It was me that was spreading them (I was younger and more naive then).
I think it's sensible to look at this sort of thing 20 years on as a way of putting current rumours into perspective.

Just a few missing episode rumours:
Invasion 1 has been located and will be imminently returned.
Reign of Terror 4 & 5 have been located. Private collector is being
contacted.
Power of the Daleks 2 has been located. Return status unknown.
Tenth Planet 4. Owner currently does not want to sell this back to the
BBC because of its "rarity" value. Negotiations continue but BBC cant
get heavy-handed because of the amnesty on missing episodes and the fact
that this is a show-case example of the BBC's dealings with private
collectors.
All this is rumours. Please take it with a pinch of salt.

Like Greg Fink, I too would like to see this being a fact, BUT I would like
to know what are that source of these rumours.
BTW the city of Edmonton is delayed by 84 to 96 hours.

Where do my rumours come from?
For your interest:
It's all a bit of a crazy game of Chinese whispers. Over the years I
have met other fans who have turned out to know other fans, etc, etc,
until eventually you get quite close to the people in the know.
Currently I know:
a chap who's a friend of Gary Leigh's (editor DWB). GL is also good
friends with Ian Levine.
a chap who knows someone who works at the BBC.
a chap who knows another chap who knows a third chap who's a friend of
Jeremy Bentham.
another chap who knows someboy different at the BBC and who also
frequents a monthly pub meeting in London where he meets up with Jeremy
Bentham and others.
It was this latest source that provided the current batch of rumours
(Pubs are good places to chat / speculate about this sort of thing).
When DWM 200 came out there was a bit of a stir because of three
off-screen pics taken from Evil of the Daleks (4 or 5). People there
couldn't believe that these were original 1967 material and so a guy who
knew Gary Russel (editor DWM) phoned him up to ask him about it. Gary
replied that the pictures were indeed from 25 years ago (interestingly
enough they're my pictures which were taken by a friend) but also
informed that he was expecting the imminenent recovery of Invasion part
1. Reign of Terror 4 & 5 are thought to be in the hands of a collector
up north somewhere. Power of the Daleks pt 2 came from my friend's BBC
contact.
Tenth Planet pt 4 is apparently held by this grotty North Sea Oil worker
who refuses to give it back (even for the original sum that he paid for
it - 5000 UKP!). The BBC have contacted this man repeatedly but he
basically tells them to F*** off. I suppose this news is still a rumour,
though, but I get the feeling that it's true even though I havent heard
it from many independany sources.
I don't normally take too much notice rumours which come to me from any
one of these sources (though I live in hope). When the same story comes
from more than one then I pay a lot more attention to it. The last time
this happened was with Tenth Planet pt4 though arguably this is
happening again now with the "something's brewing at the BBC" rumour
which I reported some time back. Having said that, all has gone a little
quiet again.

What? just in general? Like when it's Christmas there, it's really 12/29
everywhere else...? What happens if you took a plane into Edmonton? How long
does it seem like? Maybe there isn't an airport because of this.

I first heard rumours of Reign of Terror 4 and 5 back in 1988 from a friend
in Chorley, Lancashire, who knew someone through a Lancashire LG who CLAIMED
to have these episodes. He also allegedly had a colour copy of Mind of Evil,
which at the time didn't mean much but in the light of the BBC's colorisations
could be quite useful.
The Power 2 rumour has been around for years now, but we still live in hope.
I am convinced that Tenth Planet 4 exists -- this is more than a rumour. And
obviously the BBC agree, because they're not releasing eps 1-3 this year.
.. they're going to look damn silly if Invasion 1 turns up though!
