Nope: I don’t speak German, in case you were wondering.
So … ?
I have no idea of the English translations of the lyrics at the start of the introduction video are.
All I can tell you is it’s from this video …
Any guess at a translation … would be appreciated … !

Something for the Doctor Who fans is the news that two episodes of the lost William Hartnell story, The Daleks’ Masterplan, have been found in Leicestershire.
They’re due to be restored: and aired via the BBC iPlayer, at Easter.
That’s good to hear: and something I wouldn’t mind catching.
Especially as it means three of the twelve episode story are now in the BBC’s custody.
My only hope … ?
Is that other episodes can be recovered: apparently, though, the story wasn’t sold overseas so there’s little chance of the episodes being found, abroad.
But, given there’s fan-made audio recording of every episode, I would love to see the story done as an animated reconstruction.
Given the last reanimated story was The Savages, in 2025?
I think we’re going to have a long wait …

As a point of trivia?
Most of the recent series — series — of Dr Who have been eight to twelve episodes in length.
Given The Daleks’ Masterplan is twelve episodes long, and includes what is arguably the show’s first Christmas episodes, means two things.
One?
The show’s first Christmas episode is part of the story.
Two?
One Hartnell story is longer than some of the show’s either of Ncuti Gatwa’s two series.
That’s just a little mind boggling, isn’t it … ?
