The Animated Macra Terror

The lost episodes of "Doctor Who" continue to frustrate fans. This year, an animated release attempted to "fill in" the canon with the restoration of the Second Doctor serial "The Macra Terror." How does the animation look? What is the story like? And why can't any of the characters properly describe the monsters? We look at that and more.

In our look into the TARDIS library, we review the second appearance of the Macra in the Tenth Doctor episode "Gridlock." This episode definitely made us have kittens.

What do you think of animating lost episodes?
