibly happy that the BBC have allowed "Mission to the Unknown" to go ahead! IMHO it was a massive success and I truly hope that this will mark the beginning of more fan productions getting the BBC's support!
Lovely comments Alan. I am so proud to have played a small part in this and have to say I loved every minute of being involved in it, from its inception through to watching it tonight. It was a tremendous team effort that brought staff, students, graduates together. So pleased you enjoyed it!
@@alisonwolstenholme6070 Thank you so much for the reply Alison! Definitely enjoyed watching it and I'm glad to hear that you had an enjoyable time being involved! After so many years of listening to "Mission to the Unknown" and to now see it realised on screen...wow! It was just immaculate! All that team effort certainly paid off and I thank you for the part you played in it all! You and your team have all been firmly incepted into the lore of Doctor Who now you realise! You're part of a 50+ year production history family and that will never go away! The "Mission to the Unknown" entry on the TARDIS Data File wikia page is going to include the men and women of the University of Central Lancashire forever! No pressure or anything. Heehee. ;)
Wherever you go from here I wish you and everyone else involved with "Mission to the Unknown" 2019 nothing but the very best of wishes in their future endeavours! May your future missions not be too unknown! :)
Nice Job.
I feel like the BBC missed a trick a few years ago. I'd have secretly filmed a modernized version of The Tenth Planet story while the cast and set were around for Twice Upon a Time, then released it as a surprise New Year's Day special.
what's the point
why modernise it?
why ruin it?
@@Yetaxa Because it's incomplete.
@@Hardbody217 One episode, which has been animated. And with the voices of the actual actors. Not cosplayers.
@@codyw1 That one episode that's missing is, arguably, the most important episode in the series. Plus, I'd hardly call David Bradley a cosplayer. All I was suggesting was a one off special. It doesn't erase or negate William Hartnell.
@@Yetaxa No-one is suggesting modernising it. Nothing in this episode looked modern at all. And nothing was ruined. The point is that more people will watch and enjoy live action than listen to a grainy soundtrack - it's the same point behind animating the stories.
Excellent work! Fantastic episode! Thank you!
That was pretty amazing. It certainly felt like an actual episode from the series. Excellent work by everyone involved.
The cast and crew of Doctor Who Velocity are stoked for this! Congrats to our old uni lecturer Andrew Ireland and co for creating this and the BBC for supporting them! :) Well done! xxx
fantastic perfect
This was impressive, most impressive
Great episode!!!! Thank you for bring it back !!!!!
Excellent production. Well worth watching. Thanks for your efforts
It is as if I were watching the original episode. Acting is correct to the period, the set design is brilliant and the camera work is on point. Brilliant work from those students!
Oh, and I love the Christmas tree alien! :D
brilliant reconstruction, feels like i am watching the original episode when i see this. My only criticism is that there should have been a dedication to verity lambert as the original episode was her last story as producer for the series. Overall, a brilliant recreation.
This was brilliant! Thank you to everyone involved for recreating the opener to one of the best stories ever perfectly!
I couldn't be more amazed by how authentic it turned out. Extremely faithful to the original production, capturing the essence of the 1960s (in black and white), this is truly one of the best recreations I have ever seen. Bravo to all the cast and crew involved! BRAVO!! 👏
What an incredible homage to the original prequel. Surely, this MUST form part of the animation box set of The Daleks' Masterplan? We must lobby the BBC!
Right lets get it on DVD, it was awesome.
DVD’s a bit of a dead platform, don’t ya think?
@@SamuraiBonesie They may be phasing out, but a lot of people have a large classic collection on DVD so would be cool to fill that gap! 😊
Why not Ian Levine's animation of it? Unlike his other animationd, his version of mission to the unknown actually looked like an official animation and it had a bunch of interviews and special features from the original cast and crew
@@SamuraiBonesie No, not at all...
Great stuff - Thank you to all involved.
Absolutely beautiful work! Congratulations to all involved. Loved it!
I remember Edward de Souza from 'The Spy Who Loved Me' The lead actor is very good.
And 'The Man' in the final assignment of Sapphire & Steel. Good actor. The guy playing him here did very well. Great production - well done.
@@alistairnattrass2747 He was very convincingly sinister in Sapphire & Steel.
Quite impressed!!! I enjoyed seeing this live action recreation. Very well done and looks spot on 60's tv. I hope this gets released on dvd. Hopefully Daleks Master Plan can be found/animated/recreated soon!!!
This was beyond brilliant! WOW!💙💙
*Please release this on DVD/BD!!!*
Sweet serendipity!. Thankyou.
Brilliant!
Congratulations to everyone involved in this project, Firsts all round!
Thanks Nigel.

Received English, props, pace, acting, classic visual effects (that's old CGI for the youngsters).
This was a wonderful recreation and an new addition to the Who Universe.
Thanks folks!
