 Since April I have been searching trough the internet for information about Doctor Who's Missing Episodes and I found many TV Stations according to websites and blogs that I have been reading since April and I have wroten down many different things to clear up who I shall contact and where these episodes may be today and so far I have gotten this list: Australia [ABC] The Daleks' Master Plan Barbados [CBC] Marco Polo The Reign of Terror The Crusade Galaxy 4 The Myth Makers The Massacre The Celestial Toymaker The Savages The Smugglers Ethiopia [ETV] Marco Polo The Reign of Terror The Crusade Gibraltar [GBC] The Abominable Snowmen The Web of Fear The Wheel in Space Jamaica [JBC] Marco Polo The Reign of Terror The Crusade Nigeria [RKTV/BPTV] & [NTA] The Abominable Snowmen The Web of Fear The Wheel in Space Singapore [RTS/MediaCorp] Mission to the Unknown The Tenth Planet The Power of The Daleks The Highlanders The Underwater Menace The Moonbase The Macra Terror The Faceless Ones The Evil of The Daleks I contacted Philip Morris trough he's website TIEA.CO.UK and sadly he responsed with that he had searched all of these TV Stations [Except For NTA in Nigeria] and that they were empty, I contacted all of these TV Stations except for NTA before I e-mailed him. I found out about NTA (Nigerian Television Authority) after I e-mailed him so he only got the other TV Stations so I don't know anything about NTA (Yet), I E-mailed them straight away when I found them and I got an E-mail from them suprisingly fast with the answer that they were going to do a search in their archive but to not get my hopes up since these episodes are over 50 years old and they may not have them today. The only other Station that have answered me was ABC in Australia and of course they didn't have any footage as Phil said (I got an E-mail from them a week after I sent to all of them except NTA in May), but I e-mailed Phil on Sunday (7th Aug. 2016) and I got answer from him the same day and then I E-mailed NTA later that day and got answer from them the same day as well that they were going to have a look. Now I'm completely empty of any areas or TV Stations where The Missing Episodes could possibly be and the only hope I have left is NTA who is doing a search and that I have not got an answer from. So I just want to know from any of you here if you had some TV Stations in which Country that may have some missing footage? Attachments:

Perhaps be a bit guarded about your expectations. It's not as if this wasn't tried before (by phone) and it seems too good to be true that episodes could be found with just a few emails. Not absolutely impossible, but not quite likely. There's Iran, but what can be done there, I wonder.
I have myself questioned the Thai TV stations so I can't blame you for trying though.
I wish some other missing shows would get the same level of attention!
Out of interest, what would you do if you found any?

I would send an E-mail to Phil straight away with Photo Evidence of the E-mail by the TV Station with information of the Country, TV Station, E-mail & Episode.  |

Iran might actually be a little bit safer these days. Although that's in relative terms; personally I've no plans to book a holiday in Tehran for at least... ooh, maybe a thousand years or so?

Oh, I don't know. People have been going on holiday there. Same as Cuba, I suppose. Or Singapore. Might be safer than for example Naples. |

I was planning on sending them an e-mail back in May, but the only missing story that they may have is Marco Polo which isn't confirmed if they even bought or aired and on the tv station website its not in English so I gave up on them.  |

After Phil Morris visits, the TV station certainly will be empty. |

Yeah thats why I'm trying to find TV Stations were its possible that there can be some missing footage from Doctor Who and then if I get answer that they got something then I will contact Phillip Morris so he can take over and ether decide to visit them or get information if it is missing footage of Doctor Who or something thats already in BBC's archive |

Sorry if I'm a bit out of touch, but has Iran been properly searched yet to see if they still have Marco Polo or anything else missing? And if not, will Phil be paying a visit to the archive there?

The most heart-breaking aspect of Phillip Morris's 'boots to the ground' plan is that he turned up at TV-Stations who had just recently destroyed material.How sad is that???He probably had never thought that that would have been one of the ramifications of his episode hunting after so many years.You would have thought that the junking swere over,done and dusted.Not still happening now in the 21st century.And the guy who stole WOF3?Doesn't he realize that it was mass-viewing and mass-appreciation that allowed Dr.Who to develop and be financed by the BBC to become the programme we know and love-not a minority show to be appreciated by a select few?

Have you guys thought about Hong Kong or other Asian countries with a large Brit. expat. population? A lot of 'missing' Navy Larks were discovered there during the Beeb's so-called Treasure Hunt, having been recorded by an enthusiastic home taper. The Beeb re-aired them on BBC R7 some year's later.

Yeah I tried to send an E-mail to the Hong Kong TV Station that aired these Missing Episodes back in the 60s, but The TV Station got closed down in the 80s so they can't be contacted by E-mail or at all. So I sadly can't contact the Hong Kong TV Station. |

So I sadly can't contact the Hong Kong TV Station. But why not send emails to the local HK press asking if anyone has home-taped recordings? Or if anyone knows the ex-staff of these stations? There must also surely be OTR enthusiasts in HK likely Brit. expats. Just a few thoughts. Also I expect that the British Forces Broadcasting Service had a station in HK. Might be worth contacting Juergen Boernig [https://plus.google.com/108282382617855049227/posts] who runs the BFBS archive blog at [http://bfbs-radio.blogspot.co.uk/]. |
