We all know that Doctor Who fans are obsessed by missing episodes; it’s fair to say that a fair few of us are particularly hung up on Dalek stories that are lost. Over the years we’ve had various attempts to reconstruct The Daleks’ Master Plan, and thanks to Rick Lundeen we even released our own charity graphic novel.

This should come as no surprise. After all, it was a 12 part story of which, sadly, only three remain.

This past weekend, previously-unseed test antimation for The Daleks’ Master Plan was released on YouTube by Niel Bushnell, one of the test reel’s animators. This video was produced (by Chris Chapman) to see how feasible it might be to reconstruct the serial as a mostly animated DVD released, but the proposal was ultimately shelved. In its place, however, was reconstructed release of The Ice Warriors, animated by the same team.

We think it’s pretty good, and while it was good to get The Ice Warriors, wouldn’t it be superb to get The Daleks’ Master Plan in this format (omnirumour explosion notwithstanding)?
