Sure you're not the only one, but it doesn't make it okay.

There are 8 episodes in particular, that are mentioned by name, that are said to be in the hands of private collectors. Those episodes are allegedly: Myth Makers 2 & 4, Smugglers 2 & 4, Highlanders 2 and Space pirates 4-6. Of course, the episodes are mentioned based off the BritBox listing. Only Paul Vanezis and Phillip Morris know which exact episodes are in which private collection and they ain't telling for confidentiality reasons. Private collectors will return missing episodes when they either die or are willing to part with the prints. With the missing episode rumor popping up again, this is a fresh reminder. Because you keep circulating rumours. Stop it.

Uh oh. This place is starting to go a bit weird again.

How hard would it be to take a re-enactment like what was done with "Mission to the Unknown" and used the telesnaps and other production pictures to animate the original actors, and then using the AI to do a full reconstruction? I just wonder how the end credits should be handled in that case. For a quality and useable result - hard. Or let's say, much harder than many here think.

Re. colour - I really don't think simply relying on AI to do the work is the answer. We know with the recent Hancock colourisations that the number of manually-coloured key frames required has reduced considerably since the Mind of Evil 1 was colourised manually. That's where AI will/does shine with colourisation.
The problem with AI is that you can let it run and it'll do 'things' and we all go 'wow'. However in the recreation of footage (or indeed colour) we want the AI to do some pretty specific things - especially if it's for an official release.
The relationship of manual input and AI is key to quality and intentional output.

I wish collectors would just loan the missing episodes to the BBC so that HD scans and D3 copies can be made. That way the print can be returned to the collector and so the BBC has a copy in their archives. I can assure you that D3 copies will not be being made...!

Just need to give the question a missing episodes slant: "how much in royalties are actors losing out on if a programme is missing or story is incomplete?" It's an interesting question when one thinks about entire series that were wiped. In the case of some stars almost nothing they made in the 1950s and 60s exists. Their heirs would have received royalties. Yeah, true haha regarding changing the title. There’s like 100 threads they need to move from the missing episode forum into this forum then considering they moved this one. Anyway that was my point do the heirs get to receive royalties? What percentage could it be? Do tele-snaps get considered an original episode so do they get paid for tele-snaps? What about animations as these are technically not the original versions just the audio? Would they get paid less for just audio when they don’t use the visual? There’s loads of questions that I thought was interesting to talk about which is what I wanted this thread to be but nope The original post: --- Are the Classic Doctor and Companions paid royalties/ residuals for the episodes that are put on Britbox or Blu-Ray?
I would assume it obviously wouldn’t have been in the original contracts.
Also how much do you reckon they are paid to film extras for the boxsets? I’m guessing very minimal--- You asked squarely and clearly about releases of existing and new (extra) material. It was just about that, nothing more. What's more, this attitude you have of it being everyone else's fault and you're just an innocent victim isn't helping. I say don't make statements if you're not willing to defend them. It wouldn't be an argument, I suspect - merely me correcting your misapprehension. Really you had to reply? Just delete this whole thread would be easier at this point. This thread has been hijacked and completely butchered anyway Yep, get unnecessarily snarky with a mod. That's going to make you look better...

TBH, I'm not sure how we've either backed down or enabled Andy? We've moved the thread to where it should have been in the first place and warned Andy to have a think before posting. I’m only messing around. It’s all good I've seen you've used the "I'm only messing around" line a few times. Advice - just don't 'mess around' in the first place. You're prone to look like you're rubbing people up the wrong way for no reason whatsoever.

It’s not necessarily a question about a release but anyway I’m not sure what/ where this board is? As this is about how they make dvds that include missing episodes, so it seems appropriate to me The releases don't contain missing material... as missing material is missing. The releases exist because of what exists, any relation to missing material is coincidental. The original question hooks around the line: "Are the Classic Doctor and Companions paid royalties/ residuals for the episodes that are put on Britbox or Blu-Ray?"This is squarely about existing material, and what's more - a release of it. I don't know why this is hard to grasp. The Out of the Archive boards exists for this. I'm not getting involved in the personal comments which are irrelevant and unproductive to the thread, however the matter of what this is about and where it ought to be are objectively clear.

To be fair there's a reason by the Out of the Archive board exists - it's a question about a release and ought to belong there

Your attitude is awful, as is your understanding of good communication. I’m only messing. I find it quite funny how angry people on this site get about the smallest things. Apparently if they had it their way we would solely talk about missing episodes which means this site would end because there would never be anything to talk about other than retreading old ground. No more episodes out there Just trying to bring you guys what I think is interesting news regarding Classic Who that you may not have seen so that you can be informed and excited but nope you start immediately finding ways to poop on it haha. Lovely stuff You're still missing the point - the issue here isn't about colourising, or what may or may not be out there, or whether this is interesting or not. It's about communication and it wouldn't be such an issue if you just took the feedback onboard gracefully. There's a lot of hysteria in the world of Doctor Who and missing episodes - jumping to conclusions, people so optimistic that they start talking about hunches as fact, etc. Many people are very tired and weary of poor communication, reading into things where there is nothing to read, people making things seem what they are not. Things have gotten out of hand before, and will no doubt do so again. You may have done it inadvertently, but multiple people have pointed out.

Intriguing that they say "never before seen clips of colourised Doctor Who". So I will be interested to see what stories the clips are from and how well colourisations turn out to be. Agreed could be interesting. I like that you actually read and understood unlike the butthurt comments from other people haha Your attitude is awful, as is your understanding of good communication.

Yep, I also found the title misleading. The 'confirmed' makes it sound more than it is, misses out the key detail that it's also just clips - and not by the BBC. You can find examples of that on YouTube.

I really hope that someone has these episodes in their collection. Maybe we should do a reward to get then returned You've participated in threads about money/rewards on here. The answer, even from those that are experts in this field and are well connected with track records, is always a clear no. No.

The man seems to know something we don't. Which is why I asked. I don't know anything about any what's currently going on between Philip or Paul and don't try to acuse me of ill-itent, I will not tolerate it. Please consider what you write before you send it. In the same post you state that you don't want a repeat of the omnirumor and go on to report rumour as fact. If anything isn't going to be tolerated here, it's that. It's just going to get threads locked - and for good reason. I'm not a mod or admin or anything here, but we can see the emotion in posts already creeping out already and it almost invariably spirals.
