Yes...many's the day that DE readers will gather over mulled 7-Up and talk late into the early afternoon about the provenance of tele-recorded film copies of video tapes...shortly before deciding whether or not to commit mass suicide.... I don't get this--you've got to be familiar with the literature. This is a forum dedicated to "missing episodes". There's too much content in fandom which is straight off some webste, and not enough original reserch. Jon's the last person to have a go at! I'm really envious. ABC moved all their archives to Sydney. Martin -- sfsa.org.au/, the South Australian Doctor Who Fan Club, Inc. |

We've already done a Spirit transfer of the master print of this episode, it was what we used for the VHS release of the story.
The print is a bit soft down one side of frame, but otherwise it is generally reasonable.

Well, I'm not familiar with it. Sorry! I have never read a single issue of DE, and though I understand it is a fine publication I am no worse the wear for not having done so. That aspect of the technical side I simply do not care about. And that's actually not a crime.

I agree 100%, oddly enough.
Jon's the last person to have a go at!
Oh please. I wasn't 'having a go' at Jon, and he doesn't need others to stick up for him. I was just making the point in an admittedly silly way that even among hardcore fans the truth of how and why Dinosaurs #1 was telerecorded is just not important. And that is why the erroneous legend of how it got film rec'd exists to this day. Not very many people cared enough about the issue to find out the truth, and not very many more gave a damn when the truth was discovered. I do not see why you have to be interested in all aspects of episode recovery. I'm not. My interest lies almost solely in the recovery of the missing 60s stories, and the provenance of the lost colour Pertwee episodes is a definite back-burner issue for me. And that's OK! That doesn't mean I don't consider Jon's interest inherently valid or worthwhile (so what if I DID?), or that his research isn't valuable and very useful; it's just not as exciting to me and others as the hunt for episodes that are actually missing as it is to Jon and other fans. If this alarms some folks, I have to ask for God's sake why? My point was at the start was that it was not by any means common knowledge exactly how Dinosaurs #1 got telerecorded...it was true then, and it's still true.

I can understand the Pertwee stories being on the backburner for you. Considering the technology used to restore the color to many Pertwee stories (i.e The Daemons), looking for missing color copies isn't really an ugent need in most instances. |

OK, here's a great solution.
Start a web page devoted to arcana of missing episodes. Make this sort of relativly obscure news your speciality.
You can call it "Public Record".

Actually, that's such a good idea I'll do it myself.

I thought being here was doing exactly that ?

It's true this section of the forum is devoted to Who missing episodes, but not necissarily the arcane detials. Which I can both post here and then incorporate into my site. And this is not mine. And my site needs content.
