Talk:Mission to the Unknown

message: Is it correct that Mission to the Unknown was commissioned because Planet of Giants was shortened? That serial appeared a year earlier, at the start of the previous season. Why would it cause a carry-over into the next year? 68.145.238.33 15:05, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You have to note that the production blocks don't conform precisely to the Seasons. What happened was that when Giants was reduced by one episode in October 1964, the serial that was originally to be at the end of the second recording block was supposed to be extended to seven episodes instead of six. However, that story was replaced by The Chase, which came out at six episodes, so that "extra episode" never got made. Swing around now to 1965, and Sydney Newman extends the recording block from 26 episodes to 35. At this time, Doctor Who serials were always made in 4 episode or 6 episode stories - so to extend it by 9 episodes seems anomalous. The likely explanation is that the additional episode was the extra episode that was promised and budgeted for but never materialised... and since they had that extra episode to play with, that became Mission to the Unknown. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:26, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Planet of Giants was part of the FIRST production block and was simply held over for Season 2. Also, four episodes were produced, even though not broadcast, so the budget was used up.Don Bodo (talk) 20:06, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
