Missing Episodes and Clips

A great new feature at the official BBC Doctor Who website is the Photonovel section. As they say on the site, the photonovels are "missing Doctor Who adventures lovingly recreated with words, pictures and whatever else we could get our hands on".

The pictures are the John Cura "Telesnaps", superbly re-scanned and reproduced here, and if you don't know what they are there's a fascinating article giving more information. Also look out for the interview with Marcus Hearn, the man who discovered the telesnaps, he's also the clever bloke who scanned them all so beautifully.

They plan to present a new episode every Friday and have started with Fury From the Deep, The Abominable Snowmen is to follow. Two absolute classics and a must for every fan of the black and white era.

Well done BBC, the site just keeps getting better and better! [view]
