You can always count on the Mirror to run away with themselves, can't you? First the "106 episodes found" and then the "Marco Polo recorded by fan to be unveiled next month" stories from 2013, and now this.

Who did the story on Mugabe? The Sun, but it was undoubtedly from the same source.

They definitely missed a chance for a good story: What if the cancellation of the nuclear deal means Iran won't give back the two audition prints of Marco Polo?

Well, the saddest part of the whole thing is that there's some gullable poor fellow in the comments section who actually is going along with it and believes it.

Ah! And now ScreenRant has posted their own article! screenrant.com/doctor-who-lost-episodes-recovered/With such great sentences such as: "[Paul] believes the 97 lost episodes could yet be recovered." (That's not what he said.) "Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Doctor Who archivist Paul Vanezis has suggested they're still out there." (Uh, no, he spoke to RFS.) "Some lost episodes were found in Ethiopia back in 2013" (Wow, wonder what could be found in Nigeria? Someone should check that place out!) We Got This Covered did a better job with their writing: wegotthiscovered.com/tv/lost-doctor-episodes-may-found/Note that Screen Rant sources Daily Mirror. We Got This Covered sources Radio Free Skaro. Not only that, they told fans not to get too excited and directly called out the Daily Mirror for being misleading.

Based on Chris Wilkinson's chart on page 2 of this thread, I've made a table showing, if one missing episode were recovered, the likelihood of what that episode would be compared to others. See the original comment for more details on why the serials are where they are.

See the original comment for more details on why the serials are where they are. Be careful! If you used the data from my previous post, then it applied to Australia prints only (using existing missing episodes data) - not every country. I've attached a chart depicting what I believe to be the most likely serials in general, not just from Australia. Ignore the numbers; they denote the serial order - not the likeliest serials to return. Still, good work though! Attachments:

I'd be interested to know what likelihood of recovery Web and Enemy would have been if your chart had been drawn up before their recovery... Highly likely?

I'd be interested to know what likelihood of recovery Web and Enemy would have been if your chart had been drawn up before their recovery... Highly likely? Using the Wayback Machine, you are able to access the BroaDWcast pages for The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear to see what they were like before the news was announced of their recovery. I selected the pages displayed for July 20th 2013. Viewed in the context of me having about as much knowledge of missing episodes as I have now from all available sources, and factoring in a reasonable amount of conservatism regarding my assumption, I am fairly sure that I would have placed Enemy and Web as 'likely' in 2013 primarily because of their estimated broadcast dates. Also, the destruction date for the negatives and remaining prints of Enemy were never ascertained, which was a major anomaly for a missing serial. However, Snowmen and Wheel would also be 'likely', instead of 'highly likely'. There would be no 'highly likely' episodes if I were to have made the chart in 2013.

Given what Phil Morris has said about prints being sent to places they'd not be bought, I'd not be surprised if a copy of Fury turned up in Nigeria, especially as the serials before and after were sent there and that they don't tend to junk stuff. The same could be true of some of the other missing season 5 serials.
