He got it a month early (I have the screenshot, it was September 3rd) and I think his source got the Power animation so a decent track record but you're right we still need to take this with a pinch of salt. The prints had been back in the UK for a while by then and had also been conserved, digitised, restored, etc - five weeks before the official announcement an increasing number of people would have been involved. For sure, still gives this source some credibility as he hasn't been wrong about these ever from what what I know. Lets hope its correct.

Morning, you may have heard on GB some rumours about found evidence. Usually these are nothing to write home about however this one is. A few people were talking about this on planet Mondas so I thought I'd share it here. There is a user called Evil Johnny and he has a contact. This same contact informed him in September 2013 about the recovery of web/enemy. You can even go and see his post in 2013 talking about it. Apparently it was also said that he knew about the animated power ahead of time. This all points to the validity of this contact. On Christmas Day he reported that his contact informed him that it was 2 Hartnell episodes that have been found! He replied that he did not know which ones but that it is definitely true. He said his contact suspects that the other episodes have been animated but he said that was not definite. I think that this is something to get exited about as its from a very reliable source which has been proven in the past. I can't wait to see which ones! P.S. It has been clarified by Evil Johnny that he does not know if the rumour created by clouded yellow is the same one or not. He only knows that the Hartnell one is true as its been confirmed by his contact. Dont shoot the messenger Let's remember that Web/Enemy were officially announced in early October 2013 - I think it was 10/11 - so September 2013 isn't much to write home about. He got it a month early (I have the screenshot, it was September 3rd) and I think his source got the Power animation so a decent track record but you're right we still need to take this with a pinch of salt.

Yep! Do you think it's worth me reporting this news? Maybe, you would be the first one to do so. I am a big fan, I really liked your series one overview video and can't wait for you to do series 2! Realy good presentation. One of the best DW youtubers out there. Oh thank you ever so much! Can I have a link to the post on Planet Mondas please as I have been unable to find it. Plus in the video do you want any kind of handles shouted out since you got this info to me? Edit - I found the thread on Planet Mondas

Thanks for sharing this, I won't get excited until I see proof but it's definitely something to look out for and mull over. I wonder which ones it is? I'd die of happiness if it's The Massacre but I doubt it as they only made 3 prints and 2 are confirmed destroyed. Do you have a YouTube channel? I think I recognise Lord Slarr name. Yep! Do you think it's worth me reporting this news?

Yeah, it's just a print of the Peter Cushing film so not really worth a whole lot, I imagine there's a bunch of those about. Only a genuine 60's episode print would be worth buying at that kind of price.

Somebody had a tape labelled Evil Of The Daleks but someone had taped over it! They had tapes that were labelled with the dates that corresponded with the Evil repeat, but these had been fully recorded over with the 1968 repeats of The Forsyth Saga. Ah, thanks, I couldn't quite remember the specifics.

Somebody had a home recording of The Space Pirates episode 2, kind of annoying he had the one surviving episode of an otherwise missing story. Yep:-( iirc other episodes from the same era had been recorded - but didn't survive:-( Proves that it's possible - but I wouldn't take a trip to William Hill or Ladbrokes on the strength of it !

There are probably three routes for getting episodes back. (1) Any that should have been returned or destroyed but weren't. This is the Philip Morris strategy that found Enemy and Web. We know he's still looking but sooner or later everywhere will have been finally checked. (2) Any in private hands, by whatever means. This is a source that we'll never know has been exhausted. (3) Off air recordings. The problem here is that we're looking for recordings made 40+ years ago and the further back you go the less recorders there were meaning that the chance of (a) Dr Who being recorded and (b) the tape surviving isn't particularly high. Then work back and consider what would actually be worth finding. The latest is Invasion of the Dinosaurs 1, then you have to go back to the Daemons - which is a big muddy in places - Mind of Evil.....I remember reading somewhere that Ian Levene didn't get a VCR until, I think, 1976. We know of home/private recordings from the 60s, but this is now 45+ years ago. This can't be eliminated but it's not something I'd invest a lot of hope in.

Ian Levine's recon on the DVD is excellent. Helps fill in the gaps and does it in a very entertaining way,especially using voice artists to mimic Hartnell's voice.Brilliant. Yeah, Big Finish need to hire that guy!

This is probably the only "missing" episode that I don't mind if they ever find or not. It was never broadcast so I would consider it a big deleted scene. From what I hear it adds quite a bit to the story. A lot of black humour with the subplot.

The Traitors has to be one of my favourite induvidual episodes of Doctor Who ever. Its such a dark and nasty episode it's clear why Australia chose not to show it. But naturally for me that translates to bloody brilliant, the pacing, the tension, the emotion, this is clearly Doctor Who at it's very best.

It's possible yes, just like how the original Unearthly Child episode 1 survived, however it's very unlikely at this point as most possible places will have been searched as it probably didn't leave the BBC.

and naturally my copy did NOT arrive on time from Amazon UK, alas my copy of series 9 did arrive but that was ordered 1 day before Power shipped Hey, I've been waiting since September for Amazon to send me the copy of Arc of Infinity I bought. I'm still waiting for two Nintendo 64 controllers I ordered 4 years ago!

I don't see why they'e being so puritanical about it, it's not like the BBC is still selling missing episode soundtracks or anything, if they release the animations it's fair enough but episode 4 of Galaxy 4 is something the BBC currently isn't selling. Well at least not in its entirety. There is that shortened version on the Aztecs Special Edition, but I think that people buy that more for the Aztecs than they do for Galaxy 4. Yes I thought of that after I'd posted the comment, however it is a condensed version. Why not take down the whole story if this is the case. A few people are linking this to the start of this thread and saying this is indicative of a Galaxy 4 episode 4 find. I don't buy into it yet but it's certainly not an impossibility.
