Bought and paid for from Amazon now. Would rather be giving my money to the BBC shop but this is the first Who release since they closed They were always great for delivering Who a few days early too. Oh, I'm sure it'll reopen once they realise how much money they are inevitably losing. Nope. Bear in mind they still make money on the Amazon sales and save money in not needing there own infrastructure. Companies outsource like this all the time. Every sale on BBC Store by comparison is almost free money.

I wish they'd at least sell some physical items on the BBC Store.

Having pondered on this news for a while I've concluded my overall response is sadness. I now accept that Power of the Daleks is lost forever, which is so sad.
An animation is nice and I will buy it, but now I know the subtleties of Troughton's performance, for example, are lost forever. Animation just doesn't engage me the same way. I loved the Moonbase animations on first viewing but in repeat viewings I find I stop watching and just slip into listening to the audio.

I just view it as a new Doctor Who cartoon that happens to be a reconstruction of a missing episode with an audio recording of the episode.

I'm so hyped for this. As I said, I've already paid for my copy of the DVD but what I'm also going to do, I think, is buy episode 1 on release at the BBC store to chip in support for more animation and, more aptly...because I'm an impatient bugger. November 21st is going to be insane for me - in one glorious day I get Power Of The Daleks on DVD, Criterion's new release of Paul Thomas Anderson's Punch Drunk Love and the BFI 5 hour cut of Abel Gance's Napoleon - which has been lost about 35 years longer than Power Of The Daleks. I smell a sickie coming on...

I'm late to the party over here but I'm really looking forward to this. kimalysong, I wouldn't be surprised if the folks at LI Who add the viewing of this on the 12th as part of the schedule. I have to say, though, that I have a fear that the DVD release is quickly going to go the way of all Classic Doctor Who here in the states. That the price with be doubled and they will let it go out of print within the year.

That BBC America broadcast will be quite a running length, two and a half hours for the story and how many minutes for adverts over that time? Hopefully un-edited, then!

Will they be editing them all together like they did for the Tom Baker marathon and Doctors Revisited, or will they be airing the episodes one at a time?

Let's hope it sells enough to warrant more.

You probably need to ask BBC America this question

You probably need to ask BBC America this question Does anyone know how long ahead they publish their listings? I can't imagine it'll be for a while yet. They do have history for editing some omnibus material out and - even worse - speeding up Nu- Who broadcasts that were a minute or so too long, which I believe they stopped a few years ago.

Unfortunately the reason why US stations do that is there are requirements for commercial length so stuff has to be speed up and cut. And BBC America is definitely no where near as bad as PBS (which is the channel that airs Sherlock here). Broadcast generally has to fit into 1/2 hour slots too. But perhaps they are taking into account the fact that this is 6 episodes and the number of commercials and making the broadcast time extra long. It's also a one off special so it's probably easier to add an extra 1/2 hour to the broadcast than with a weekly series.

I rather suspect that if a Region 1 DVD was announced, a lot of fans would rather wait and see an uncut speed-corrected version of the piece even if it meant waiting a couple more weeks. But, untill that's announced who knows if that's even an option?

My hope for BBCA's broadcast is each episode aired with commercials between the cliffhangers. But that would be smart. Going off other classic airings, it'll be 5 minutes of story followed by 10 minutes of commercials.

I remember back when I was a kid, my local PBS station aired all of the Pertwee episodes (except Day and Planet of the Daleks for some reason) uncut.
