someone was trying to be funny on the fourth can down - not impressed. I can't see what you mean. Where's the attempted joke?

Nice to have you back. Is this episode of Points of View known about? It reviews Suspense as a recently started show, so it's probably May or early June 1962. Cricket historians might be able to date the mouse incident.

Assuming I found myself transported to the past, with no warning, no preparation, no money, no 21st century technology, my option are limited. Also assuming I know only what I remember, right at this moment, and can't look it up. Some of you have details memorised about where and when every lost episode was last seen, but I don't.
I can think of only two things I could do.
1) Ask John Cura for help. Tell him that his photos will be one day very valued. See if I can persuade him to increase the number of photos. And to do it for every episode.
2) Get Ian Levine's help. Tell him a few years early that Doctor Who episodes are being lost. Get his influence earlier to stop the wiping. Get him involved earlier in the hunt for missing episodes. And suggest that he look in Sierra Leone.

I’ve got vague recollections of what I think might have been a colour clip of the Cushing Sherlock Holmes, with Holmes getting quite animated with Mrs Hudson about dust on a mantle piece, being shown on Nationwide in the 70’s for some reason. I could easily be miss-remembering a clip of a different film or series but it seems to fit. If I’m right then it’s probably from one of the known 6 surviving episodes, but I thought I’d mention it.
That's from the film The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. Or, to be exact, that film contained a scene where Holmes and Mrs Hudson argue about dust. It's possible there were similar discussions in multiple films.

Stranger things have happened-remember when the Father Dear Father family met Callan? Uh, no I don't. Details?

16.11.1967 Springtime for Hunter The only existing copies have burnt-in subtitles. The second title is a nod to Springtime for Hitler, surely? I wonder. The episode was broadcast 16 November 1967. The film was released in USA November 22 1967. Presumably it didn't reach UK until several months after that. Would the show's writers even have known about the film and the song at the time? Would the audience recognise the reference, if it was deliberate?

... the original start looked like Dr Omo, (like the old washing powder, it really does, check it out!!) ...
Actually, Doctor OHO.
There's a reason for that. They used an O and half an H as a seed for the howlround effect. Then they mirror-imaged it. And reversed the film, so that it seemed to emerge from the effect, rather than disappear into it.

Note, one of the images shows an episode title: The Survivors. It's episode 2 of the first Dalek story, and it isn't missing.
What possible unrecovered clips from the Hartnell Dalek stories could there be? Isn't everything largely intact from those episodes?
9 out of 12 episodes of The Daleks Masterplan are missing. Any clip from these would be significant. But I doubt we'll find it here.

I suspect, BTW, that Mecry is a typo for Mercy, and Meckham is a typo for Peckham.
Not that I can find any info about these alleged shows even with the corrections.

Hmmm. My spider sense is tingling. Those episode synopses read like a wind-up. Not a sausage about the series on Times Digital Archive, not on Anthony Newley's imdb and I can't find a trace of 'Simon Loxdale. Sounds like a great show, though.
