This unique project matches the soundtrack recording of a classic "Doctor Who" television story with a visual slideshow of 'telesnaps' showing images from the lost film recording. Of the 100+ episodes of "Doctor Who", which are absent from the television archives, only two elements survive: off-air sound recordings and 'telesnaps'. For each 25 minute episode of "Doctor Who", approximately 70 off-screen photographs exist. Since 1998, BBC Audio has successfully published the soundtracks of these missing stories, with addition linking narration.This new MP3-CD series now marries the sound with the telesnaps, to present a slideshow of images from the episodes and going some way to 'reconstructing' the original film episodes. MP3-CDs can be played on any compatible player. To view the visual elements, a PC or Mac home computer is required. In "The Power of the Daleks", the Doctor has regenerated for the first time, leaving his two companions suspicious of him being an imposter. But when the TARDIS materialises on the planet Vulcan, they must fight for their lives together - against the Daleks...

Shame this is no longer available for fans to buy. It's an excellent story and even better viewing the telesnaps alongside the narrated original BBC TV Soundtrack.
No denying that it would be better if the episodes themselves existed to view but this is the next best thing.
Why didn't they do anymore like this?

You can say that about many of the old Doctor Who episodes in fairness, but it really is a shame this one is no longer in the archives.
An involving storyline that develops and builds to a satisfying climax, with top performances from the regulars and members of the supporting cast. The Daleks are at their most calculating and ruthless, arguably reaching their peak before the disappointing tales they were involved in during Pertwee's era.
I would give the story 5 stars. The CD-Rom itself, well, maybe it's a little dated in this format now. It doesn't run that smoothly, although I would say the telesnaps with the audio recording generally work well. Some of the telesnaps are repeated a little too much in my opinion and may not accurately reflect what was on the screen at the time. It would be nice to see this and the other missing episodes released in a smoother format, hence my deduction of one star, but the story itself is deserving of classic status.

This is the restored soundtrack for The Power Of The Daleks combined with tele-snaps (photos) taken from the original broadcast tapes which no longer exists.The audio only survives because several fans took the trouble to record them at the time of transmission on reel to reel tape recorders.It can only be watched on a computer, which to me makes it a bit geeky.If you already have the audio book I would not bother buying just download the tele-snaps from the BBC site.If it had been done on DVD is a form that could be watched on TV it might have been better. I notice no other stories have been released in this format and I would not recommend it .
