Sometimes the truth is strange from science fiction.
“Doctor Ho” spent the patient Supervan Mini to re-create 97 lost episodes of the series using artificial intelligence-so he will be able to watch it again before his death.
London's music producer Ian Levin, 71, sold his royalties to finance his mission to fill the gaps in the archives of the beloved British TV series, who said that its cost was 100,000 pounds, or more than 130,000 dollars – although he knows that it will not be seen on a large scale.
“I have come to death four times,” said Levin, who has been fighting nose cancer, and has been restricted to a wheelchair since I left it 11 years ago with the limited use of his left.
He said: “I thought,” I do not want to die, I do not see them, “so I made my mission to see them before I die.” “I made many sacrifices to do so.”
Levin – who was previously suffering from bladder, stinking, and one sarkoid cancer – estimated that he spent 70,000 pounds from his dough while a group of other fans reduced 30,000 pounds through a donation campaign. He searched the world as much as Bangladesh and Turkey to find designers on a job to make the transmission of artificial intelligence images of production, notes and actual sound of stories.
He told the newspaper “Interview on the phone”: “For every good person I found, I found 20 of the fraudsters who wanted you to do so,” I send 100 pounds first or not, then I will send you a clip. ” This cost me at least 10,000 pounds in rupture. “
Levin, who was addicted to the show since his first appearance in the UK in 1963, was an informal consultant for the program in the 1980s, that since AI was not adopted by the British Broadcasting Corporation, he now only shares videos with a small group of friends and colleagues who also contributed to this effort.
BBC One had a policy to disinfect the film after broadcasting now as if it were a strange and short-looking step that left big gaps in its archive-including the first six seasons, in black and white from “Doctor Who”, which focuses on mysterious foreign adventures traveling in time and space.
Copies of lost stories have emerged over the years in special groups and were found in foreign TV studios where they were shipped for broadcasting years ago – but the reality is that many or most of them are still missing are no longer present in any way.
The British Broadcasting Corporation itself used audio records of alive fans from TV broadcasting to make mobile engravings for many missing rings, but Levin and some other fundamentalists rejected them as “cartoons” that are not authentic for original budget production.
Levin's explicit nature has always made him a polarized personality in Fandom raised in the show. It includes modern Fiery that sparked the reverse reaction, and includes handrails against a woman's dumping in the starring role in 2017 and detonating the last episodes of the imagined “wake” business schedule.
“You take your beloved personality, like Tarzan, an immortal figure, that the people who grew up with love and crushed it in a box,” said Levin, an explicit gay for the recent criticism. “It is something I feel very much.”
Levine's recreation now has their own critics, with a full section of Fandom via the Internet brutally mocking their quality – and their maker.
But others look at Levin as a hero for his recreation.
“At the end of the day, it was just a fan – a fans like me just – a little bit, a little bonkin, a lot of excesses, excited about the Max and despair to see the things that were lost again,” Luddite “in Luddite positions.”
He added: “Ian saw all these offers on the original broadcast – they are part of the developmental DNA – that he wants to return those feelings, and he wants to test these magical moments again before humans are mixed.” “As a fan, I feel very lucky because I was able to see them and so happy that Ian hung his head in the lion's mouth to make them make it. All I say.”
With the Vitriol he watched and the money he spent, the music producer said that it was worth it because he can now broadcast each episode of the exhibition in original format or Amnesty International from the five harddrive.
“It should be worth it for the pleasure that I brought to me to see them,” Levin said. “Doctor who runs overnight in a sleeping room, complete, nothing is missing.”
“Doctor Ho” ran from 1963-1989, then it was restarted in 2005 with 14 different actor so far playing the lead. He was shown on his last season on Disney+, on Saturday.
