The classic Doctor Who story Mission to the Unknown is being remounted by students at UCLAN.

The news was confirmed by original series star Peter Purves, who is attending the shoot with Edward de Souza, who appeared in the episode back in 1965, and Nicholas Briggs, who will be voicing the Daleks. The single episode was a teaser for the 12 episode epic The Daleks Master Plan, and did not feature the Doctor (William Hartnell) or his companions.

Mission to the Unknown – a complete remake by UCLAN students. The sets are built, the costumes made, the 3 day multi camera shoot begins this morning at 08.30. It is hoped the BBC will release it on DVD. This is serious painstaking work. — Peter Purves (@purves_peter) February 20, 2019

Purves has noted that “it is being made as authentically as possible. The cameras are slightly later, but no zoom shots, only tracking and fixed size shots.”
