Hey Guys,
I have a good lead which looks quite promising. That is all I can really say, at this time.
Lance.

Excellent. In that case, we should all just sit back and be patient, and hope we're watching some recovered episodes before we know it.

I'm the kind of guy who would love to see any episode recovered, although another Troughton episode (or even story) would be fantastic.

I feel that way too, but Troughton is so unrepresented we must get more of his back - his first complete story is not until Tomb and not one single complete story from season 4 exists.

power of the daleks would be good, I wonder if they are colour pertwees though? That would be a major disappointment, unless it was something from "Ambassadors" or "Planet of the Daleks" or "Mind of Evil". Everything else (unless I forgot something) seems to be able to be fixed with computers.

Hey Guys, I have a good lead which looks quite promising. That is all I can really say, at this time. Lance. Hi Lance. Can you give out any vague hints so that we can engage ourselves in some idle speculation until you can fill us in properly ;D Something along the lines of Is it an Australian/English/American/Other country discovery? Is it an entire season/story/episode/clips/telesnaps ? How confident are you that it will result in a recovery? Have you uncovered every missing episode? Was the collector aware of its importance before you contacted him? Should we be getting excited? So many more questions to be asked of you Lance! I know that it all takes time but a few tantalizing tidbits shouldn't upset the apple cart too much? ;D I understand if you cannot give out any infomation though.

I wonder how many leads there have been over the years? Many, I would say. And how many have lead to a recovered episode...? Few.
Now, this is not to question the veracity of Lance's lead (after all, I know nothing about it), but I do think that it is unwise to count chickens before they are hatched.
Personally, whenever I've had a lead, I have said nothing as I don't want to raise false hopes. Which is a good job, as all the leads I've had (and there's not been many) have come to nothing.
Lance: I hope you are succesful with this lead. It will be good to get another episode back!

I am not building hopes up. Don't get overly excited. I have a lead that claims to have the location of some titles ( I sent him the list of missing episodes ). However it could take some time to see any results. So, once again I ask you guys to please be patient. and hopefully we will see some material returned.
Lance.

Hmmmm. I'd really love you to find something Lance, but it sounds highly dubious.
I hope you make me eat my words though =)

Well… Here’s to hoping. Although most are sceptical about leads with so many bogus rumours having done the rounds, there’s always a possibility there may be some random episodes out there. While TV stations in likes of New Zealand, Canada and Australia may have been already exhaustively searched, there is a possibility that there could be more missing episodes like The Lion in private hands. There will be those that will argue that if this were the case these would have been returned by now, I feel however that they would not necessarily wish to surrender them. It’s not always the case, but some collectors take an interest in rare items. If for arguments sake someone had an episode or two and they returned them, it would in turn render them of little commercial value to the collector.

Yesterday, I heard something about Ian Levine knowing that fifteen minutes from The Power of the Daleks is held by a fan that won't allow the BBC to make a copy of it. I also heard specific mention of LanceM in relation to the known whereabouts of a missing story. This was from a friend who doesn't even have Internet access! Is this a case of Chinese whispers getting out of hand? Where has this 'fifteen minutes from "Power"' detail come from?
