studio floor; these were required to be moved to the side for the Daleks to move. Foliage and pot plants were sourced from around the university and from productions like Coronation Street. Nicholas Briggs portrayed the Daleks in the recreation, having returned to the country the day before production following the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles. Briggs and Ireland met in 2013, when the former visited Bournemouth University. Briggs felt that the Dalek voices in "Mission to the Unknown" and The Daleks' Master Plan sounded "a bit more like" actors Hawkins and Graham than the Daleks; he adjusted his ring modulator to avoid this, but attempted recreate the original voices as closely as possible. James Burgess operated the Daleks and, alongside his father Mike, provided a blue-and-silver Dalek for use. In the recreation, Marco Simioni played Marc Cory, Dan Gilligan played Lowery, Jacob Marrison played Garvey, and Paul Stenton played Malpha. Several issues interrupted filming throughout the week—such as a fire alarm from the use of a smoke machine, and a malfunction of Briggs's ring modulator and a camera—but filming ultimately finished about an hour ahead of schedule. The Dalek set was used in one scene in the original episode, and later returned for use throughout The Daleks' Master Plan; however, due to the set's complexity and infrequent usage, the recreation uses models instead, with full-size close-ups for shots of the Daleks. The model shots were filmed some weeks after main production. The recreation premiered on the Doctor Who YouTube channel on 9 October 2019 at 5:50p.m., exactly 54 years after its original broadcast. A behind-the-scenes documentary about the recreation was also released, created by YouTuber Josh Snares. The Guardians Martin Belam described the recreation as "effective", praising the Varga plants and Dalek death effect, but noted that the source material itself was "a bit stilted, stagey and even slapstick at points", calling it "an interesting curiosity rather than a 'must see. Erik Amaya of Comicon.com similarly felt that the dated techniques "make the 25-minute story feel slower than it actually is" but that this was "the whole point of the project", lauding the accuracy of the recreation. The episode was awarded a Special Jury Prize at the Learning on Screen Awards in 2020.
