"The two episodes, released on Friday and starring Peter Purves as the Doctor's companion, are parts one and three of a mostly lost 12-part adventure called The Daleks' Master Plan."
"The original 16mm telerecordings of the two Dalek episodes have been restored, and were made available on iPlayer in the UK on Friday morning."
"The announcement that the episodes had been found was sprung as a surprise on Purves at a special private screening for him in mid-March."
"The episodes feature a significant milestone for Whovians, with the first appearance in the show of Nicholas Courtney, playing Bret Vyon."
Two episodes of Doctor Who, The Nightmare Begins and Devil's Planet, have been recovered after being lost since 1965. These episodes are part of The Daleks' Master Plan, a 12-part adventure written by Terry Nation. The recovery was made by Film is Fabulous, a charitable trust. The original 16mm telerecordings have been restored and made available on iPlayer. A special screening for actor Peter Purves revealed the episodes, which also mark the first appearance of Nicholas Courtney's character, Bret Vyon.
