This is my first thread I've created on the site. I've not long been a member but i'd just like to say: the community on here seems awesome. The posts are always very fun and informative to read. Right, onto this hypothetical question: A mystical entity materialises in front of you and offers you two choices: - OPTION A: The survival and safe return of all missing episodes from your THREE most desired serials is assured, but every other extant print of any other Doctor Who missing episode out there is instantly vaporised out of existence. (You are NOT informed of how many are out there, therefore it's an out-and-out gamble in a way).
- OPTION B: You politely decline and it's as if this encounter never happened. The current state of affairs is resumed.
What would you pick? Option A or option B? All complete serials are equal in value e.g. picking The Web of Fear (the guaranteed return of solely episode 3) is of equal worth as picking The Daleks Master Plan (getting 9 episodes for 1 pick). Would you cut your losses and pick option A, the full blooded gamble, with the mindset that little to no other prints may be out there (of which none may be from your favourite serials) and therefore you feel the salvation of your three serials is the safer option (bear in mind that the caveat to this is that for all we know...90 missing episodes are out there,of which your three serials are a part, and so you would have been screwed over), or would you pick option B and hope that there are a load of episodes still out there waiting to be found and let our timeline resume?

I'll bite.
As there is no certainty as to what is still out there or if it will ever be found if anything else does exist, I am going to take the pragmatists course on this and chose option A, a guaranteed return, with the bonus of a full stop on the eternal search for missing who.
The abominable snowmen, fury and macra. Thank you, oh mighty entity!

Option A: My Choice of 3
a) The Myth Makers - Ancient History is an interest of mine plus the recovery would give us a greater representation of Katarina in the archive b) The Smugglers - the audio of this tale makes this adventure sound as if it was a fun romp to watch back in 1966. c) "The Space Pirates" - I would hope the discovery of this serial would do the same for it, as the discovery of episodes did for Enemy of the World, increase fan appreciation of the adventure.

Option A: The rate stuff comes back and the indication there isn’t much left.... I’d have to go with this.
I’d choose Masterplan, Marco, and Fury. I’ll loose out on a couple of my favorite stories but I’m going for quantity here and that will include two stories that we’ve no episodes for.

Would the entity be ginger and have the initials "PM" by any chance?

Marco Polo, The Evil of the Daleks and Fury from the Deep would be my top three for Option A.

DMP (does it include MTTU?), EVIL, FURY. I'm afraid not, just MMTU or DMP. I assume you'd go with DMP? _____________________________________________________________ I'd go with Option A myself, like everyone in here so far, and pick the following: - Fury from the Deep
- Power of the Daleks
- The Faceless Ones

DMP, Evil and Macra (with a sad farewell to ever hoping to see Fury).

I originally typed "Without hesitation: Marco, Masterplan, Evil."
Then I hesitated. Evil? Or Power?? Oh, the humanity!
Keep in mind, this is the only way we'll ever get FoS back...
Hey! Could I claim Planet of Giants and get the original parts 3 & 4 back? Not that I'd actually choose that, I'm just curious.

Magic being? Definitely planet of giants 3& 4.... or the daleks 1 before remount. Power or evil is tough. Pre-nov 2016 I'd say power, now I say evil by a hair.
Never much cared for the audio and recon of FoS. Wouldn't turn it down, but on the wish list, it falls last--even behind remounts of planet of giants 3 & 4 and daleks 1.
With my luck I take option 1, get 3 serials, then am told that "oh by the way, a secret stash of 90+ just vaporized."
