Officially, no. Eh? Hummm, well lets see.... Prior to.... um, yes! 45 years prior I believe they were.... since then, hummm... a little gray the crystal ball grows. I like the hopeful optimism, but I would replace that word 'think' with the word 'believe.' I would love to hear new (as in fresh, unhashed) theories as to their recovery and suppression I suppose the second best thing to future recoveries is the Resurrection of the omni-rumor... but no worries, I have a friend, who's roommates, step-son's, mailman's, former internet pen-pal heard on good authority they were back--therefore they are! Only a matter of time

You only have to listen to PM's upbeat words of hope in his interviews, his optimistic tone, and his 'lottery winner' look in any photos to know he's won the ME jackpot. Rumours coming from any 'my postman's barber's Uncle's mate' be damned.

I am inclined to agree with the last post. I have some hope still good days are coming

If good times are coming there is no time like the present. . .
unless he has found something that has a few missing episodes and they are animating the missing bits after the disaster that was the BBC Worldwide (specifically ordered) reconstruction of the missing episodes of "The Underwater Menace"

I'm still banking on The Wheel in Space - its 50th anniversary will be in three days, incidentally.

I firmly 'believe' he has found something, but I'm not convinced of a large haul. He does have optimism.
Good days are ahead, but I'm not sure they will be soon.
Orphans will likley trickle in for many decades. Likley mush prints will undergo great lengths to recover any scrap possible.
I guess I'm in the middle camp between 'nothing has been anounced, therefore nothing found' and 'he's sitting on a massive pile and biding time.' I hope for the former, but fear the latter.
It's been 40 years, hope wanes, but some will always remain.

Really creative and atmospheric-I wish this could be run as alternative recons during the serial instead of the animations!

The sad thing about The Underwater Menace recon is that the poor job was "specifically commissioned" that way when the Restoration Team offered to do a much better job with it. A poor attempt to kill off the classic series DVD line, of course then we get 6 animated episodes of "The Power of the Daleks".
I still have not watched episode 2 of "The Underwater Menace" to this day even though I have had it on the shelf since it was released. You wait and see that one will get a "special edition" one of these days as well

Maybe they were already in talks with the people who animated Power & Shada, and UM was supposed to be the first project, and that's why they got upset and went for the minimum possible reconstruction, hoping they could go back and do an SE with better animation at a later date?

The fans get screwed again. The only organisation that benefits is my local charity shop who gets my original releases in advance of the SEs!.
