Hello everyone, the Historian here, with one more episode! Way back in April of 2008, we missed an episode, due to not having the reconstruction to hand. It’s been a few years, but the time has come to finally watch episode six of Marco Polo, “Mighty Kublai Khan!” After this, we can officially declare the Project done, barring final post(s), some link clean-ups and wrapup additions! A note about this reconstruction: it is not the one we watched when we saw the rest of this story, but a new one released by Loose Cannon (of the no-longer-functioning website) a couple of years after we saw their old recon. And so, for the last time, let’s get to the episode!

Wrapup – Marco Polo
Well, we’ve come to the end of our first reconstructed story, which, thanks to an apparent error on the part of the dubber, led to a bit of the bending of the rules here at the TARDIS project. Yes, we have officially missed an episode, but I assure you that, if I get my hands on a copy of the recon for “Mighty Kublai Khan,” we will watch it, write up a special post and I’ll link back to here. I’m hopeful that this will happen before the end of the Project!

6 – Mighty Kublai Khan
Not so mighty…
Hello, the Historian here, bringing you bad news. It seems the person who dubbed our Loose Cannon reconstruction of “Marco Polo” (an official dubber, I hasten to add) accidently left episode six off! The first tape ends with five, the second begins with seven. There is a summary of the episode’s events on this page (scroll down), and the transcription (which I will certainly be reading!) is here. For completeness sake, I should add that the episode was aired on 28 March, 1964.
Obviously, this is a serious disappointment to the TARDIS Project team. We did continue on with the next episode, which I’ll get to in a moment, but I just thought I should apologize to our readers…whoever you are.
In a moment, “Assassin at Peking.” And I remain

2 – The Singing Sands
Hello all, the Historian here. Before we begin, a small announcement: we will be skipping next week, as I have been unavoidably summoned and must journey to the planet of Hilarus Solum. Have no fear, though, we will return the week following with our next episode!

1 – The Roof of the World
So, here we are at the first of our Reconstructed episodes, an episode long lost. The Historian here, along with Ketina, Ronelyn, Schmallturm and Kroroboros, all gathered to watch an episode of Doctor Who that none of us had ever seen! Of course, an uncharitable soul might say we’ve still never quite seen it, but this reconstruction is the closest we will probably ever get! Onward!
