Said it before and will say it again - if you’re a Doctor Who fan and AREN’T subscribed to Josh’s channel, you are missing a LOT. The missing episodes omnibus is worthy of putting on a DVD. Well-researched, smart, wonderfully edited and Josh just comes across as a good dude. Fantastic work!

My dad attempted to redo the CGI at one point, as well as colourising it (before it was colourised). He has the same opinion.

Season 2 is my favourite Hartnell season, and The Time Meddler is one of my all-time favourites overall. The entire Hartnell era radiates a charm that few other programmes or eras within the show manage to recreate to its fullest. I am stoked about this set. Can't wait.

The reconstruction instead of animation is a big let down. I am just guessing, but I think the reason BBC America pulled out of funding the animations is because the ratings in America fell off the cliff. AMC Networks is part owner of BBC America, and no matter how hard they pushed the new show, the ratings never bounced back. That in turn lowered interest in the animations, and they were not getting their return on investment. RTD needs to turn around the new show or funding for releases of the classic show will eventually dry up.

The fact The Crusade is seemingly being left as is really kills my hopes for ever seeing a Troughton Blu-Ray set, which is a shame because I'd love to have more of my favorite classic doctor on the shelf. Maybe if the season 2 set does well the rest of the black and white era will get more of a recon budget? Hopefully?

I just watched this title on Blu-ray (NTSC) and the visuals are great, but there is considerable haloing or ringing on edges apart from close-up views. I'm just wondering if something can be done to reduce this.

When it was announced, despite my excitement I did get the feeling that something was missing and I feel like this video really helps identify why. I'm happy with that is on it though and in my opinion Season 2 is the peak of William Hartnell's era, if not the whole of Doctor Who in the 60s, so I'm looking forward to it. Something I've only started to appreciate recently on these sets are the pieces of convention footage, so seeing Adrienne Hill and Michael Craze will appear in this set's convention footage made me more excited than it probably should've. I feel like they're about as close as you get to "forgotten" actors involved with the show (within the main cast), so any spotlight on them is great.

I was 6 when the first Doctor Who was broadcast and the show immediately became my favourite despite needing to peep between my fingers during the scary bits - which was often! Really looking forward to seeing these stories again.

Don’t forget, though, even if we did have the original studio tapes, that wouldn’t be much help for a 5.1 surround sound track, as the music and sound FX were still played into the studio under all the dialogue (which is why you sometimes get them misplaced/miscued, especially near complicated scene change points). (That being said, the Tristram Cary-scored stories could still have the music elements done more easily than the others, as he did keep almost all his tapes.) TL;DR The dialogue literally could never be available separately from the music and sound FX as they’re both baked into the same audio track.

Davison and Fielding are the Waldorf and Statler on Behind the Sofa. They're so great! Thanks for calling that out! I agree, I think if this set had all the bells and whistles, it would be far more expensive than other sets.

I live in the UK & am a Flight Attendant. Every time I visit Sydney I go to JB Hi-Fi. In 2018 I picked up season 12 & it was sold out in the UK so that was fantastic.

I’m interested in this new Sound Mix for Dalek Invasion of Earth. Destiny was advertised to have something similar in the Season 17 Set and what they did for that was added new/more SFX & also added Tristram Cary’s original 1963 score for The Daleks to the story (along with Dudley Simpson’s original score for the story). What I think they’ll do (because Francis Chagrin’s score for The Dalek Invasion of Earth was so minimal & hardly there) is that they’ll do the same for The Dalek Invasion of Earth, which I approve as not only would that story benefit from a more creepy & fulfilling score but also Cary’s score for The Daleks is just really really good!

i did not think we whould get any of seasons 1 to 6 in these so this was a nice surprise i just wish they had animated the missing episodes from the storys that had them for the set that whould of been a nice extra for our first 60's doctor who release

I’m very excited to see the Hartnell set being released and being more comprehensive than I was expecting. I was honestly expecting The Crusade to not even be telesnaps but be the audio recordings used on the 1999 VHS release and the Lost in Time DVD which I would have completely understood. I’m also glad that despite being 9 stories we are getting a full in conversation with William Russell and full Behind the Sofa installments with Peter Purves, Carole Ann Ford, and Maureen O’Brien. I’m also okay with the black and white episodes not having a lot of new scans especially since they’re film recordings of videotape and probably isn’t as much they can do from a new scan than what they could do from the DVD scans, especially since the jump from VHS to DVD was already large jumps in quality for Doctor Who (especially pre 1976 Doctor Who)

Love this video Josh! Thanks for sharing your thoughts ❤️

Ordered this box set as soon as it was available. Really looking forward to adding this to my dr who collection row of boxsets. Glad to see you uploading new content again.

I’m always excited when a video gets posted!! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

An analysis of the next 60's Collection Box Set to be released. Season 5 will have only 4 missing episodes after The Abominable Snowmen animation is released, Episodes 1, 2, 4 & 5 of The Wheel in Space. Episode 1 was half animated, and can be seen on The Macra Terror special features. This would be the next logical release for the collection and Troughton's first. However if animation was to resume The Wheel in Space would be the next obvious choice. It being a popular story, a companion introduction and a Cyberman story, plus some assets from the already started animation. So possibly this will wait. Season 6 has only 5 episodes missing. Episodes 1 & 3-6 of The Space Pirates. But as this is not a popular story it was unlikely to be animated anytime soon even if the animation funding continued. Therefore I think this would be more likely next release. Plus it also has the most amount of original surviving episodes after Season 2, only missing 7 in total. Season 1 will be the next Hartnell release, no surprise there. It is only missing the 7 Episodes of Marco Polo. This could well be released next year for the 60th anniversary with a good reconstruction. However, Marco Polo appears to be the story for which missing episodes are likely to show up. This is due to the fact of so many copies made for international transmission. It is known that at least 6 missing episodes exist in private collections (as Philip Morris has said). Likely at least one of these is a Marco Polo episode, if not more. So possibly the BBC know of these and are awaiting a possible return. If this were not the case then Marco Polo would also be a likely candidate for animation should these resume. However, even if these are not returned or animated, Season 1 is likely not far behind, as after Season 2 and 6 it has the least amount of missing episodes, with 9. Season 4 would logically come after, as it is still missing 10 unanimated missing episodes. However these are not popular or well known episodes, being all 4 parts of The Smugglers, all 4 parts of The Highlanders, and episodes 1 & 4 of The Underwater Menace. None of these seem likely to have been animated even if this had continued at the current pace. Possibly The Highlanders however, as this was Jamie's introduction (and it is actually a good story too) but a pure historical (other than Marco Polo) is unlikely to attract much attention or demand sadly. Therefore I could see this season released as is, with its 10 unanimated missing episodes. (However this was a highly incomplete season with 33 of the 43 episodes missing. It is also the only season with not one complete story, so possibly they will not release such a animation heavy Season so soon, same could be said for Season 5, but to a lesser extent). Season 3 is by far the most incomplete season and likely to be the very last Collection Box Set released (unless they move to the Modern Series). It is missing 28 episodes, less than Season 4, but only Galaxy 4 has been animated. It is also unclear if the UCLAN remake of Mission to the Unknown could be included. However, taking that both of these are included then this season is still short 24 Episodes. Many of which have very little surviving material to even make decent telesnap reconstructions such as The Myth Makers and The Massacre (though both of these work great as soundtracks, I highly recommend The Myth Makers vinyl). Season 3 does however have a number of original complete stories, unlike Season 4. These are The Ark, The Gunfighters and The War Machines. The remaining stories would all be good and popular releases for animation, indeed I would not have expected Galaxy 4 before any of the others (bar The Savages). However with the uncertain future of Doctor Who animation it is unlikely that any of these would be top priority. I still doubt that they would release A Collection Box Set of Season 3 in it's current state however, and likely only would if there was no more animations/recoveries when this is the last set remaining. TLDR; To summarize, I believe the next likely release order for the 60's collection sets is: Season 6 Season 1 Season 5 Season 4 Season 3 Season 1 I do believe is likely for next year, but I do think a Troughton set will be released before another Hartnell. As with the leaks therefore I believe that the next 3 collection sets will be Season 20, Season 6, and Season 1. Remind me in December 2023 and see if I was correct.

Have you ever watched Out of the Unknown Josh? It's genuinely intelligent science fiction stuff and has some of that 60s low budget charm. It even has photographic reconstructions of three episodes, an incomplete episode and a script synced to surviving audio of one episode. Incredible boxset.

I kinda hope that not just DIOE gets enhanced sound.

But also acknowledge that even finding a place in a stereo mix from the limited audio that exists might be tricky / pricey to do.

Welcome back Josh

I've been avoiding the fandom for a while now. Particularly after big news after big news that's just nesting all the negativity like bacteria on Petri dish. It's 2017 all over again. So thank you so much for this video. Somehow re-ignite my excitement to the show again. I'm still gonna nerding in solitude for a while though, not constantly feeling that I need to debate/express my opinion to internet void seems a bit healthier for me.

Lovely content as always, Josh. Thanks. It occurs to me (as complete conjecture) that a) season 3 will be left until last as b) there is so little of it left - is it not the least represented season? And c) a small amount of budget might have been earmarked from each other boxset, in order to complete the (marketing-wise) unattractive sell of a largely missing season 3. Just my two pennies' worth.

I’m very excited for the set, personally! I’m unsure how it is in other places, but in America, the sets have a pretty substantial price drop after a few months, so I probably won’t purchase the set until then. Whenever it gets released, of course. We haven’t even got the Season 22 set yet; it comes out on October 18. So, I’ll probably get the Hartnell set a few days after the series 10 soundtrack gets released :P Love the video, as always! Hope your day is going well.

A very thoughtful observation on the series two box set.

My favorite classic doctor is John Pertwee one reason is I actually met John Pertwee back in the 80s and I really enjoyed talking to him he’s really a nice guy

It's pretty easy for me. Every time a box set comes out, i'll buy it. Because one day, i want to own every single episode on blu-ray.

So excited, I was afraid the b/w era might not be released. We all have our favorite Doctor, but at the core I love everything Doctor Who!! I agree my favorite part of these sets is the behind the sofa segments. I can't wait for it. My dream all 26 seasons released.

Just so glad to see a 60s collection at last. And love Lee Binding ' s art

I'm looking forward to this set as I think I've only seen around half of the stories in season 2.

Season 2 coming out 5th December here in the UK. Can't wait for mine to come through the post

I was so excited by the trailer, it had me hyped for this set. I’m a little disappointed there’s no CGI for The Chase but I get why. This will be the most episodes in a single set, so hopefully other sixties seasons might have some CGI. The extras look great, and I’m glad the budget was spent on new restorations of the two worst looking stories. Even if Season 3 gets nothing more done, it’s still more episodes than a McCoy season. Right now I’d be surprised if we even got recons because most stories don’t have telesnaps. The fan recons use a lot of non-BBC screengrabs that might be a nightmare to clear. I’m guessing it’ll be left to the end!

I can’t wait for this set. I love the sense of adventure throughout the whole Hartnell era it’s why it’s one of the best!

A William Hartnell collection is announced and Josh regenerates into the 8th Doctor!

Woah that hair it's fabulous 😍

Yeah, the lack of CGI on the Chase is a big shame. I'm hoping that the enhanced DIOE audio will be really effective (the trailer had a new laser sound effect for the Dalek saucer). The audio is very bare on this story - I'm hoping for more background atmospherics and foley effects to give weight to the settings. The Web Planet could probably do with it as well!

Thanks for that. This is my favourite season from all of Who, in my joint-favourite era (the other being McCoy's), and Hartnell is my favourite Doctor, so it potentially ticked all the boxes. I loved the Vicki Storyteller clip, and really glad it built on what was said about her post-TARDIS life in the audio _Frostfire_. If they'd animated the missing episodes of The Crusade it might have persuaded me to buy a bluray player at last!

13:04 - I find Telesnap reconstructions essentially knock 2-4 marks out of 10 off my enjoyment of a story if it’s more than about 1/3 of the story missing. Don’t get me wrong, I can still get the gist, but I find it hard to be invested. Take Evil of the Daleks. I did not get the fuss - and bear in mind, Troughton is my favourite Doctor - and thought it was alright. Then I saw the animation. Power is still my favourite Troughton Dalek story (one where I first watched the animation) but it’s a much much closer race than it used to be. Telesnap reconstructions are valuable but they are hard to watch sometimes.

Yeah, I’m much the same. Patrick pretty much landed as my least favourite Doctor by default simply because so little of his era survives to be watched. That being said, William is slowly replacing him now due to just how many PT-era animations we’ve been getting over the last few years. It’s Season 3 that’s the main issue now: We only have four intact stories from that entire run (Galaxy 4 [animated], The Ark, The Gunfighters and The War Machines), and there are so many cast/crew changes during that gap that it’s almost a completely different show once we can rejoin it. 😫

I betcha BBC is working on the Season 1 Boxset to be released next year around the time of the anniversary. Marco Polo will have a complete soundtrack with maybe stills from the show. I would love for Carole Ann Ford to do the promo for youtube recreating the role of Susan reflecting on what's happened to her since her days with the Doctor (she was last with him in the Death Zone).

You're an Aussie? I would never had guessed! Seriously though mate I love the accent. Ever since the long lost days of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo I've loved it

I just recently got my pre-ordered boxset of season 2 & I'm very impressed with it......I got it mainly because I've never seen any of Hartnell's work as the Dr & I'm looking forward to seeing 👀 it the more modern Dr Who seems to be to convoluted & not as well thought out as some of these classic era story arcs so? I'm not exactly holding my breath in anticipation for the newest incarnation of the Dr but? mebe I'm going to be pleasantly surprised only time will tell

I have the dvds, & I'mma hold out for animations of the couple lost eps.

Josh! Nice to see you back again! Excellent analysis as always. Will the set include the William Russell introductions to the episodes of the Crusades? They are on the VHS that I have and it was so nice to see him as an older Ian Chesterton, one of my favourite companions. My favourite part of the video were the fun facts for each episode from Season 2 and Season 24 that you included at the start. I noticed that the box for Paradise Towers was empty! As my Mom used to say, "If you can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!" Looking forward to the next one!

The Collection Boxset I have been most excited for by a long way. Cannot wait. :)

When i saw this was announced i was hyped, but the main reason I was a disappointed was that missing episodes where not found.And i was hoping that they would he in this season as the rumours,sadly they are not there.But thats a bit ask to much as its impossible to get them.I am holding back on buying this just in case they do find the missing episodes and release it.Anyhow good review love ya videos been watching you for a long tim keep it up.
