THE first episode of a fan-made re-imagining of lost Doctor Who story The Power of the Daleks has been released online.
The unofficial remake of the 1966 Patrick Troughton adventure has been produced by the same team responsible for successful stage versions of other missing classic Who stories including Evil of the Daleks and The Dalek Masterplan, with support from TNT films.
The production features Nick Scovell as the Doctor, reprising the role some 15 years after his debut as the Time Lord in acclaimed 1997 fan production “The Millennium Trap”, and guest stars Barnaby Edwards, Nick Briggs and Lisa Bowerman. Music has been provided by regular Big Finish Productions composer Martin Johnson.
Episode two of the three-part remake will be released online on July 14, followed by the final installment in September.
There will be a chance to see all three episodes together as a high-definition ‘movie’ version (with added post-production effects) at special charity convention Power: Reimagined, taking place in Fareham on September 1, 2012. Confirmed guests include the Doctor Who Restoration Team, Michael Troughton and Anneke Wills, who appeared in the original Power of the Daleks serial as companion Polly.
Tickets are available now and proceeds will go to Cancer Research UK and Children In Need. For more information visit www.power-convention.co.uk or the Power of the Daleks Facebook Page.

very cool
I thought it is too much like the new series. It does not resemble the 1960s Doctor Who at all.
Why should it resemble the 1960s version? I have seen every Dr Who episode in it’s first run, including The Power Of The Daleks. I think it’s right to have remade it in this way. We’re never going to replicate the original version anyway.
I think this is an excellent piece of work, well worth a DVD release.
