Originally broadcast in April 1966, The Celestial Toymaker sees the Doctor and companions separated when they come up against The Toymaker. While the Doctor plays the Trilogic Game, Steven and Dodo are forced to play seemingly childish but ultimately dangerous games with the aim of being reunited and getting back to the Tardis. This brand new animated version has been created using the original audio recordings. Doctor Who is releasing an animated version of classic episodes featuring the villainous Toymaker, who was played by Michael Gough in a 1966 serial. All but one of the original master recordings were lost until now, but BBC Studios has managed to intricately weave back together the tale using off-air audio from the missing three episodes, as confirmed on the Doctor Who website. Three of the four chapters of that serial were lost, leaving only the final episode watchable. Using the audio track that remains for all four episodes (which has previously been released in audiobook form), the BBC will produce an animated recreation of the first three episodes, making it possible to watch the entire "The Celestial Toymaker" serial. Doctor Who fans will have options for how they watch the recreated "The Celestial Toymaker" serial. The Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker set, which will be released on Blu-ray and DVD in 2024, includes on its first disc all four episodes of the serial animated in black and white for a cohesive animated viewing experience. The disc also includes reconstructions of the first three episodes with a new restoration of the surviving original fourth episode. These are accompanied by new audio commentaries. The second disc of Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker has all four animated episodes in color. (Availability: These discs will be shipped from June 10, 2024) This is a pre-sale auction.
