I believe it was there indeed Brad that I first read this. In regards to the mentioning of a "Crate".
I was also able to find this bit of info online in regards. Not too sure on this one?
( The Doctor Who Nexus Website )
"September: In what would prove to be the most bizarre discovery to date, Steve Bryant (Sue Malden's successor to the role of Archive Selector) took a call from a Parish in London. They explained they were clearing out a Church basement ready for storing their own materials when they came across a crate emblazoned with a BBC logo. Intrigued, Steve Bryant headed down to the Church and was delighted to find the crate contained about half a dozen film cans, including The Daleks' Master Plan 5 & 10."
I would dearly love for a chance to see this theory of mine put into practice. I completely agree on that in regards,better not assume anything with reference to finding-searching for materials. As you never know... If I recall correctly, that Hong Kong had been asked if they had anything further about ( prior to the discovery of Tomb ) , and stated that they had no further items of interest. Then Tomb Of The Cybermen turned up. I believe the same was the case for The Final Test ( Celestial Toymaker: 4 ) from the ABC??
I would dearly hope that something of this nature had been attempted? If not, then time to start research into a new potential prospect it so seems.
Thoughts?
Cheers, Lance.

The Missing Episode Nexus (proper title) is my site, one which I'm slowly updating. I'm afraid that blurb is something I wrote years ago, and was quoting Peter Haining's article. So probably best not to re-quote it again... The updated site is here: missingepisodes.blogspot.co.nz/(although that snippet you quoted is still there... just ignore bits of it that sound wrong ;D)

If it appeared in Peter Haining's book, then the idea of crates and logos is probably just one of his embellishments.
Steve Bryant didn't take the initial call, that was Gareth Morris, the assistant head of the F&VT Library, and Steve didn't go down to view them either. Morris suggested that they send the films they had found back to the Library for the attention of Bryant, which they did.

Same with "Adventure World" - presumably this is a documentary rather than a drama. It's not David Attenborough's 'Adventure' series from 1961...?

That is all we have to go on. Right. And is it true we don't know the name of the episode of Warship that was found as well? Can't "someone" contact the F&VT as ask what episode of Warship was booked in/registered/whatever-you-call-it into the F&VT around September/October 1983? There should only be one at that time surely. What is the archive status of Warship anyway? Was the episode redundant, or a missing episode of that series? EDIT: Ha, just realised part of that last question is irrelevant if you don't know its identity...

All the 'Warship' eps exist - it was made/aired 1973 to 1979. (I would love for this to be on DVD - it's a great series.) The first three seasons aired back to back in Australia from 1976. If the 'discovered' ep (which I presume was in colour rather than b/w) came back from Australia, the BIG question is, did it come back in a shipment that also included the two Master Plan eps?

And I'm guessing any question fired at the F&VT regarding this is meet with deaf ears...?

I would think so. When the films were returned, a telerecording of Warship would have simply been discarded if all the episodes were archived anyway.

But you're talking about a copy of something where the master was held in the main BBC Archive. If there was any likelihood of one of them being edited, it would be the telerecording, making it of even less value.

We have edited episodes of Doctor Who as the only surviving print; I wasn't aware Warship was completely intact.
