So if there is NO truth in this AT ALL, why doesn't someone like Mr Vanezis just come on here and say so? He has dbunked this Bisto on gallifreybase. No he hasn't. This has been very clearly explained to you, and yet you persist in this claim. And you get your back up when you think someone is calling you a liar! You keep saying the same thing, after it being explained and demonstrated to you, that what your saying is false!

Hmm. This is despite people now getting advanced review copies of the "Regenerations" set and posting their reviews of the animated Episode 4... Just to play Devil's Advocate: that's exactly what you'd expect to happen if the episode were found after the animation was commissioned. Rather than lose the money spent on animation, releasing it before announcing the recovery of the episode would mean they'd make a profit rather than a loss because very few fans will buy an animation, knowing that the proper episode exists. And most fans will buy a full story, even if there's been an animated version. As for the BBC not making any announcements, just think about how long the delay between the recovery and announcement of last two episodes was. They're obviously more than capable of keeping quiet and the Restoration Team obviously know how to keep their traps shut too. Sadly, I think the idea of a massive cache of episodes appearing is unlikely, as much as I would love it to be true. If we're very lucky, they may have an episode or two to announce, but I don't expect to hear anything official until November. And I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for something, even if I know it unlikely. I agree unlikely but then the Tomb of the Cybermen video release was very quickly rolled out after recovery. I remember very clearly getting the video in my hands and still not believing it was real as the whole recovery to video release had been so quick.

Sorry Wrightblan...I meant the whereabouts of the guy in Africa who possibly has the episodes.Just wondering if there was a specific Country. I actually appreciate you letting us know about the rumour. I wasn't doubting what your friend has heard.Just hoping that something comes out of it like everyone else I suppose. I'm all for speculation but this site isn't the one to do it on.Fingers crossed come November 23rd we might have at least 1 more missing episode recovered.

Rich Johnson isn't my "friend," nor have I met him personally. He's the main guy behind Bleeding Cool, a comics/film/TV site successful enough to have spawned a magazine version within the past year. This is the first time I can recall him doing anything on the subject of missing Doctor Who. That's why I paid attention to it.

I go off to work and come back to all this? There's nothing new. Literally nothing new. It's the same rumor as mentioned by Outpost Skaro and replayed dozens of times by fans until the original rumor was no longer recognizable ... like a horrid game of Telephone.
Do I believe the rumor is untrue? No, I don't believe it is neither true nor untrue. It's deliberately set up in such a detailed way so that there is no definitive answer. Ingenious really, since it can't ever die. At least not until November ...
Besides, with the continuing animations of Ice Warriors and Moonbase, it's pretty clear to me that if there IS a return of episodes they certainly don't include them.

Take a note of the phrase 'Keechy Pants.' I like it, I want to use to more often in conversation...
I daren't look at GB after this stunt.

Please will Paul Vanezis or someone who is properly in the know make a statement on this forum regarding this rumour.
The longer this goes on, the more out of hand it will get. It will certainly harm the reputation of a lot of credible voices in the the missing episodes search if, by November, it turns out to be a cruel joke.
Someone please speak up!

If there's any basis to the rumour. And the episodes still haven't been recovered and returned to the BBC. Then surely there's nothing that can be said, if things really are that delicate. And I think Paul's previous post on this subject still applies -

Quite simply, Paul Vanezis is never going to say this is untrue because he is on the record as saying he cannot and will not lie.

Silly just silly. Rumors that are too good to be true are rubbish.

I respect that many of you respect Rich Johnston. But the points of his story fly in face of what is already known about Doctor Who in Africa.
Tenth Planet and Evil of the Daleks were never sold nor broadcasted on that continent. Audition prints? Sure, but that would be very surprising as most audition prints are sent to other nations soon after their rejection.
Even if the episodes were in perfect condition (which I doubt), the ability for BBC to have them scanned and ready for any DVD release depends on the timing of their return. According to the various rumors, the BBC doesn't even have them yet.
All Hartnells can't be found. Feast of Steven was never sold to any foreign nation. Never mind that Mission to the Unknown and Dalek's Masterplan were also never sent to Africa.
This seems more like a replaying of the same rumor only with fan-fueled additions to it.

Then again, I'm not sure everybody knows who he is. Or that he's written a Doctor Who comic book in the past. Or that posting a story he knows to be false or would endanger any possible recovery could damage any chance of writing any further Doctor projects in the future.
