Short version: There were prints there. They were blown up . Blown up? Great! So now, all those missing Hartnells are on 35mm, instead of 16mm! ;-)

Simon Ashby - `Don't understand the point of this thread.' Anthony Clark - `Utter twaddle!'
Have to agree with these comments. Is it just me or has the standard of posts on this forum gone way downhill in the last couple of months? The decline can most probably be pinpointed to the recent recovery.

Slightly longer version: Paul seems to be fairly certain they had stuff that was lost in the civil war. Putting the pieces together, SL took all of Seasons 1-3 except for Mission/DMP, so it's possible that lot might have survived as late as the 1990s. There's also a suggestion that their prints of Seasons 1-2 might have been bicycled on, so we might be only (!) looking at a lost chance to recover the bulk of Season 3. However, we've yet to learn exactly what evidence has convinced Paul that the initial rumour of Who reels seen in Freetown in the early 1990s is any more reliable than the average friend-of-a-friend tale.

I’ve decided that rather than follow logic and common sense I’m going to embrace tyromancy… predicting the future using cheese. Yes, the word really does exist. So, according to my lunch – a cheese and onion pasty – Web of Fear ep 3 is resident in a Wakefield terrace. Number 13 Acacia Ave to be precise. And as luck would have it, it’s in colour and 3D. Thank goodness for cheese…

While I understand many may not view this tread as the greatest revelation since sliced bread and cheese, the way I interpreted the initial message was a message of thanks and appreciation and encouragement for those who are searching for lost episodes. In this world, too often people find fault when things don't go the best, yet never notice the positive or encourage each other.
Sometimes when people get comfortable in a group, they feel that they can be more open in their thoughts.While I can understand that some may prefer topics to stay in areas of importance, at the same time, I think that universal politeness and respect to one another is also very important. I think its better to show one how to help rather than criticize. Perhaps the critiquing of the message may have required more effort than simply accepting the person's way of wishing well.
If someone is being a real jerk, ill definitely go along with the funny. But I don't view this as such a case.
I hope these thoughts are viewed in a productive sense.
There are much more important things to focus on.

Well, firstly I support George's post above - well said that man! As for the idea of predicting the future using cheese, I Camembert it, believing there's Leicester recover that way than people think.
Assuming you didn't stop reading after the above puns (quite understandable), I'll try to make serious comment on the thread. I do have 'faith' that everything possible is being done to research and recover lost material, so I don't find that I have any well-meaning "have you thought of looking in..." ideas to contribute
Probably like many others, I'm 'class of 1981 DWM Winter Special' when it comes to missing episodes, which means 30 years have passed since I became aware of the issue. In that time, many avenues have been explored and drawn a blank, so I don't now personally believe there's much more to find.
Right then - somebody please go forth and prove me wrong!
Cheers, Jim

I dunno... last time I pooh-poohed the feasibility of further searches - not to mention the possibility of any more recoveries - TWO (not one - two!) episodes turned up.
So, may I now say that's it? NO MORE. There will always be 106 missing episodes. That's all folks...!
I now eagerly await those out there to rub my nose in the news that "Mission to the Unknown" has been found down the back of the BBC's coal scuttle...

We have to have faith. Something will show up. I can't keep using these Marco Polo film cans as paper weights forever you know. Whoops, gave it away.
