Mission to the Unknown 2

The second half of my reconstruction of this missing episode.

Well, I say "my"... Due to the lack of tele-snaps, many of the images are composites from Loose Cannon's excellent reconstruction. However, I have made some modifications, including the addition of footage from Day of Armageddon (the most recently recovered episode), and an improved soundtrack, brilliantly remastered by Mark Ayres.

For this episode, Ayres combined material from two off-air recordings, those made by David Butler and David Holman. Though generally superior, the Butler recording was rather muffled, with unclear sibilant ("s" and "t") sounds. Ayres remedied this in an ingenious way, applying heavy equalisation to the Holman recording to remove all but the sibilant sounds, then synchronised the two recordings line by line.

The picture quality varies, so I wouldn't recommend watching this full screen!

The soundtrack is available as part of the Daleks' Master Plan CD from BBC Audio. Support the BBC releases!
