When the Doctor Who winter special was published all those years ago,did any one annotate the archives list as episodes were recovered? I've also started doing this on the lists in Richard Molesworth's WIPED. You write in your books? [sharp intake of breath!] |

One of the delights in life to to read old 'missing Doctor Who' lists, and think "Oh yeah?" where there's subsequently been a find.
I rushed to several sites after the most recently-announced discoveries...only to find that they'd already been updated.Shame.

I think it was a test transmission of some sort but it was found to be untrue in the end-I think it was from the Pertwee era and had become confused with the Troughton era.But it was such a long time ago I can't remember.However,it's existance ( whatever it actually was ) was written in DOCTOR WHO MONTHLY at the time.

There were all sorts of daft rumours floating round a few years ago that because the final Troughton stories were recorded with colour-capable equipment, that one of them was made in colour as a practice run but transmitted in b/w. It was, of course, complete nonsense! ;D |

I remember reading (possibly in DWM) that this rumor started about the same time Inferno was recovered in colour from Canada (?) somebody (JNT I think) either made a mistake or was mis-quoted as stating that a 7 part colour Troughton serial had been returned to the BBC. |

Don't you get the feeling that the last country to broadcast in b&w would end up with the B&Ws?

Did someone see the "behind the scenes" home movie footage & somehow the story twisted that it was the actual programme? |

I wouldn't have thought so. The 8mm footage was in b/w.

I know I mentioned the rumours of the existence of 10TH PLANET episode 4 in DW MONTHLY and the article about it's now hoaxed return all those years ago,but has anyone seen the Michael Craze linking material that was done for it's possible release on video-tape?Does that still exist and has that ever been released?

Yes, it still exists, but it really isn't that exciting. Poor Michael wasn't exactly the most dynamic presenter in the world.

I seem to recall speculation that the film inserts for the space pirates might have been in colour - obviously that was disproved when the inserts for episode one turned up

The Fury footage was in colour. The Evil footage was in b/w.
