Just got a phone call from my mate and now all the txts are coming through my mobile.
wonderful news and how ironic that it came from a source at ITV.
What is the print quality like.
Is it 16mm or 35mm like the clips we have of the daleks burning the jungle. Any varga plants in in and is this one with Brian Cant or was that ep 1?
When can we see it
BBC4 would be a good choice one evening with the other 2 perhaps all vidfired
I am getting carried away aren`t I?

It's a standard 16mm film recording as far as I know (no inside knowledge here!) It won't be as good quality as the film inserts but they could be substituted at the appropriate time for the film-recroded versions.
Brian Cant's character IIRC gets exterminated in episode 1 (in one of the existing film inserts for that episode).

Yes you are but it's great news and if you love the series then why not? However I suspect it's only a matter of time before someone bemoans the fact it's Dr Who again and why can't something else be recovered. Not me though...

Not me either, but I really wish that it would've been one that would complete a story, or at least almost complete one. Hmm. Since BBC Video have supposedly "completed" their mission to get every Dr. Who episode out on VHS now, what happens next? Any chance of a release of all the orphaned Dalek episodes (including previously-released ones getting a VidFIRE treatment) on one tape? I say tape as it appears the BBC's DVD policy is to avoid incomplete stories for now... |

Wow this is fantastic news!!! ;D So good to hear more episodes being recovered!!! I'm very positive that more will show up as time rolls on. I'm not sure if early episodes of Dr Who from the 60s were repeated in Australia during the mid/late 70s but if they are then I may have possible luck finding them on Philips VCR cassettes I collect.
Hmmm, I wonder how many people owned a pre-EIAJ format B&W reel-reel 1/2" VTR back in the mid/late 60s as they were around (at least in schools and industries) and I myself have picked up a 1967 Sony CV-2100CE from a scrapyard up in Bulli, so they were around in Australia too during the 60s. It be a good source to find Dr Who shows on if by any luck any were taped.
Cheers
Troy

Just when the Doctor Who trail seems to have dried up, a new recovery is made! Just goes to prove my belief that the majority of 'em are out there somewhere waiting to be found in the most unexpected ways and places...

Hartnell was being shown up to the summer of 1968, with Troughton episodes running until very early 1972.
New Zealand had Hartnell until late 1969, and Troughton until late 1971 or so. They didn't run Troughton's last season.
Chances of any off-airs from this period are rather doubtful I'd imagine...

Any discovery is welcome.  I think the early PAL countries might hold some treasures. The search for missing episodes has to be extended to Western Europe and Ireland. Sadly neglected so far. Was there ever a discovery from there? |

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
saw the news on ceefax last night
but another rom this story odd since it was sold to the least number of countries, so this perhaps makes the stories sold to more overseas companies more likely to survive

Just to say I thought this was great news, it's exciting just seeing other people excited about what's on the tape to be honest. I'd like to see incomplete episodes of Dr Who such as this turn up on DVD's for complete episodes. if people get to see them, then more people may come forward.
I think it's a really worthy goal to keep hunting for this stuff, so everyone, whether it's the BBC, BFI, this site, collectors, fans, engineers, whoever... good luck to you!
I look forward to a time when we might see a lot more.
Only 108 episodes to go!
Cheers
Paul
