This is a neat glimpse into past fandom- thanks for preserving and uploading this! (And for making it, of course, but especially uploading.) It's really neat to see stuff from before I was born.
Thank you! The early days of fandom were pioneering times indeed. We had no access to past Doctor Who archives (except as Target novels) so we tried to make and film stuff ourselves. The news (only today!) that "Power of the Daleks" is about to be released as an animated reconstruction seems like a distillation of both! And fans, of course, are at the heart of it.
How nostalgic. I bet the talents behind this never imagined that one day this cartoon can be viewed on a computer from the comfort of ones home, anytime they want, ANYWHERE in the World (almost). Such a taken for granted thing today would have seemed like Dr Who, back in 1977!
Just a quick question/observation. I assume you added the music when you posted the video; since you say this was 1977 and Mankind's "Dr. Who" wasn't released until Nov. 1978.
Scott Wardley Sorry, What I meant so say was "Smallfilms". The company that produced "Ivor the Engine", "Noggin the Nog" and other Oliver Postgate childrens work. That's where I got mixed up.
That Cyberman looked well plastered while dancing, wonderful upload 🤠
