Exactly my point. These so called experts may very well of thought stuff it and lets move on. But whats to stop us trying the old basic simple routes such as car boots newspaper articles etc. This needs to be a constant thing because we now live in a world where everyone is connected by some form or another. The missing episodes of stories not just doctor who are out there 100% we just need to stop being so lazy as a society. If anyone would like to join me in this new but old strategy send me a personal message. I'd like to join you in believing 100% that the missing episodes are out there, but as you have no reason whatsoever to believe it other than blind hope, I can't.

It's not blind hope. I'm constantly researching and contacting people to try and get leads etc. It's not like I'm sitting t home praying for something to happen. I genuinely am working on this..

But statistics show that there are no right or wrong people. Some stuff has been found in the most bizzarre places..

But statistics don't show that there's definitely anything else to be found. So, you can't say that there's 100% missing Who out there.

First of all, what you call "so called experts", really are experts. I would say, just to my knowledge, they've been looking for missing episodes for about 20 years - that is quite a long time.
That's not to say that amateurs can't help, and they, and I count myself among them (in the sense that I'm only an amateur), have in the past. Certainly you can and should keep your eyes and ears open, and personal contacts can open many doors if you happen to have them.
There isn't much point, however, trying to do anything which is really only going to work if you go through official channels. There's absolutely no point writing to major TV stations unless you work for the BBC.
All IMVHO, of course.

I think it would be great to find a place for those who arent experts to do something productive in the search. Education and organization is the key. Keep in mind that im not suggesting all the optimism would turn into manpower. however if someone is sincerely willing to put the time in.. give him some simple assignments to see how he makes out. Such as researching what places one might reach people who live in sierra leone or what film publications there are in hong kong etc.
