I agree. Quite a bit of interesting stuff about the Taiwan find was in this thread. Why would Ian need to sign an NDA ? if he is nothing to do with this find. He does not seem to be out there in the field like PM. Or does he have a hidden role ? I was thinking Philip Morris signed one. I certainly would have asked it of him if I had been the BBC.

Classic Doctor Who episodes were usually ~25'00" long. Imagine you found a fragment of an episode that was 12'30" long (or otherwise exactly half the duration, for the sake of argument). Now is that episode considered: - EXISTING but with 12'30" (etc) worth of footage missing? - MISSING but a 12'30" (etc) fragment exists? Missing with a long excerpt.

Could we at least have the cogent information from the Ian Levine thread somewhere? I am thinking of Neil Lambess mentioning that he was required to sign an NDA by the BBC until "The Lion" was in the BBC's hands. There was one from Paul Vanezis that was really insightful and another about how long the cleaning of the episodes takes. Having that somewhere as a reference (pinned if possible) would be nice.

Here's a question: From what little I know of such things, a lot of the stuff distributed to troops in war zones (Vietnam, South Korea, etc.) went through the countries' embassies. So with the UK being the source country and the US being one of the target countries, wouldn't it be likely that one of their embassies had some of these prints?

I'd stay quiet an not say anything until the bbc announcement. Seriously, it's not my place to make a press release. I'd let Paul etc handle it. YES I'd be tearing my tongue out trying not to say anything but I don't see the advantage of jumping the gun. If you say you had an episode everyone on this forum would demand proof, and not just putting pictures of film cans. People would want to see a video or photos of individual film cells, which would mean you'd have to handle the films. Count me on this list.

Listened to this after Percy Harvin returned the 2nd half KO for a TD in the SB. Nice job as always, Greg.

I have something which could help us all be patient, if nothing else.
Remember that TEotW and TWoF were in very good shape when recovered, yet it still took the BBC 10 days of processing per episode before they felt safe to announce it. Working at the rate of 1 person processing 2.5 minutes per episode per day, then for even 1,000 canisters of film in nearly pristine condition averaging 25 minutes each still gets us to 10,000 person-days of work. Give these guys an annual salary of 50K pounds per year and you can see that the costs pile up in a big hurry or the time stretches out almost indefinitely.
Our rumours are ten times that amount of film in varying states of quality. It just takes time to get the money and then more time to fix everything.
