What's happened to this board? I can't believe you're not all talking about the Fury From The Deep stuff that's been found!!!

All such news is good, but perhaps playing "Devil’s Advocate", it is poignant to hear that after all these years of meticulous hunts for such material, it should turn up in such an observable place!
How many BBC 16mm negative cans match their assumed contents?
The answer is that in such a vast collection there must be errors. It would even be possible to predict statistically how many of these exist in ‘x’ number of film cans.
Not many, mind you, but some.
Another question to perhaps consider is the fate of other, less well known programmes……
I’d like to hope that other possibilities aren’t being ignored. Whilst it is fortunate that early Dr Who negatives were saved from BBC Enterprises in the late 1970s, what happened to the other programmes which no-one cared about?
The chances are that many other tv programmes, including popular Enterprises sales science fiction (Out of the Unknown) were virtually sitting side by side with Dr. Who in the late 70s and are now long gone.

It's just film trims of the weed crature's attack. About 3 minutes of matrial apprently, though none of it was actually in the transmitted epiosdes being the material that was left out.

OH Dear! Is that all? Oh well served me right for getting my hopes up. That story was a beauty. I was 13 in 1968 and still have great memories of it. OH WELL! ASM.

You truly are the luckiest person I know It was shown 10 years before my first memories of Dr Who, but ever since hearing the audio for the time about 10 years ago it's held me spellbound. The characterisations are among the best the series ever attained IMHO, and the portrayals by the cast near-sublime. I'll be waiting eagerly for the day we see all the surviving footage (behind the scenes included), together as an extra! Rich

in what form has this film been found, I heard it was being used as a leader for another film. If so then many episodes may exist in bits as leaders all over the archive in thousands of cans, if they could all be found and stuck back together?

Dear Folks! I believe the footage is from transmitted story, BUT! the clips survive because what Australian Telly censored hence their lucky survival. I believe and hope that is correct. Yes in early 1968 I was 12 going on 13and VERY much terrified by "Fury From The Deep" I'm told one of the scenes found is of `Oak and Quills` "Gas Attack" so to speak! SCARY!! OOOOHHH!! ASM

New Footage then! Well anythings better than nothing . I can tell you though I DISTINCTLY remember one very scary scene back in 68. IF my theory is sound and it might be an AUstralian censor cut that scene will be the same. Now if only I could view it to check.

I think you can still see the gas attack scene on the BBC Doctor Who website on their video page. It was there the last time I looked.

Your'e right, I viewes it. That was MOST DEFINATLY screened back in 68! gave me nightmares more than Cybermen, Yeti & Ice Warriors put together!! That is definatly a censored Australian cut. I don't care what anyone says I know that its from the British transcription. An Adamant. ASM

I`m not quite sure what your actually saying now ASM, but let me clarify all this.
Oak & Quill's Gas Attack: Scene removed by the australian censor & recovered in 1996
Film Trims: Unused takes found being used as leader mateiral in 2003
They are 2 entirely different finds.

Hello Mark I,m saying I remember the `Attack` sequence. I mentioned it before i was able to check out the Dr Who forum, which means my memory was correct! That scene was transmitted in 1968. I'm certainly no magician or mind reader and could not have viewed that clip as its only just turned up. Honest Al.

I`ve just got a bit lost in the thread... you say you saw fury in the 60s when it was screened, then say you couldn`t have seen it till recently as it just turned up (it has been released on video for a good few years though) it reads as though youre saying that the gas attack footage has only just this second turned up, but it hasn`t I`m probably just being an idiot though.
