Doctor Who (1963) 3.04 Extras (Part 1)

The Daleks' Master Plan Documentary
created and narrated by Josh Snares
42 minutes

Josh Snares goes through the prequel and all twelve episodes of the Daleks' Master Plan. Only three of the episodes (2, 5, 10) are known to still exist but there are sound recordings of all 12+1 episodes. Clips of scenes from those 3 episodes plus other clips which exist from other episodes that no longer in their entirety are included in this documentary. Clips from Loose Cannon's recreations of the missing episodes are also included in this documentary.

Snares covers a number of topics including:
  • how two writers collaborated to write this story
  • the reasons for killing off Katarina and the filming of her death scene
  • the role Sara Kingdom plays in the story
  • last minute changes to the script
  • the attempt to make a Christmas themed episode in the midst of this story
  • how to experience this "lost" story

Thoughts

This is not the first of Josh Snares videos I have watched on his YouTube channel. I have been curious about this Doctor Who story and this video whets my appetite. I may just buy the Lost in Time DVD and watch the Loose Cannon recreations. It doesn't look great but I want to at least give it a try.
