I visited LAC and spent an afternoon doing some more paperwork and looking through Vol. 2 & 14 - they are now in a storage locker onsite for me to access until mid-March. And I will be ordering a couple of the other boxes to look at for my next visit too! There was plenty of correspondence about Sydney's "early" leaving of the job at Associate British Corporation (ABC Television) - negotiations, dissatisfaction, etc - and his the move to the BBC. There are 6 drafts of his BBC contract (with amendments, etc.) and lots of letters to and fro with solicitors about matters concerning return of vehicle, and transfers of pension, insurance, home/mortgage, etc. etc. Also, there were several BBC letters - keys to the executive dining room, bar/drinks cabinet, etc. that were interesting. The pocket diaries from '62 '63 '64 were not much use - there were very few details about anything but found entries for Verity Lambert (shown), John Lucarotti & Waris Hussein. I did not look at the many clippings files yet. However, there were several files of correspondence with journalists about articles that they had written reviewing some of the contemporary drama plays that were presented in 'The Wednesday Play'. Mary "you-know-who" is referred to at least once in a related internal memo. Also, in the material there were several management/time usage studies and reports done by consultants that made me realise what a total bureaucracy the BBC was (is) & what Sydney had to deal with in his job. One document, "Studio Bookings (Studio Management) Television Service Daily Duty Sheet: Week No: 52 Saturday 21st December 1963" was interesting - it contained the only reference to Doctor Who -> the transmission of the first episode of 'The Daleks'. The other pages in it contained details about various rehearsals and filming of various productions (all non-Who) that occurred on that day. To lousingh - Sydney was also involved in the first telecast of the Grey Cup - the championship game of the Canadian Football League (CFL) -> "Producing the game from the mobile production truck outside the stadium was Sydney Newman who was in charge of external broadcasts for CBLT." www.canadianfootballresearch.ca/?p=116

I managed to visit Library and Archives Canada last Wednesday and had a look through 2 boxes (of the 44 volumes of material) from the Sydney Newman archive. Unfortunately, there was a lot of non-Who material in those boxes that I looked at. There was a copy of a magazine, 'CBC Times' Vol 14, No 22, Nov 26 - Dec 2, 1966, which contained a short article about an interview of Sydney filmed at the BBC that was conducted for the CBC program 'The Umbrella'. The program is available in the archives, but for anyone that is interested, it has been digitised and made available online here (old news - see earlier post by Nicholas Fitzpatrick): www.cbc.ca/archives/categories/arts-entertainment/media/media-general/a-1966-interview-with-public-broadcasting-impresario-sydney-newman.htmlThe interview is very general and has only a passing reference to Doctor Who. Watch it from the beginning - did you spot the 2 model Daleks on his desk? At about 2 1/2 minutes into the interview, he waves one of them around - pay attention though, if you blink, you will miss it. Enjoy, h

Yes, the audio for the repeat does exist:
“A separate Strong recording also exists of the Evil repeat screened immediately after The Wheel in Space. This includes the extra Troughton dialogue that appears at the start of Episode 1.” (Nothing at the End of the Lane, Issue 1 – July 1999)

To give everyone a more complete picture, the edited versions of both theatrical films were a little cheaper. To quote from Richard Bignell's article again (with thanks): "In common with many commercially available 8mm prints at the time, abridged versions of both films were also released spanning two 200ft reels. As well as being available in colour/sound at £16.33 per reel, a black and white, silent version was also released at only £5.49 per reel." I do not have the Blue Ray of these, but if the silent version wasn't on the release - wouldn't that have been a great bit of VAM?

For an interesting summary of everything circa June 2005, get yourself a copy of the Nothing at the End of the Lane Issue #2 * (edited by Richard Bignell and Robert Franks) and read "Eight Millimetre" by Richard Bignell (with thanks to Steve Cambden). Did you know that in 1977 to 1983, you could buy the complete films (on colour/sound stock) of the 2 movies - Dr. Who & the Daleks and Dalek Invasion Earth 2150AD on full 8 x 400ft reels for £133? Or that abridged versions of both films were available in two 200ft reels in either colour/sound or black and white silent? Caption cards inserted at relevant points in the action were used in the silent versions. Episodes are listed for which 8mm "behind the scenes" footage was taken by cast, production people and fans, as well as, the 8mm filming of televised episodes is documented. Lastly, the Tony Cornell footage is discussed. * available in Nothing at the End of the Lane Issue One & Two Omnibus
