Brain of morbius probably.
Or possibly something from the McCoy era.

Hi all, What are your predictions on which Doctor Who story will least likely never be found? I think Mission To The Unknown what are you opinions? Plus Feast of Stephen. iirc the last complete story to be recovered was Tomb. A lost classic became the only complete b&w Cyberman story. At the time that was probably near the top of any fan's "most wanted" list - and it turned up. |

I have a Betamax of the one after Revelation of the Daleks, when Colin Baker takes Peri to Blackpool and encounters "the Celestial name changer"... Oh my God, you started this thread!

Or possibly something from the McCoy era. Ah, now those are some episodes I would gladly trade to recover some of the Patrick Troughton stories. |

The Feast of Steven is gone for good, there's no hope looking for it.
The Tenth Planet 4 has been searched for all around, and there's no trace of its existence.
Anything from Season Five is probably gone for good.

I'd like to know if the BBC say that an episode is officially wiped or junked, does that actually mean it is?
I mean, weren't other episodes officially logged as "wiped" but turned up later? If it's true that employees took episodes home with them, stuffed in their coats, rather than watch them burn, is it not possible that an episode such as Feast of Steven could actually exist?
How did Day of Armageddon get into the hands of the ex BBC bod who returned it? Surely that must have been recorded as destroyed??

They gave it to him to junk, but he liked it so he kept it.
The Feast of Steven may have been kept, but that is highly unlikely. In fact, most employees apparently "watched them burn."

I have never seen it said anywhere they "watched them burn". Where does it say this?
Feast of Steven is just as likely to exist as any other episode at least in terms of episodes being thrown on the fire. The fact that it was not sold abroad obviously comes into it a bit!!
I find it hard to believe that they can remember watching specific episodes burn.

In Reply #8.
Also, the Feast of Steven had no copies made, and the lone pressing was either burned or wiped. If it was wiped, then we won't get it back, that's that. If it was kept, an ex-BBC worker probably has it in his/her basement, and has long since forgotten about it, which is the extremely optimistic point of view. Most likely it was just burned.
It is gone forever. Accept it.

I do accept it. I couldn't care less if it comes back or not to be honest. It's not that important in my life anymore.

Well, "accept it" is what should be told to anybody that believes the Feast of Steven still exists, in my opinion.

Well you could say that about any episode.
