I read in the latest DWM how Planet and Death to the Daleks were returned from Dubai in 1992.
So how come they only returned eps 4 onwards of Planet.
How unlucky was that?
Still at least we got back a complete ep 1 of Death.

Still at least we got back a complete ep 1 of Death. "Death" was complete before then - but held in two formats - One that was edited by ABC Australia in PAL (Which would have been a step down from a BBC original) , and the other was recovered from Canada in NTSC conversion from the batch sold there in the mid-late 1970's So if it was never recovered from Dubai, they would have still been able to restore the episode from the two copies. |

Possibly because they only ever received parts 4-6 in colour. This was in 1975, by which time the BBC's own PAL copy would have long since been wiped; Dubai's copy of part 3 was probably in b/w. |

Does anyone know what else was returned from Dubai in 1992? |

The way I read the article indicated to me that Dubai had a complete colour copy of all 6 eps of Planet of the Daleks. Shame we didnt get ep 3 back but there you go.
