At Outpost Gallifrey, hawkeye pierce made the following post in a thread about missing episodes (most wanted episodes - the usual harmless fun):
I did ask for the name of the magazine in the thread, but didn't get a response. Does anyone know anything further about this (i.e. which magazine)? Being so darn negative, I think it's a mistake especially if those who are most likely to know about it don't, though I do wonder what the chances are of reels being returned and the Restoration Team not being altered (whilst the folk at the magazine do know).

I know nothing of the rumour, but if it is reels of film it will *not* be any of the missing colour Pertwees.

Hey, there is the possibility that if the thread is indeed true that some missing episodes could of been returned. Would'nt that be cool, what a neat way to start off the summer that would be. Anyone else, a member of the RT team have any comments on this subject.
Thanks,Lance.

And remember though, it's only summer in half of the world. The other half is heading towards winter.....sorry to be a pedant. |

probably derived from this post on OG
Sounds like a garbled way of saying that all the ntsc pertwees the BBC had recovered were being converted.
which is true, i don't think this is anything new.

Most likely,
However thare is always the possibility that something could of been returned? And they decided not to inform the who community, this could of happened? Has anyone contacted the BBC or the Restoration Team about these returned reels of film? If anyone else has any info, or could answer some of those questions that would be great.
Thanks,Lance.

I think Mark Brown is probably right. What he said is exactly what I thought when I read the quote he posted. Whilst I guess it is possible that some reels have been returned without the Restoration Team or fandom knowing anything about it, it's highly unikely or just because they're redudant prints. It's sadly more likely to be a typographical error or inaccurate information. |

Ditto. I got lynched the last time I corrected someone's written English (and then, to add insult to injury, I made a consistent spelling mistake throughout that post!). ;D
This particular mistake has to be one of my pet hates. It usually turns me off reading any piece of writing containing such errors completely. A shame sometimes when said piece may contain a useful piece of information. Still, if an author can't be bothered to write with care and precision then I can’t be bothered to read it (and wouldn’t blame anyone else sharing similar sentiments).
The following is NOT intended as a personal attack on the values of ANY ONE PERSON contributing to these boards: past, present OR future:
It strikes me as curious that the rest of the world seems to insist on English-speakers respecting another language when said persons neglect to extend the same courtesy to English as a spoken or written language. Our language and culture is important too…

If any DW material had been recovered from the US or anywhere else (or any other archive material for that matter), it would be sent to the Windmill Road archive to be logged, either directly to the Intake office or via the TV Archivist. In either case the Restoration Team would be informed.
I think this magazine article must be the usual journalistic mix-up of information - no new DW material has been returned from America...
