Was it Andrew Ainsworth or Darren Gregory who made this discovery? I cant recall off of the top of my head.

And your point being?
Film cans were/are re-used all the time. Maybe the print went walkies, maybe not.
I don't understand why you posted this.

Clearly it is part of our new friend's agenda. I dont know what they're on about if im honest, but sure, go ahead, might be fun.
And Richard, if im not far off of the mark, I think it was actually Andrew ainsworth who discovered the empty film can in question. IIRC it was discovered in Egypt in the great pyramid of Giza.

No, Richard it was definitely Egpyt, Indiana Jones style running from a polystyrene boulder and the whole works. I think Andrew had the bullwhip, hat and everything. Its a shame the actual print was stolen by none other than James Bond.
Anyway, back to reality...

There is of course the possibility that the programme can be recovered with Proximity Recovery, mathematically extrapolating the audio and video from dust patterns inside the can. Or you could just bang it with a fork and create a unique rendition of the Doctor Who theme...

Or you could just bang it with a fork and create a unique rendition of the Doctor Who theme... Furthermore, if you take the holistic approach which states that all things are interconnected, you could extrapolate the contents of any missing episode from any other object, in any part of the world. So, you could recreate, say, The Power of the Daleks, whilst reclining on a beach in the Bahamas sipping on a pina colada. When you finish, you would take the little umbrella they use as decoration on the drink, and using this interconnected approach extrapolate every detail of the episode with that... |

I trusted Mr Ainsworth, as I was involved in his forum at the time. When he said he'd discovered the episode, I didn't doubt him. I remember the weekend when everything unravelled, and it became clear it was a hoax. It was a horrible, gutting, feeling. Especially when I had personally vouched for his honesty to a couple of people. I felt a right sucker, I can tell you. |

I tend to work from the position that its probably BS pretty much all of the time. Of course I remain receptive and hopeful, but it is generaly BS all the same! I have noitced a rash of people with low post counts who have suddenly appeared in the doctor who section of this forum... what could it possibly mean?  |
