The Power of the Daleks will be available digitally through the BBC Store on November 5, followed by a UK DVD on November 12.
The good news is that, thanks largely to obsessive Who fans, audio recordings of all the episodes have survived.
The BBC has announced that it is using “original audio recordings, surviving photographs and film clips” to put together a fully-animated version of The Power of the Daleks, a multi-part series that aired only once on BBC One, 50 years ago.
“The Power of the Daleks animation is the most ambitious Doctor Who archive restoration ever attempted and we’re all very honored to be a part of such an exciting project.
