Animation

Animation was a rare feature used in Doctor Who stories. It was usually used to depict inanimate objects coming to life.

It was used in the Series 2 episode. Fear Her to depict the drawings, made by Chloe Webber after Isolus possessed her, come to life by having everything and everyone she drew on a paper disappear from the Earth.

Animated episodes
In the 1960s episodes of the show were originally only meant to be watched once and then never again. For this reason many of the episodes were junked by the BBC due to the junking policy to make space for new programmes. Since the introduction of DVDs and Blu-rays etc. a hunt for lost episodes had begun, with many episodes having been recovered over time. However due to the belief that some episodes may truly have been lost forever, BBC began production of animation of certain stories.
