When the missing years documentary was made Deborah Watling bless her had to say the immortal line it is sadly unlikely that anymore doctor who episodes will turn up...who would ever thought then that on dvd we would now have 1)The Lion 2)The Day Of Armageddon 3)Airlock 4) The Underwater Menace Episode 2 5)The Enemy Of The World Episodes 1,2,4,5 and 6 6)The Web Of Fear Episodes 2,4,5 and 6
All those lost classics back..and we may get lucky again cos as we know we will never know when we reach the end.
The hunt goes on but as a sixties who fan my eternal thanks to everyone who played apart in bringing these gems and any future ones back to us

I live in hope that episode 4 of Tenth Planet will be found only because I find it odd that the first, 3 episodes exist. Someone must have conclusively known what happened to it. Someone once said that it is possible that the Blue Peter copy of Episode 4 (from which the regeneration sequence was trimmed) may have come from the only remaining copy at BBC Enterprises. Upon completion of the Blue Peter programme it may well be that the remains of the episode, now in pieces, was returned to the wrong branch of the BBC, who took one look and burnt it. Sadly, the various branches of this organization did not always communicate.

I always thought the clip came off of the Quad VT and not a telerecording.

The Blue Peter clip is sourced from quad VT (625 Pal) but the Tenth Planet sequence itself was definitely from 16mm telerecording (the original 405 tapes erased by that time).

If you watch the complete Blue Peter segment (available on The Tenth Planet DVD and posted here) you can tell that all the Doctor Who clips featured are sourced from telerecordings. I'm sure the Restoration Team cleaned up the regeneration clip for use in documentaries so that it looks more like the original videotape - in fact I'd always thought it was from the Quad Master as well until I read the full story in Wiped!

I do live in hope that the most important doctor who story's final episode will be found, as I wonder if that episode is in a old bbc building somewhere
