Title: Dr Who: Daleks vs Mechons

the Third Peter Cushing film trailer...

the Third Peter Cushing film trailer...
Everyone knows that there were two Dalek films in the 1960s starring Peter Cushing. It's not generally knwon that there was a third film made in 1967, based on the Doctor Who TV serial 'The Chase'. The master print of the film was lost in a fire in the Aaru / Amicus archives before the film was officially released. In 2009, in a box of dusty, charred old film canisters in the basement of a church in northern England, I located the last surviving footage from this film.

All that survived was the trailer...

Ideas a bit better than the execution, but good fun nonethless.

Charles Hawtrey as an Aridian(?) made me laugh out loud.

Fan made trailers are pointless irritations

No - they are OK in this context.

But show no mercy to people creating "Hobbit 3: There and Back Again" trailers just now and trying to make it seem like a genuine  trailer.

I'm sorry guys, but I just don't see the point in making a trailer for something that doesn't exist.

Granted, this is not pretending to be anything else.

The ones that really grate are those that claim to be official so as to get You Tube viewings. I gave up looking for trailers on You Tube in favour of Apple's site.

You mean like that cover for a Dredd/Mars Attacks crossover?

and also a full coherent film with a beginning middle and end, even a short, is a lot of work. A fan trailer lets people do some amazing stuff in a compressed format without stressing about pacing, conclusions, character development, narrative etc.

And it emans we get stuff like Slaine: The Horned God (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRIPAsbhZpM)

We could fight...

but he would want to make a trailer about what he was going to do, even though we all know that it's a waste of time as it will never happen
