7th roll: got a 1 so Marco Polo episode 1. I've officially moved back the location of the first missing episode. It's now Marco Polo 2. Also I got an 8 so it's a print from Ethiopia.

This is odd. I just rolled again and got 83, which if I am not mistaken, is Fury episode 3, which makes for the second pair of consecutive missing episodes I have got! 'Tis a sign!

Finally got one that no one else did. I rolled a 7 for episode and a 4 for country so that means I found Marco Polo episode 7 from Mauritius. That bloke with The Crusade episode 4 must have had another print on him.

Sorry, Ian. And today I got 88: The Wheel in Space: 2I still can't get me head around this country thing... Wheel in Space had a total of four prints screened overseas: one in Australia, one in Hong Kong/Singapore/Nigeria, one in New Zealand, and one in Gibraltar. Since there are four sets of prints (four points where an episode could be recovered) you generate a number between 0 and 4 with the 0 representing a return from a private collector in the UK. That way the generator will always generate a number that correlates with one of the print sets.

Also, got an 11, which is Crusade 4 (returned from Mauritius), which bevanthomas also got before me.

I rolled an 83, which if I am not mistaken gives us Fury from the deep episode 4. Nice! From my top two missing stories! And probably one of the best episodes from that story too.

Got 61, so that's Macra 3, but it was my fourth roll so bevanthomas beat me to it. Obviously my print wasn't in very good shape after being ignored in a Zambian film vault for fifty years.

Does Phil Morris know for certain if the station manager was bribed?

79, so that's The Ice Warriors episode 3. Never been too high on my list of episodes I want returned, personally, but still a fun serial and it's complete now too. Third serial to be so. Then that's also a 3 on country so that means it was a Singapore print though I used this missingepisodes.blogspot.com/p/howmanyprints.html because it gives the number of prints instead of the countries it was broadcast in. e.g. The Ice Warriors aired in Hong Kong but an episode wouldn't be returned from there because the same print was subsequently used to air the entire story in Singapore. Also, the origins of my other "finds." The Savages episode 4: Australia. I guess it was saved from being junked by the ABC by an employee. Marco Polo episode 4: Nigeria. Unfortunately, my print was of inferior quality to the one recovered by jacksully.

In case anyone is curious, this is how things stand right now. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc shows what roll the person got it on. Also, if, say, someone got Marco Polo episode 1 on their fourth roll but then later a different person got it on their third roll, the second person gets the credit. If two people find the same episode on the same roll number then it goes to whoever got it first.

Done it again. This time: 36 The Savages: 1 I think that one's been claimed already... Nope, you're good. The only duplicate so far has been Krisow's because 32 is The Massacre episode 4 not episode 2.

Did it again too and got 4 this time so that's Marco Polo episode 4. First one with one of the Polo episodes.

Check it, get it to the RT (or whoever is doing that now, maybe via Kaleidoscope) to be copied/restored and keeping quiet about it until that had been done. Then thoroughly enjoy both watching it and the pleasure it would give others - hopefully at an MBW session. How would one check it if the can was unlabeled or mislabeled? I know you'd have to look at the actual contents, but how could one do that without risking damage to the print?

For me it really depends on the animation/reconstruction as to which I like more. For example, I prefer the Mission to the Unknown animation to the recon, but the POTD recon to the animation. Some stories just work better as recons and others work better as animations and animations vary in quality, etc. I guess a Wheel animation would be cool. It's not super high on my list of stories I want animated, but I think it'd work pretty well as opposed to say The Abominable Snowmen, which I think would fail hard as an animation. Now if they were animating The Celestial Toymaker then I'd be excited. That one would just look beautiful as an animation. Yeah I can agree somewhat but if they were all done as well as The Moonbase animation I'd never watch a recon again. I think the most direly in need of animation is The Massacre as it can be quite hard to follow if you're not paying it full attention, shame as its a brilliant story that goes quite underrated. The only problem with that is that historicals generally don't lend themselves very well to animation (The Reign of Terror) because they tend to rely more heavily on dialogue and subtle interactions which animations aren't very good at. It would be like trying to watch The Edge of Destruction as an animation. I think that's one of the reasons why the tensions between the colony members didn't translate very well in the POTD animation. Animations can make action excellently, but lose most of the subtleties in human expression.

PM was tracking Snowman and Wheel in one of his last interviews, but likely a wild goose chase. After reading the article, I don't think there is any connection between this and a potential Wheel recovery--but likely to kindle some rumors... Its been so silent, rumor/lead wise, id be surprised if it didn't. I also prefer the telesnap recons to animation as they feel closer to the original. However, since I have the loose cannon recon of Wheel, animation would be welcome as something different (I like both Telesnap recon of Power and animation--they have a distinctively different Ora to them). Thankx for the info Dylan! You're welcome and I agree other than the fact I prefer a good animation to a recon myself but I can see where you are coming from. For me it really depends on the animation/reconstruction as to which I like more. For example, I prefer the Mission to the Unknown animation to the recon, but the POTD recon to the animation.
