Fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing!
I said cans but I did mean film prints. I didn't actually know there were a few old WHO cans knocking around, other than the Marco Polo one. Obviously it stands to reason that there should be but I hadn't given it the thought.
Dupe or not I'd love to own some WHO on 16mm. I bet it costs a pretty penny though. If the BBC released episodes on film I'd be queuing up!! A stack of film cans is so much more mysterious than a DVD shelf!

Too bad no one thought of duping the prints in the 1960s or 70s. As a child I did collect 8mm but it was very expensive when buying new prints. When I saw the Big Reel, I considered collecting 16mm, however where could I put them??? The price was affordable but I am already paying enough to store my 40 years of collecting .. Cant afford to store much more with the current real estate rates  As a side note, if we wanna include a list of existing dupes, i guess we can include the web of fear guy who has 2 dupes. |

It takes A LOT for a film print to become "Very Deteriorated". As I recall, there's never been any report of any recovered episode, "Lost" or "Duplicated Print" that had any problems. |

I mean are there any deteriorated episodes held that there are no other copies of. |

The Time Meddler prints are, I understand, in pretty poor condition, if that's the kind of thing you're after. It's why they were not vid-fired for the DVD. Thanks for the information, I knew one of eps was edited too cutting out the scene of the Vikings being killed. |

The prints are physically fine, they're just not the worlds greatest telerecordings.... The worst condition 16mm T/R that I'm aware of is "The Lion" which has some pretty bad emulsion scratching. Apart from that, there are a few prints like "Faceless Ones (3)" which has splicy sections, and of course the missing 27 seconds at the end of Galaxy 4. But I haven't heard of any issue at all in terms of deterioration. |

There's a difference between deterioration and a print with some or all of the following - scratching,splices,broken sprockets,edited scenes or "worn" (Which sound like an episode or two of THE TIME MEDDLER might be classified as. )
