There were already a few public communications sattelites around then and already by then there was military satellites - some obviously top secret. Surely the chance of original broadcasts being relayed from across the world and taped or telerecorded across the globe is not too far fetched. Recording the BBC TV news could have been of interest to many organizations. As already mentioned on this forum all they had to do was leave the tape running a bit longer and we might have a live recording of a classic who episode such as Mission to the Unknown in broadcast live quality waiting to be discovered in a video or film vault somewhere on the planet - perhaps even digitized into a computer sysytem by now???

Aside from unlikely finds from collectors in this country that preserved episodes 2,5 and 10, and assuming ABC has been searched, is there any chance at all that there are copies of the Daleks' Masterplan in film vaults round the world? I know it was only sold to Australia, but is there any chance they passed it on to another country? Si. I read somewhere that negatives were sent to BBC Sydney and they used local film labs to process into positive prints. Any chance more than one copy was made or was there only a set of positive viewing prints sent? Could the prints have been copied and what about air force and navy bases across the world could they not have had prints of Masterplan???

Hi all, I have a confession to make: I always found Galaxy 4 quite difficult to get through, Despite this, when the news filtered through that Air Lock had be found I was delighted. Like any Doctor Who fan, the idea of watching material thought lost forever was tantalising. For decades all we had of Galaxy 4 were those precious few minutes of episode one to pour over.. not any longer. I knew the story, a classic 'Don't judge a book by it's cover.' job - what could 'Air Lock' possibly bring to the party? Well, as it turns out, an awful lot! The Rills!o Stephanie Bidmead's performance! THAT flashback sequence. I wasn't expecting much, which made it even more impressive. at the end of the final episode Galaxy 4 also has a cliffhanger leading into Mission to the Unknown. Code: T/A The scene was recorded in the same recording block as Mission to the Unknown and both Mission and Galaxy were made by the same production team. Daleks Masterplan is the serial I most want to see complete. I had read the John Peel novelizations and viewed lots of production photos from DMP. The two episodes that had been recovered for years eps 5 & 10 always met or exceeded my expectations; unlike the previous Dalek story: The Chase which was an overall dissapointment for me. Upon the return of DMP Episode 2: The Day of Armageddon my expectations for DMP became more realistic however (cameras crashing into set etc lol) overall altho yet with the stunning 35mm filmed inserts such as the Daleks in the jungle of Kemble, the production exceeds expectations and further raises the bench mark . The production standards are far superior to The Chase especially in terms of technical achievement. Ep 5: The Traitors is a landmark of special effects, pacing and action. The desert scenes of Ep 10; Escape Switch and the Egyptians fighting the Daleks are excellent. The atmosphere throughout the extant eps is tense, eerie and gripping: great television viewing and the acting is intense.

With the Mirror report I wondered if they'd got their wires crossed after hearing how telerecording worked. That was my first thought when I read the article
