Eagerly Awaited 2nd Doctor (Patrick Troughton) Classic Story Featuring
Stunning Animation.
BBC DVD is thrilled to announce that the previously incomplete 1968 Doctor
Who Cyberman story – The Invasion is now available on DVD in its entirety.
The two missing episodes from this classic Patrick Troughton story have been
recreated using striking black and white animation, to stunning effect.
This unique project uses animation based on the original actors and set
designs to fill in the gaps as seamlessly as possible. The end result brings the
second Doctor back to life in a beautiful broadcast quality animation with
restored audio recording of the original transmission.
This eight-part story sees the Doctor, Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Zoe (Wendy
Padbury) arrive in London in the 1970s, where an eminent computer scientist has
been kidnapped. With the help of UNIT, the Doctor discovers he is being held by
Tobias Vaughn, the managing director of the world’s leading electronics
company in league with the Cybermen in a plan to invade Earth. Once successful,
Vaughn intends on seizing power for himself…
