New teaser: Doctor Who: The Power of the Daleks

 Details:
Doctor Who: The Power of the Daleks will premiere on BBC AMERICA on Saturday, November 19, at 8:25/7:25c before a new episode of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

The Power of the Daleks is one of the most celebrated Doctor Who adventures, and yet no complete film recordings are known to have survived. The master negatives were destroyed in an archive purge in 1974. This brand new animation, being released 50 years after its only UK broadcast, is based on the program’s original audio recordings, surviving photographs, and film clips. The six-part adventure features the regeneration – or as it was then called “renewal” – of First Doctor, William Hartnell, into Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, and follows the Time Lord and his companions Polly (Anneke Wills) and Ben (Michael Craze) as they do battle with the Daleks on the planet Vulcan.
