when was the last complete dr who episode concidered lost found? i've been on this site as a guest and have posted on here ages ago, but you soon lose track of things.
I got very excited at an antiques fair the other week as found canisters of old film. but sadly they were empty, the stall holder told me he had purchaced them empty from a dealer - but as usual refused to name the original man he purchased from!!!!!

"Day of Armageddon" - returned to BBC in 2004, to answer your question.
As a side note, a lot of people will refrain from dropping names but not everyone has a nefarious reason for doing so...

That may be so but them's the rules (and there are very few of those anyway).

Well, the recovery rate for complete Doctor Who episodes has been pretty bad for the last sixteen years. Only The Lion and Day of Armageddon have been returned since The Tomb of the Cybermen was found in late 1991.  |

I must admit I was a bit confused about where Laurence was taking this... |

thanks for replies its interesting that even post-internet that finds are still limited The vast majority of recoveries occurred during the pre-internet 1980s. Whatever may still be out there, the internet has served mainly as a source of rumour, speculation, misinformation and the occasional hoax. I'm not saying this is surprising or a bad thing, but I do think some people have overestimated the power of the world-wide-web in the location and retrieval of lost TV material (not just 'Who'). |

Well, a few good bits have come back via the net, such as season 1 avengers, Z cars, lots of rare music clips etc, so its not all bad  |

Well, I think the best thing is to see the cup as half full in this situation, ok its only a few episodes and clips, but they are extremely outstanding ones! And there will be more complete episodes back before another decade has passed I suspect, so thats something to look forward to! Just my opinion |
