Hi, I've been a follower on here for a few weeks. It's a great forum and I'm really intrigued with the search in Africa for missing episodes- the hunt has really captured the imagination! Anyway, I was just wondering, if you had a choice, would you trade the 66 episodes of new Doctor Who for the 108 missing episodes? I know that I would trade like a shot!  |

I'd gladly trade all of the McCoy episodes to recover Patrick Troughton's Dalek, Cyberman, Ice Warrior, and Yeti stories. |

Ha ha, so that's 32 Troughton's for 42 McCoy's? Sounds like a fair trade. But wouldn't you even keep Rememberance of the Daleks?
I have a slight loyalty to the McCoy era as that's when I first started watching the show. However I just can't get into New Who. It's just too...big, if you see what I mean. It doesn't really feel like Doctor Who to me.
I'm with you John I'd love to see more Troughton. Maybe Paul will find some season 5 film cans propping up a shelf in a forgotten warehouse somewhere in Nigeria........

Anyone around my age (Born Late '58 as Mott would say) would trade the whole of the current series for all of the missing stuff.

Well I was yet to be born when "An Unearthly Child" aired, and I would gladly trade all the Eccleston/Tennant/Smith episodes as well as all of Torchwood, K9(Oz), Sarah Jane, the TV Movie, and all the Mccoys to get ONE missing Hartnell or Troughton. |
