"Doctor Who" has become a cultural phenomenon -- both in the UK and America -- over the course of several decades since premiering on the BBC in 1963. Many of the long-running show's earliest episodes are lost, though, after master negatives were destroyed when the archive was purged in 1974. Part of the show's history that was destroyed includes six-part adventure "The Power of the Daleks," which features the regeneration of the first doctor into the second as he and his companions battle Daleks on the planet Vulcan. BBC has now commissioned animated versions of the episodes, based on the show's original audio recordings, surviving photographs and film clips, which director Charles Norton calls "the most ambitious `Doctor Who' archive restoration ever attempted." The massive undertaking offers fans a chance to experience the episodes decades after the masters were destroyed.
