Out of curiousity, how was the Lion documented in the NZ's destruction logs? Were there any other Dr Who episodes listed for destruction on the same date? Around the time of the junking, the NZBC stopped recording film "fates" in the registers, so along with all four eps of The Crusade, quite a few other DWs (some missing, some not) have nothing recorded to say what happened to them. But it's important to understand that that doesn't mean they were all junked in 1974! (Indeed, if they had been, I'd have thought that several others would have been salvaged, not just The Lion.) The ones not marked, were likely to have been sent overseas or destroyed. |

Do the records seem to indicate that when they did a destruction or shipment, they would ship single episodes or work as full stories? If they work as full stories, then its possible that another film collector might have the other crusade episodes or they ended up as one of the few in the dump. Of course, its possible they destroyed the rest of the story earlier, and this one slipped out to be dumped at a later date

In the case of the stories, like The Crusade, where no indication is given as to what happened to them, who knows. They might indeed have been disposed of piecemeal rather than as a group. |
