I'm certainly not as experienced at this sort of this as many of the people on this board, but I'm going to check out both the fairs to see if I can possibly turn anything up. I figure its worth a shot!

[Rob Moss]

Do not go from stand to stand saying "scuse me, have you got any Dr Who?". Ask about tv shows generally.

Best advice I can come up with.

[LanceM]

I agree with Rob on this one, ask if they have any old tv shows on film and go from there. Sounds like an interesting prospect to me, deffinitely worth following up at least.

Lance.

[Greg H]

Couldnt agree with the above more Its a very good idea to have a good look around the markets, but its always worth remembering that dr who fans dont have a good rep with everyone in the film collecting world.
Keep an eye out for A for andromeda as well, felt like watching a couple more eps of that at work today, lol

Best of luck mate!!

[Paul Ryan]

Thanks for the advice guys. Looking forward to checking it out!

[Paul Ryan]

So I went to the fair this morning and it was pretty much all film and photography equipment on sale. I didn't find any film reels at all. Still, the group that ran the fair is predominately dedicated to the mechanical means of photographic production, so I pretty much expected that. Glad I went though. There's the bigger fair in Glenroy next month and I'll definitely be checking that one out.

[Greg H]

Always worth networking though, on the 'mate of a mate' principle........ stranger things have happened. Good stuff anyway

Good luck, Paul. You are doing the right thing. You can never tell what could be found at film fairs. I admire your proactive stance in looking for lost episodes. I would like to thank you for your efforts.

[LanceM]

Hello Paulryan,

Was just currious how the researching and looking into the upcoming Australian Film Fairs was progressing ? Sounded like a interesting prospect for possible material to reside. If nothing, understand, just currious is all.

Cheers, Lance.

[Paul Ryan]

Hi Lance,

It's coming along very slowly, but I'm getting there. I've been concentrating primarily on Melbourne-based fairs (because that means I can get to them myself!) but I'm looking for fairs in other states as well in case others can attend. I'm searching on the web so far (and there's not a lot about film collecting/trading in Australia online) but I'll see what else I can find.

Thanks for the kind words John, much appreciated!

[LanceM]

Hello Again John,

Many thanks for the update, much appreciated. Doing a great job here, hopefully you will find some good material out there. For instance, I find it interesting upon learning that the recovered and discussed episode 5 of The Dominators was a Ex-ABC print, I seem to also remember the batch of censor clips containing edited footage for ep 5, and the other known episode material taken from the ABC provided prints. Also that the episode of The Celestial Toymaker ( Final Test ) was discovered still within the ABC Archive, I also seem to remember rumors of a Australian collector in the 1990's claiming that he had all ( at the time missing ) episodes of Hartnell classic The Dalek Invasion of Earth on 16mm, a fan group obtained this news as I recall. Anyway, just leaves me thinking of the possibilities being good for other Doctor Who material to be found in Australia ?

Again, Excellent work here John !

Cheers, Lance.

The Dalek Invasion of Earth has never been missing, Lance!

Indeed, Sue Malden found during her first audit in 1978. It broadcast by TVNZ back in 1988 and I taped it at the time.
