Hello again.
Loved the Power of the Daleks animation. I'd like to see all the Lost Who animated. The animation means you get a better idea of how the story originally looked
I enjoyed the audio soundtracks, indeed, that and the Target novelisations probably mean I will find the TV version lacking. That said, I really enjoyed Power of the Daleks and managed to pick up a very cheap secondhand The Invasion and found the animation ok.
My list of must animate: Hartnell: Marco Polo The Crusade Daleks' Masterplan (2 parts?) The Massacre
Troughton: The Highlanders The Macra Terror The Faceless Ones The Evil of the Daleks Fury from the Deep

I'd just like to add my voice to those calling the decision to do yet another version of "Shada" as very very silly.
Look, if you're going to do this, why not let's have a Big Finish trilogy of all the versions they were going to make but didn't -
1) The Season 18 remount (which would have had lots of long boring conversations in the Professor's rooms rather than any action 2) The 1985 Christmas special (much like the VHS turned out, except with the sixth Doctor and Peri rather than Tom Baker and a museum full of old monsters) 3) The Philip Segal version (with Romana as Chronotis's niece)
Admittedly, all these are also totally surplus to requirements, but at least we'd get something new.

My list of must animate: Hartnell: Marco Polo The Crusade Daleks' Masterplan (2 parts?) The Massacre Troughton: The Highlanders The Macra Terror The Faceless Ones The Evil of the Daleks Fury from the Deep For me it'd be: 1st: The Myth Makers (Just Because It'd Be Interesting To See) The Celestial Toymaker (Because It's A Very Visual Story) 2nd: The Macra Terror (Again, A Very Visual Story And A Potentially Highly Rated One, If It Were To Be Animated) The Faceless Ones (I really enjoy the existing parts) The Evil Of The Daleks (Obvious Reasons) The Abominable Snowmen (Because I Think It's Quite Underrated By Some People) Fury From The Deep (Obvious Reasons) Unmade Episodes: The Masters Of Luxor (Would Sell Well, Probably) The Rosemariners (Visual Again) The Foe From The Future (Great Story) The Doomsday Contract (It's Got A Complete Script, So Why Not?) Erinella (What I Said For The Doomsday Contract) Killers Of The Dark (Maybe?) The Krikketmen (Maybe?) Season 23's Original Stories (Or As Much As Possible) Season 27 (Or As Much As Posisble) Century House (Sounds Good) The Suicide Exhibition (Sounded Like A Lot Of Work Had Been Done On It And It Sounds Enjoyable)

Hello again. I'd not thought of unmade episodes, Budnp2013. What an interesting idea. The Sixth Doctor Season 23's from Leviathan to The First Sontarans are generally solid. You could do a tie-up with Big Finish a and use their soundtracks. Although converting audio to video would be time-consuming. I'd love to see Thin Ice animated just to see {Spoiler} The Ice Warriors munching on fish fingers! The Lords of the Red Planet would be interesting too. The problem would be selling them to a wider audience so that the expense of good animation would be worth it. Great idea though.

I never thought I'd hear a Big Finish release where Ice Warriors have a fetish for fish fingers!

Count me as someone who is less than thrilled by this news. I'd love fully animated version of lost episodes and not the rubbish looking animation we got on Power of the Daleks. Proper full on animation.

Wish we could get an original animated story.

If we're animating BF, I think the range begging to be 2D animated is Jago and Litefoot There are things that need to draw a market in though, and if you were animating BF then first out of the gate is The Light at the End, the only genuine Five Doctor cross over in existence. Then the Tenth Doctor material. Then I'd have things like The Spectre of Lanyon Moor, Six and the Brig. The War Doctor sets would be an obvious selling point as well. Spare Parts would be another no brainer. Chimes? Not for me. Better to head to the EDAs rather than the DU. Seven? Not so sure, Colditz would sell for its Tennant connection, and lead to the rest of the Klein material. And with a 2D J&L then J&L&S would have to be on the radar as a selling point.

I own the McGann CD but still haven't found the chance to listen to it (or most of my CD only releases)
I have read the novelization though. But I guess I am not as oversaturated with Shada as some so this sounds cool to me.
Of course I rather have an animation of Evil of the Daleks, Marco Polo, or Fury from the Deep. But beggars can't be choosers.
Edit: I forgot the Massacre definitely that one too!

I'd love to see an adaptation of Marco Polo at some point. It's the oldest serial to have become lost and a very good debut from John Lucarotti, on par with his work on The Aztecs and the original Massacre story. I reckon it could do with some proper love after all these years. 2) The 1985 Christmas special (much like the VHS turned out, except with the sixth Doctor and Peri rather than Tom Baker and a museum full of old monsters) Not heard about this. Could you elaborate about this one? Got to admit, I didn't know about this one either, but according to A Brief History of Time (Travel):

What about Dark Eyes?

Shada would be better with 10 and Donna linking narration rather than 6 and Peri.

Sea Beggars can be choosers then...? {Spoiler} Marginally obscure joke For anyone who isn't yet a fan of the Hartnell historicals, 'The Sea Beggar' is the second episode of 'The Massacre'. (All of the above stories would get my vote, plus The Crusade, The Highlanders, The Abominable Snowmen. For starters. For everyone who admires John Lucarotti's historicals, I very highly recommend the audiobook of his novelisation of 'The Massacre' - superbly performed by Peter Purves and very different from the TV soundtrack, it's the 'author's cut' of the story.)

I like it a lot, more than the televised version actually. The Massacre has a very interesting set of bookends, the Doctor has been long since retired by the Time Lords and is answerable to them. I like to believe that it's the Merlin incarnation we see a couple times in The Neutron Knights and The Tides of Time, before he came across Arthur and Morgaine. Billions of years in the future when the safety of N-Space is more or less taken care of by his previous selves and he's started looking further afield for adventure. The Lucarotti novelisations are probably only matched by Whitaker's The Crusaders for that wonderful, open feeling of genuine exploration and wonder.

And, (engages caps lock) IT IS NOT A LOST STORY. Surely that depends on how you define "Lost Story"? To my mind it is a "Lost Story" in so much as it was a story that never made it to broadcast. Sure there have been remakes and more, but the original for me fits the "Lost Story" model, which even without Shada has to embody a wide range of material in a wide range of incompletion.
