@victorczon Yes, sadly. The BBC back in the 60s had a habit of reusing reels after episodes aired on television, so the original film has been completely lost. The only things that survived were the recorded audio, and some on set photography.
No, the episode was full motion and action when originally recorded and broadcast, but at a certain point afterwards the BBC recycled the tapes. Unfortunately, as of 2024 no surviving recording has been available. It's possible there may be some copies in private possessions, but, if so, the possessors aren't sharing. These still image reconstructions are the best we can do for now. Fortunately, I found this reconstruction very satisfying! Next best thing to being able to watch the real thing!

Soooo… is this episode supposed to only have still images and audio?
