Edward Kelsey had appeared in The Romans (1965) and would return in The Creature from the Pit (1979). Missing episodes The master tapes of episodes 1 through 5 were erased in the late 1960s, while the BBC Enterprise copies on 16mm for foreign sales were destroyed in 1974. The 35mm film negative of episode 6 was junked before 1970. Some clips survive from various other programmes, mainly focusing upon the Daleks in episodes 4, 5, and 6. A narrated trailer that aired the evening before the story was first broadcast contains 19 seconds worth of footage from episode 1, focusing on when the Doctor, Ben, and Polly find the two seemingly inactive Daleks in the capsule. In addition some footage filmed off-air by an Australian fan onto 8mm cine film exists, showing brief moments of the new Doctor's first moves in the TARDIS and other brief moments in the colony throughout episodes 1 and 2. Episode 3 has no surviving clips whatsoever. Australian copies of the story were returned and junked in June 1975. Only two other countries purchased the story due to the restriction on Dalek sales by Terry Nation: the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation in 1968, which then sent its copy to Radio Television Singapore in 1972. RTS's successor Mediacorp say they do not possess any copies, and what happened to this set is unknown, although it was probably destroyed. Animated version In August 2016, two minutes of animated footage from the serial appeared on YouTube. The professional nature of the animation, combined with the fact that the BBC had it removed within 48 hours, led to speculation that it had been leaked footage from a planned official release. The Daily Mirror then ran a story stating that a full animated reconstruction of the serial had been commissioned by the BBC. In September the BBC confirmed that it was producing a full animated version of The Power of the Daleks for release in November to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the serial's original broadcast. Two additional teasers were released the following month. The animation was directed by Charles Norton, with lead character art by Martin Geraghty, character shading by Adrian Salmon, props by Mike Collins, and background art by Daryl Joyce. Late into production, BBC America began work on a colourised version of the black and white animation. The animation was released daily on the BBC Store
