This is old news for all you die-hard doctor fans, but I just caught up with this (via an old article in Guardian). Pretty cool methinks. These are the brainchild of the talented and alliterative Garrett Gilchrist of Orange Cow Productions who invites budding fanimators to help out with the project, see HERE if you want to have a go.
But if fans can do this for no money then why not BBC, eh?
Well they did apparently in 2006 for DVD release of The Invasion (commissioned from Cosgrove Hall, home to Danger Mouse and Duckula), but now say it’s too expensive to make any more. Well Auntie Beebee, I don’t believe it- I reckon you could get a fair few for the price of two pints and a packet of crisps….

Wonderful!
I hadn’t seen that before. I have seen the invasion animation and it’s really good. Thats a six part story and only two episodes are missing and so were animated. It works really well and CH did a good job. Here are some clips - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6W2o3CW0as
While it is “too expensive” for the BBC to reanimate the other missing stories now I think that will change as they run out of old stories to release on DVD. They are currently over halfway now with getting 60’s-80’s stories out and I suspect things will be different in say 4 or 5 years as animation becomes relatively cheaper.
