Doctor Who The Web of Fear BBC TV Restored DVD PAL 4 Patrick Troughton VGC

Nine recordings from the 1960s featuring missing episodes of Doctor Who have been recovered in Nigeria, Africa. Both recovered stories, The Enemy of the World (1967 – released on DVD November 2013) and The Web of Fear (1968), starred Patrick Troughton as the second Doctor.

The Web of Fear is the 1968 six-part story. Episodes 2– 6 were feared lost forever but now these episodes 2, 4, 5, and 6 have been recovered. Unfortunately, episode three is still missing but a restoration team has reconstructed this part of the story using a selection of the 37 images that were available from the episode along with the original audio which has been restored. Starring Patrick Troughton alongside Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling, The Web of Fear introduces Nicholas Courtney for the first time as Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart (who later returns as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart).
