"Doctor Who: The Power of the Daleks," ★★★1/2: Fans of Doctor Who have lamented how the story of the Doctor's very first regeneration was no longer available. The master negatives were destroyed in a purge of the archives back in 1974.
That missing link of the Doctor Who story is back in a slightly different form. Animation has been created to go with the program's original audio recordings, based on surviving photographs and film clips.
The six-part adventure, presented in both color and black and white, features the regeneration of First Doctor, William Hartnell, into Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton. It's a creative way to restore a key bit of history in the Time Lord saga.
