It's a fake listing which will no doubt be removed shortly...

Rather amazingly, the seller managed to randomly photograph exactly the same frame that John Cura took a photo of as well...  Cura Telesnap |

...and the telesnap is from Episode 4...whilst the so called film print claims to be Episode 1.

There is not a pixel's difference between the three frames that have been 'photographed'. If you turn the image sideways and do a 'magic eye' stereogram (basically crossing your eyes so the images merge together), they are identical. Yet the rest of the film is covered in scratches and marks. Interested to see what happens though as no doubt this breaches eBay regulations. What's the point of listing it?!

Hate it when people do this and get people's hopes up. Watched the reconstruction of this one last night. Here's hoping the real episodes turn up one day.

Perfect square edges to the frames, too, aren't they?

I messaged the seller last night just to play them at their own game, requesting a less blurry photo of the film canister. This was their reply:
'Yes I will do tomorrow. It is a replacement tin though - it doesn't have any bbc markings on it. As I understand it the film was found unwound with no tin in a rubbish bin.'
Also, new photo today - a telesnap of Steven. Anyone recognise it?

Someone ask them if they will do an anonymous sale, for a shadowy private collector, cash in hand of course |

The telesnap of Steven is from Episode 4, when he's said goodbye to the Doctor and Dodo and is about to leave the room.

Funny you should say that. The seller has added a note saying he has made a mistake and it actually IS Episode 4.
"There's something very satisfying about destroying this hoax, don't you agree?"
