Reconstructing Lost 'Doctor Who' Episodes with Minimax?
xantub · reddit · 2026-08-06
A Reddit user proposed an idea for restoring lost episodes of the BBC classic Doctor Who. During the 1960s, many episodes were wiped due to tape reuse, but complete radio audio recordings and publicity stills taken every 30 seconds survived.
The user discusses the plausibility of using the existing audio and images alongside the Minimax video generation model to reconstruct these lost episodes, noting that surviving full episodes could serve as visual references for the actors.
