Don't spoil it for them by laying out the brutal truth! They enjoy all that highly coloured speculation, melodrama and mystery far too much! Mmm, and there's a better mystery about Troughton episodes in Canada, which even non-fans claim to have seen. Plenty of speculation and mystery there already. Anyway, since Dalek Masterplan was never sold abroad (I think), why would prints have been struck? Was a viewing print struck automatically, or are the recovered copies likely the ones that were originally sent to Australia as preview copies?

I believe prints were struck for sales purposes of all Masterplan episodes except The Feast Of Steven (being a self-contained Xmas interlude episode). I think i'm right in saying that was the only episode ever that was not offered for sale. As far as the rest Masterplan is concerned, i'm not sure if it WAS actually sold anywhere outside of the UK or not. I'm sure someone here will be able to say.

I read somewhere that Australia were sent all 12 eps plus Mission to the unknown, but the censors nearly had a heart attack and made so many cuts to all the episodes due to the violent scenes that they decided to return all eps back to the Uk and it was never broadcast. But they did view it but due to the early broadcast slot and their sensitivity it was the only story to get a total ban. I doubt if their archives would have anything cos they never kept the prints long enough to actually cut anything.

Good point. After watching these remaining episodes, one feels the need to view 'Straw Dogs' for some light relief! ;-)

Since Pat Trougtons wre bdcast as late as 75 what I'm hoping is that someone taped these on primitive VTR's and kept them..
I used to know a guy who clamed to record some at a Uni with thier "test" Vtr's !!

this is a good lead, do you still have contact with this man and does he know what happened to them?(probably recorded over)

Regarding the overseas sales of The Daleks' Master Plan, I believe that Episodes 1 through to 6 and 9 through to 12 and Mission to the Unknown were only sold to one country - Australia - but they were never broadcast. I don't think it's actually known what happened to the film prints, but I don't think they were returned to the BBC (though I recall some rumours suggest otherwise and going as far as to say that they were "junked") because I've heard lots of stories and rumours regarding the story still being in Australia and people searching for it. (I recall one rumour concerning it still being in the Australian archives, but the television company were uncooperative with the BBC when they enquired).
Might post a few thoughts on the recovery of Day of Armageddon another time (I've done so on many other boards, so it's not as exciting any more)...

I was disapointed at the amount of press coverage this got, none at all as far as i could tell.

Mmm, and there's a better mystery about Troughton episodes in Canada, which even non-fans claim to have seen. Plenty of speculation and mystery there already. No mystery at all ... not one shred of evidence that anything was ever broadcast after Keys of Marinus on CBC in 1965 until the Three Doctors on TVO in 1976. Two or three people claim to remember seeing something, but none can positively identify when and where they saw it. Several of us here, have scoured contemporary TV listings in newspapers from across the country, and found nothing (though I remember seeing some listings for Z Cars!). Nick

Were the Hartnell episodes screened in Canada shown under the title of 'Dr Who', or were they shown as a feature of some other magazine programme ?

Nick Dear Nick, I've tried to reach you by email recently with this question but to no avail: I received an email recently from somebody who saw it mentioned on this forum that Troughton episodes of Doctor Who were broadcast in Canada as part of the CBC's children's program "Magic Shadows." Can you confirm whether this is an avenue of research which has already been addressed? Thanks. I'd love to hear from you by email as well, if you have the chance...

It was covered in one of the broadsheets - either the Guardian or The Indy as I wouldn't touch any of the others with a crappy stick - and on Teletext. Not sure about anywhere else.
