Correct me if I'm wrong, but nobody was searching for that particular episode of Basil Brush were they? And there's plenty of them missing. The comparison with TP4 is inapt. Statistics, as far as they go, do suggest that there's a lot of missing non-Who out there, but this has no bearing on the chance of find more Who. There's plenty of missing Basil Brushes out there but PM said this was the one and only copy he found. The same can be applied to Doctor Who, except of course Marco Polo, of which several copies were made. Sue is correct. You are trying to make 2 different scenarios the same thing. There's plenty of missing Basil Brushes out there but PM said this was the one and only copy he found. How do you know there are plenty out there? The fact that PM has only found one suggests otherwise. You've just contradicted yourself. Not that it matters are you're talking nonsense anyway. The same can be applied to Doctor Who, except of course Marco Polo, of which several copies were made. Yet none of them have so far turned up... just because a lot of copies were made initially has no baring on how many are out there now.

Ed, I really must ask you something. I'm not interested in why episode hunting should have the probability of a dice roll or why you think that only Marco Polo was copied more than once; I'm not even going to ask you how you explain that Enemy of the world #3 was found twice. I'm just curious about... What is an "embarrassment of riches"? I have no idea what that even means!Google it.

I was responding to Sue's post, saying that there are plenty of Basil Brushes missing out there. I didn't say there were. But PM clearly stated the only one copy - he is far more qualified to know this from his extensive searching. Hence, why I see hope for TP 4. In his DWM interview in 2013 he said he thought IT was out there. Not two copies.

If PM has 1 copy of Basil Brush, then there is 1 copy - he found it, so we know it exists. That's simple. However you're then confusing this with the fact that 1 copy of TP4 isn't officially accounted for. That doesn't mean it actually exists, nor does it mean that it has the same odds of surviving. Those two things are not the same.

I think Twice Upon a Time is as good an 'official accounted for' as anything so far. Definitely a case of watch this space. Also it still makes sense that if 1 isolated Basil Brush episode can be found, so can 1 isolated TP 4. My point from the start innit.

That's cleared that up then - you're trolling.

'............so logically, if she weighs the same as a duck...............'
Moderator, is it about time this rather illogical thread was put to rest?

Alan Yes, I second this; Moderator please lock it. Let's just say no more, sit back and wait for the embarrassment of riches coming our way this Dec and beyond.

I think that maybe you are trying to create false expectations to us, because you only say hyper optimist affirmations but without any reasonable argument.

I'm just curious about... What is an "embarrassment of riches"? I have no idea what that even means!Google it. No, I want you to tell me what you mean. Specifically how it's different from saying "omnirumour". However you're then confusing this with the fact that 1 copy of TP4 isn't officially accounted for. I think Twice Upon a Time is as good an 'official accounted for' as anything so far. Definitely a case of watch this space. Also it still makes sense that if 1 isolated Basil Brush episode can be found, so can 1 isolated TP 4. My point from the start innit. If that is so then where is the Amber Room, London After Midnight, and Aristotle's Poetics? '............so logically, if she weighs the same as a duck...............' Well, if I can find the car keys, then I can find the holy grail. It's basically the same thing...

Why is mentioning Tenth Planet references in that episode trolling? You used that word not me. Is everyone who cites the 'WOF is coming back' references in The Snowman trolling?

why close the thread down? besides a disagreement between the the pessimists and the lone optimist it seems legitimate to have a thread about a Phil Morris appearance on the One Show that mentions Sierra Leone. after all it's TV archive was destroyed wasn't it?
personally i'm a sit and wait person myself which is why i haven't posted for a long time but i don't think dampening one person's enthusiasm is justified unless they are saying, without evidence, they have a source, blah blah blah and spreading the omnirumour again without justification. in effect all he is doing, though not in the best way possible, is speculating if something other than non-who might have turned up lately. PV says himself there is more to come from more than one country on the General board - all the Mods have been silent on whether that is Who or not. by all means let them say yay or nay...
also look at all the other threads, speculating is all this board has got in 90% of the threads.

Don't close the thread.... Ed has livened things up around here. Cheers!
I can't call this the omnirumor.... it's the 'omnispeculation'
