The Faceless Ones will be the next animated Doctor Who release, filling a gap in missing episodes. Following the success of The Power of the Daleks, Shada and The Macra Terror, The Faceless Ones will be released on DVD, Blu-Ray and as an exclusive Steelbook next year.

 

 

The Faceless Ones is the mostly-missing eighth serial from Season Four of Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in six weekly parts from April to May 1967. Starring Patrick Troughton as the Doctor, the story concerns a race of identity-stealing aliens known as the Chameleons.

 

Only two of the six episodes are held in the BBC film archives with snippets of footage and still images existing from the other four. Off-air recordings of the soundtrack also exist, making the animation of a complete serial possible once again.
