The newly-recovered first and third episodes of the 12-part serial The Daleks’ Master Plan, in which Purves appears, were shown (along with the second episode, itself returned in 2004) to a packed house at the Riverside Studios arts centre in London.
Just a few weeks ago, the Film is Fabulous! charitable trust recovered copies of two of them from the collection of a deceased film enthusiast, who had kept them safe, unwatched, without realising their rarity.
Recognising the diverse age-range of the enthusiastic audience, Purves acknowledged that few of those present could have caught the episodes’ single television screening way back in 1965.
Many of those who worked on The Daleks’ Master Plan have since passed away but they were not forgotten at the screening. The original Doctor William Hartnell, companion actor Adrienne Hill, director Douglas Camfield and story editor Dennis Spooner were all represented by their children or grandchildren.
