That visual was also not in the LC cannon recon. As these memories come back, they can be helpful for restoration purposes.

After Ep 6 of Fury, on junior points of view they read out a story line, sent in by a couple of girls, where Jamie realises he is in love with Victoria and persuades the Doctor to go back to get her!

Busy day so a quick transcription today:-
the end of Part :85: The Exploding Planet (the rest of the Galaxy Four Story will follow) ........ The Time Travellers get inside the TARDIS just as the Drahvins fire. As the planet starts exploding the TARDIS hurtles into time and space. The Drahvins are left on the planet which is exploding. Meanwhile deep in space on a particular planetis a man in a dreadful jungle. Suddenly he cries out "I must kill! I MUST KILL!"
- that's my notes but the memory is that as the planet explodes shown by clouds of smoke which fade to the interor of the Tardis. The four time travellers are stood by the console where the time rotor is rising and falling. They look up at the scanner to see a planet in space. We close in on the scanner as it zooms down on to a wild jungle seen from above. There is a shot of a clearing and man in a dirty white space suit stumbles into the clearing saying "I must kill! I MUST KILL!"

In regards to John W King's wonderful notes I thought you should know that in the coming weeks the notes from missing episodes will be uploaded onto my website (link below) detailing what exists from missing episodes.

Did you start your notes straight after the first episode? Or was it several weeks later, after you'd seen a few episodes?

I first started making these notes after the end of the first Dalek story which I thought (and still do think) was absolutely amazing. For Roof Top of the World I orginally stuck the Radio Times entry and made my notes beneath it. This was in a small note book about the size of a Compact Disc cover. From then on I made notes as soon after the episode as I could. Usually the same night. Of course there were episodes I missed and I would then grill friends and relatives who had seen it as to what happened so I could make my notes. Later (around 1968) my older brother had wired a phono socket into the side of the telly and would record the sound track of episodes I missed (how I wish I'd kept those crystal clear recordings). I could make notes from them - he would try to fill in the visual details where the sound alone was not obvious. For me, what has been fascinating as episodes have been released onto video was to actually see an episode I had only known from some one else's recollections. Imagine finally seeing The Firemaker when it was rebroadcast as part of the Five Faces of Doctor Who! Or the last two episodes of the Sensorites... the first episode of the French Revolution.. Some times my borrowed memories from other people were quite close. Some times not. The real tragedy and physical pain for me is the episodes I missed and the BBC have carefully now mis-placed (putting it politely) so that none of us can see! Ever! The final episode of the Dalek's Masterplan...aaargh! Episode 1 and 3 of the Massacre.....oooh! It is for that reason I am trying to share my memories of the missing episodes I did see and to try and evoke for you what it was like being there and watching it. I appreciate this may not be a proper use of the forum and to that end I shall be working with Simeon D Carter who is constructing a web site for these notes - dwme-whatsurvives.blogspot.co.uk/However, I shall continue to transcribe my notes until Simeon has the site working, or I am asked not to continue or I get fed up with it. I am concentrating on those stories I feel are most missed by fans. e.g. Fury, Mission to the Unknown, etc. Back to Mission. I didn't intend to lead into it with a real cliff hanger yesterday but the depot where I work closed for the night! Continue on my next reply...

Part:86: Mission to the Unknown by Terry Nation
The Man disappears into the jungle. Meanwhile on another part of the planet a rocket has crashed. It's occupants are Gordon Lwery, Jeff Garvey and Special Agent Marc Cory. Cory and Lowery are repairing the ship while Garvey has gone on an expedition. Suddenly he returns saying "I must kill!" In fact he is the man (note; the man from the beginning of the episode is what I meant). Cory shoots Garvey because the latter wasgoing to kill. As Cory and Lowery try to send a message to a friendly ship Garvey starts turning into a Varga - pets kept by the Daleks! The Daleks have established a great city on the planet making ready for the Master Plan! They sent out a force to capture the rocket. As Cory and Lowery send a signal - rocket the Vargas close in as rockets from 7 galactic planets arrive to reinforce the Daleks. Cory and Lowery run for it but Lowery pricks himself on a Varga! The 7 galactic warriors become allies and plan to attack our Galaxy starting with Earth! Cory is shot by Daleks stopping all means of warning Earth! The Daleks at last leave with their allies set off to complete their Master Plan!
End of notes. This episode was very disconcerting and confusing. The notes as written are confusing but again trigger memories for me. I seem to recall the episode began with the scene from the end of the Exploding Planet in the TARDIS with the time travellers- then closing on the shot of the planet - We close in on the scanner as it zooms down on to a wild jungle seen from above. There is a shot of a clearing and man in a dirty white space suit stumbles into the clearing saying "I must kill! I MUST KILL!" The man looks at his arm covered in raised lumps and spikes like porcupine quills. The man who later learn is called Garvey staggers off into the jungle. Behind him emerges a Varga looking like a prickly cactus made from cotton wool with spikes protruding. The spikes are like the quills on Garvey's arm. It moves like there is a man inside the cotton wool shuffling along. Other Vargas start shuffling after Garvey. In another clearing is the remains of a rocket shuttle craft. My simple description of a "rocket" is mis-leading. I seem to remember a round drum like structure raised on short legs with an oblong panel out of the side. It is in this Cory and Lowery are working. The rest of the episode, alas, I cannot clearly recall. I think the shock and anxiety of feeling "where is the Doctor and the Tardis" made it difficult to digest this episode. Usually I can clearly picture the cliff hanger but not here. I vaguely recall the camera zooming into the tape of Cory's last SOS message. I have to be careful when relating my memories I do not let them become contaminated with knowledge gained from books and magazines. I do recall a lot of shots of jungle vegetation and vargas shuffling along.

I was scared of the Vargas! I was waiting for them to appear again but as far as I remember they never did. My main other memory of mttu is the daleks gathered round the rocket blasting it, and it fell to bits.

No chance that you can remember anything of the galactic delegates John?
That Big Christmas Tree always intrigued me!
