Let's hope one day we can marry Michael Craze's linking footage with the real thing!It's out there,somewhere....

Well,I think there's a case for filming introductory material for all the missing episodes ASAP,just in case.
(Hee,hee).

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? It was released in Australia and New Zealand as a completely balls-ed up version of The Tenth Planet VHS. Basically the linking material set the scene, which was really confusing, then at the end of the third episode the tape just... stops. No newly recovered episode (obviously) but also no reconstruction! The correct version was issued a short time later.

In Dick Fiddy's MISSING BELIEVED WIPED,he recounts how all the lost STEPTOE & SONS were actually recorded by either Ray Galton or Alan Simpson ( I forget which ) onto primitive home video cassette, and then recovered years later using the latest technology by playing them back on an old 1960s video recorder.What are the chances of any episodes of Doctor Who being preserved like that-I've read on these forums that Terry Nation didn't have any personal prints but is it possible other directors,producers etc may have had personal videotape copies?What about the huge personal collection of Bob Monkhouse?He started keeping a library of all sorts of programmes many,many years ago.Was Doctor Who found to be in this archive?

Monkhouse's archive has been fully catalogued and published. The only DW he had in his collection was a video of the TVM and a copy of Dr. Who & The Daleks.

Doctor Who was (predictably, I suppose) one of the first things mentioned with reference to the Monkhouse collection. It's always possible there are either prints or domestic recordings out there but I would guess that most (all?) of the living DW producers / directors have been asked about this many times over. My personal opinion is that this avenue is now thoroughly exhausted and that any further recoveries will come from other places.
