Doctor Who Animated for DVD Release?

Daniel Hall from 2lentertain has recently revealed that two further stories are currently in development for animation for a future DVD release in the Doctor Who DVD range. 2lentertain have previously released the Second Doctor story The Invasion featuring Patrick Troughton, Frazier Hines as Jamie and Wendy Padbury as Zoƫ encounter the Cybermen featuring animated episodes of parts one and four.

Various British tabloids reported last month that lost episodes featuring William Hartnell as the first Doctor are believed to be in the possession of President Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Both The Tenth Planet and The Ice Warriors featuring William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton respectively are rumoured for animation.

This is the comment Daniel Hall left regarding further animation stories;

Contrary to rumour, two further animated stories are in development. Two of the core production team have been working on these projects for several months now. The commissions are by no means guaranteed, but the stories have been decided and negotiations are underway. This had not been announced for the reason that this early in the process we cannot promise a title on the shelf, which is why I feel it is important to set the record straight at this juncture.

Doctor Who Hideout will keep readers updated regarding possible DVD releases featuring animated episodes.
