*Now I might actually finish viewing the series sequentially & catch up to the more recent batch of doctors!* _(I seriously have no idea what anyone's been on about, with the new shows; I left off at the missing episodes & have been awaiting worthwhile reconstructions before moving on to any later Doctors.)_
"The audience don't like 3D reconstructions" I call shenanigans, this is fantastic. I would prefer this animated style over anything BBC Worldwide can pump out.
The audience didn't like Web 3's animation. With backing from the beeb this could have been pure perfection. As it stands, the fact this was all done by two people more or less is stunning.
Levine, with his fat mouth, going on about the TOYMAKER release on social media, probably put this idea into the heads of the BBC. This effort has more merit than that rubbish WEB 3 garbage. If the BBC could release that on disc, what’s wrong with this?
Any improvement in quality that _might_ be obtained via BBC funding (even absent other BBC input), would be offset by audiences bringing an order of magnitude higher expectation for production levels that aren't even needed. Diminishing returns. Independent creators, creating things just so they'll exist; that's how to maximize total awesomeness.
My three year old and I watched all four of your episodes together with the two surviving ones on iPlayer and absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for bringing this story back to life.
Came from Josh Snares! I actually felt I was watching a real episode, how did you do it so life-like?! It's incredible! Thank you for making this lost classic! At a young age I was intrigued to see lost stuff and now here I am with this!
Thanks to you I've just finished watching The wheel in space for the first time. I'd read the Target novelisation a long time ago but never watched any reconstructions. I loved it. Thank you for gifting a new Doctor Who story for me. I appreciate all the love and hard work you put into it.The BBC should buy it off you and use it on the Season 5 boxset.Its great.👍
Having watched all your reconstructions I must concur with the vox populi that this is, indeed, a tremendously successful achievement. The black and white element compliments the 3D animation and one can only wonder what marvels might have been if the BBC actually invested in this. Huge congratulations and appreciation.
I have just watched all four of your animation reconstructions, only one word, amazing. I now feel I have seen the complete story. Thank you so much for your excellent hard work.
This was so great. As soon as I heard about these I knew my night last night was set. I sat down to watch The Wheel in Space in its entirety for the first time and thanks to your reconstruction it was just wonderful. Thank you for doing this.
I agree with the other commenters. This. Is a great animation and deserves to be seen by all of fandom. This should definitely be a stand alone release and/or part of a season 5 collection. Well done on the high standard you achieved and thank you for bringing to life such a seminal story with Zoe’s introduction.
Thank you very much for all the hardwork animating this I was able to experience this seriel in full for the 1st time using your episode's. the bbc should include these in the future S5 the collection range and ofcourse pay you for the awesome work you've made alot of fans happy thank you for the earlier Christmas present. I hope the bbc now really think about hiring you to work on future animations I look forward to seeing your version of web of fear episode 3
Iz and Steve; I remember about 15 years ago seeing and commenting on your recreation of The Web of Fear trailer and shitting my pants with excitement at how good recons of missing eps could be, you were years ahead of your time then! We’ve had some lovely recons, but the only ones that have ever interested me are the ones that are realistic as possible and can be watched interspersed with existing episodes, these new 2D cartoon animations they’ve done where they’ve essentially started from scratch I can’t abide in at all. Speaking for myself and a whole bunch of likeminded whovians, I’ve got to say this is the most impressive set of recons I’ve ever seen and this is the sort of thing I’ve been dreaming of for years, namely 15 after first seeing that initial WOF short of yours, it doesn’t need me to say it because everyone else already has but you guys have nailed it and then some. I was talking with Josh Snares about putting together a petition to put forward to the BBC to demonstrate how bloody narrow minded they have been with this labour of love done off your own backs (painstakingly over the last few years I might add) and handed to them on a plate, anyone would have thought they’re taking orders from the cyber controller to destroy the hopes and dreams of 60s Who enthusiasts and purists! I can’t thankyou enough for making so many so happy and we are all on the edge of our seats to see what you’ve got lined up next! If necessary we’ll rally round and get a gofundme in place to help produce more marvels of this magnitude, much love and greatest respect 🫡 ❤
Quite arrogant of the BBC to suggest fans don't want 3D. Actually, fans didn't want half baked 3D. This is incredible. I'd put it up there along with The Moonbase and The Invasion animations. Yet again the BBC thinks that it understands fans and gets it completely wrong. It feels perverse that I paid for the Wed of Fear animation, yet I've managed to rip these for free. Thanks to you, I now consider Season 5 to be complete. x x x
Ah, Flannagan, what a lad..! "You need a few lessons in the manly and noble arts, me bucko!" - as he bounces someone's head against the wall repeatedly. Gemma's death is never less than shocking though - such a great character, played by a wonderful actress.
Loving these aninations, they are excellent. Perhaps the fight sequence in episode 5 could have been sped up slightly, but all in all I am so impressed.
Brilliant work by you both folks, have totally loved all the epidodes. The BBC are incorrect if they think fans do not want 3D animation like this. They just want it well done. Which these are considering its just the two of you working in your spare time, where as Web Of Fear sadly wasn't
Thank you for uploading this serial, it's a real shame that the BBC aren't going to make this an official DVD/Blu Ray. I will admit that I haven't watch the whole of this wonderful work of yours, but I have a a few little peeks at it as 'The Wheel in Space' is one off my personal favorite stories. I've already got the CD (thanks to the stand alone CD set, I did have a copy that came in a tin with 'The Invasion' and a CD all about the history of the Cybermen but it's long gone now. those I had get them both one again as self contained CDs) plus the 'Lost in Time' DVD, off which I'll be using for parts 3 and 6 and finally the Telesnaps DWM Sped from 2013. All of which I very much enjoy using in order to enjoy the tale. Oddly however my love affair with 'The Wheel in Space' began with a fan made Telesnap recon that had been made by some fans back in the 1990s, I'm not sure which one it was, but I'm fairly sure that it wasn't the Loose Canon version. 'The Wheel in Space' is a woefully underrated tale written my my personal favorite 'Doctor Who' writer David Whitaker (any relation?) starring my personal favorite Doctor (Pat NEVER EVER gave a bad performance regardless of the writing or SFX quality, thus I even enjoy the likes of tales like 'The Krotons' and 'The Dominators' plus I've always like the Krotons and the Quarks as they are cool in a sort of Zarbi way) alongside his two best foils (Jamie and Zoe, Zoe and her outfits being another reason why I enjoy those tales as well) plus my second favorite monster, namely the Cybermen one of their best designs. Happy Times and Places
I remember when you did a trailer for "The Wheel in Space" but in the style of Scott Ridley's 'Alien'. I had a quick peek and that was apparently 13+ years ago. How time flies. Wonderful job. Do you have a website or paypal or some place where I can send a little donation or something to help pay for all your hard work?
Excellent, took me a little time to get familiar and boom I was in. Superb job, wonderful realisations.❤ Why the BBC have not come in with funds to improve this is criminal. Forgive me I'm not putting it down and is far better than the terrible renditions of the last few animations by the 'boys club'. 😊 I understand you have discussed or talked with them? My apologies if that incorrect?Lets face it we need a The Collection blu ray season 5 out or 6 this could get them there. I not getting any younger, I know that's selfish but time is passing to see something of quality like these. Good luck with future episodes, I wish lot's of love and a big thank you for your time, skills and love to produce this. 💗💗💗
with this release, we now have a complete 60s season for the first time
*Now I might actually finish viewing the series sequentially & catch up to the more recent batch of doctors!*

Diminishing returns.

I don’t normally but this was pretty good

Saw Josh Snares' video about these, and came to watch them. You have done excellent work, you have much to proud of. Well done!
This was so great. As soon as I heard about these I knew my night last night was set. I sat down to watch The Wheel in Space in its entirety for the first time and thanks to your reconstruction it was just wonderful. Thank you for doing this.

Well done on the high standard you achieved and thank you for bringing to life such a seminal story with Zoe’s introduction.
It’s cool that this establishes the scale of the Cybermen next to the humans as near seven-foot-tall behemoths.
This is probably the first time I have enjoyed the wheel in space. Thank you very much for your hard work bringing this to life. You both smashed it
Thank you very much for all the hardwork animating this I was able to experience this seriel in full for the 1st time using your episode's. the bbc should include these in the future S5 the collection range and ofcourse pay you for the awesome work you've made alot of fans happy thank you for the earlier Christmas present.

That was great, thank you so much for making and sharing this.
Wow!
Bravo!
Absolutely outstanding.
Many, many thanks for these.
These are amazing. The best episode reconstructions I've ever seen.
The BBC made a bad mistake passing on this. It’s great

This is better than the BBC official sh*t 💯
The meteor shower in this version is so much better than the live action version - well done!
damn fine work... so close to my memories, i find it hard to describe, thank you, thank you... [a fan since 63]
Excellent stuff - the scene where Dr Corwyn tries to blast a cyberman and gets shot down is superb !
LOVED them all!
Fantastic work!!
Thank you
Feels like we have the original episodes back, what an absolute triumph and a real treat for Christmas
I thoroughly enjoyed this 3D reconstruction! Amazing work! The BBC once again prove how out of touch they are
Superb. Thank you Iz and Steve.
A superb reconstruction , i'll echo the thoughts of other comments to say that it really did feel like watching the original episodes
Superb from start to finish. Well done, and it feels utterly authentic.
Bravo, Skinners! This is excellent work
Absolutely Incredible! Thank you!!

Amazingly good. Feel like I've seen the story now. Best animation in donkeys years.
stunning, thanks
Fantastic!

Just too good!
Can this be bought anywhere on dvd.
Marvellous - the animation and the original story, which I don't remember. I gues the static being which appears at 7:23 is a sort of master cyberman?
Yes, the Cyber-Planner
Please do more
Is there the possibility of a colour version being released in future? Just asking in case there's people out there who don't like black and white.
see BBC if fans can do it you can
are you going to submit this to the bbc so they release on dvd i would love to buy it
are the FULL episodes 1-3 being released on your youtube site? like the wheel in space
i would pay you to make daleks amster plan
