A big shout out to Dave Palfreyman at @DiteliM who spent three weeks and long days scanning the 219 rolls of 35mm negatives. Here he is at work.

Big thanks to everyone at @BBCArchive for their invaluable help in the remastering of the Doctor Who TV Movie, in particular Paul Doherty and Claire Coss. The film will be sent back to Universal in Los Angeles, but in the meantime it's in the care of the BBC Archive.

The Doctor Who TV Movie, fully remastered from the original film elements is available to pre-order now. There's a trailer which is voiced by the fabulous Sylvester McCoy and here's one of the original film frames featuring the great man.
