Watched it for the 4th time yesterday.
It's funny but everyone's favorite episode, 4, is my least favorite, and the one that people slag off, 5, is my most favorite.
Part 4 - action - no, not really. The yeti work best creeping in the dark, not being shot at in the light.
Part 5 is mostly carried off by Troughton and I just love watching him do his stuff.
The best scene in the whole story, though, is where the Doctor plays his recorder in part 6 - there's a lovely sense of pathos coupled with a kind of far-away lost-in-his-own-thoughts element to it even while they're all waiting for the final confrontation which is just quintessential Doctor Who for me.
Again, I wish we had part 3, but we haven't :-( Every time I watch Web though I think about how much I've wanted to watch it for the last 20 years and just what an incredible turn of events this recovery has been.
Richard

Richard Finally arrived to this serial and its funny that you mentioned that. Usually he plays his recorder to antagonize people or be silly but there is a sort of sadness when the Doctor plays his recorder in this scene. You verbalized what I was thinking when I watched it, glad I wasn't the only one who picked up on that beautiful moment. Leonardo

I'm not sure anyone has mentioned this yet, but Phil Morris is apparently doing a Q&A over at the Missing Episodes Discussion Group over on Facebook at 9 pm local UK time (BST).
While I'm sure some will expect he'll announce a huge find, I expect in reality he'll just answer some questions about finding Web and Enemy ...

He's just started. I'm sure myself or someone else will report back if there is anything related to Web & Enemy

So far nothing directly Web and Enemy related, but he has said that his travels have been recorded and photographed for a possible documentary. That in itself is exciting.

Does he mention any other finds? Not only Dr Who episode stuff?

No, he has said that he doesn't want to prejudice the current project. "The wind is blowing in the right direction" is the nearest thing to a direct confirmation of anything (this was in answer to whether he has found any more episodes of Dr Who.)
/edit: He has since said that TIEA have their own in-house restoration team. This is likely to be handling client assets in my opinion, but this was not clear from his answer.

In terms of DR.W he says he can't give a straight answer since it's complicated, but that the winds are moving in the right direction. No question about other material has been asked.
I'm appreciative of the answer. He also said he can't answer because he doesn't want to jeopardize any effort.

So how many roads must a man walk down?
More upbeat to assume that the answer is blowing in the wind,than that looking for missing episodes is like trying "to catch the wind"!

Thanks for the reply. Please keep this forum updated if there is any kind of news.

does he give any indication of a rough idea as to when he will be in a position to reveal any information and be more specific about any archive tv finds in general by his organisation. eg any itv stuff? Is there some kind of timescale we should wait. If he gave that then it would stop all the rumour mongering until then.

He has admitted that TIEA has an in-house restoration team. I'm not sure if they'd be willing to touch any future Dr. Who material. (They didn't touch Enemy/Web after all)

I think this accounts for Steve Roberts' recent announcements that the RT are no longer working/contracted to work on any future releases,including UM.TIEA must be handling the restoration of the recoveries-and let's be blunt about this-further recoveries have been made,of this there can no longer be any further doubt from tonight's Q&A with Philip.More Dr Who has been found.

Oh, that text I copied isn't saying what I thought it was ... no comment.
