More Missing Episodes of Doctor Who Confirmed to Exist;
Announcement Expected Shortly
-------------------------------------------------------
Film is Fabulous, an organisation run by film collectors and
vintage television enthusiasts, has confirmed the existence
of several missing episodes of Doctor Who, and further
revealed that a detailed announcement about these stories
being returned to the BBC!
On Facebook, Film is Fabulous wrote:
"As mentioned by Sue Malden at our RECOVERED event in May,
we are aware of several missing episodes of Doctor Who (Sue
stated one [or] two, but there are more than this) in private
film collections in the UK. We are liaising with the
individuals about cataloguing and preserving their entire
collection, including the missing Doctor Who episodes, and
ensuring that copies are returned to the BBC. We expect to
make a detailed announcement shortly."
Indeed, at the Recovered festival in Leicester, Sue, who is
an archive specialist, had said:
"As far as Doctor Who goes, we do not have a statement or
anything to make at the moment. We do know fairly certainly
that there are episodes missing in private collections.
"Some members of the Film is Fabulous! team are in a
considerably significant position to help on that.
"So, when the time is right, we really do hope that it will
be Film is Fabulous that manages to return at least one or
two, I don't know, of the missing episodes of Doctor Who to
the BBC."
Back in the summer, The Daily Star reported that these might
includeaThe Daleks' Master Plan:aThe Traitors, Part Four ofa
The Tenth Planeta(featuring the first ever regeneration, from
William Hartnell's Doctor into Patrick Troughton's), Episode
Three ofaThe Web of Fear, (the first appearance of Brigadier
Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart), andaThe Macra Terror.
Private collectors are said to have the completeaMarco Polo,
the fourthaDoctor Whoastory, too.
Where the tabloid got such information from is unknown.
So when is such an announcement likely? We're keeping our
fingers crossed for next month, November 2025, to help
celebrate Doctor Who's anniversary. But we've no insider
information here, so it could be at any point!
Either way, this is extremely exciting.

last find was in 2013. I worry that after 55 years or so, that tapes
would be f*ed if they haven't been stored properly.

Has someone staged a raid on Canada's most powerful ISP, KNOT-NOW.COM,
and found Binky's hidden copies??^^^^^<-PAedophile talkerr noted.

Also makes me wonder about those "private collectors". Are they like
some James Bond villains "Haha, I have the complete Marco Polo, and only
I can watch it in my bunker!"
