I was thinking if there's a market for this:
Would they consider releasing all the missing episodes simply with a mix of nicely crafted cartoon images intertwined with surviving telecast photos (combined of course with the all the audios which are in perfect condition)?
They could be released in DVD cases with the same type of visuals on the DVD covers but with a special blurb on the cover stating its an "audio visual snap cast" or something of the like (so people aren't fooled to believe they are actually the original telecasts). This would make them attractive for us "completests" to purchase.
As they are not the videos, or even motion cartoons, they could be a cartoon picture (or photo if available) of a key image, from every minute or 2 of the story, with more images if it is for an action scene. As it is not a cartoon as such this would dramatically keep the costs down. By doing this and providing minimal or no extras they could be released at less than half the price of the DVD's, helping them breakeven.
Would I purchase them? -yes definitely. Would others? -dunno, but they could trial it for a story such as the Highlanders -with all episodes missing. If this proves successful then try others as well.
