I'm starting a fresh thread only because 50th push is getting bogged down with money which I feel is non-productive and going no where.
Before we begin any new "push" or appeal let's try some logic.
a) Who are we targeting?
1) WHO fans - no point. They're not fans if they don't know
106 episodes are missing
2) Film collectors
- specialist film and TV magazines have previously been contacted. The only fresh slant is the 50th Anniversary. Try.
- Film fairs. Tried. Keep trying. Maybe just a stand with
information leaflets. Could also be tried at car boots.
3) The general (indifferent) public - this is the hardest target.
Forget contacting National papers.
The TV Magazine with the largest sales and audience is the RADIO TIMES. Put a regular highly visible feature in this magazine highlighting the history of episode returns, sort after items and, obviously any returns and a forum .i.e. printed version of this site! This needn't be every week, maybe once a month.
The Nationals will soon pick up on it. They often run as exclusives interviews given in the Radio Times.
REWARD - The only reward on offer is total publicity and acknowledgment on any releases to any one returning anything.
As has been discussed on the other thread - financial reward creates more problems than it solves. Please do not contaminate this thread with any mention of money. I thank you.
