Weren’t these discovered years ago by fans thinking it was something new and come to find out the archivists were simply recording things they use to have? Or was that a different database?

The Myth Makers and Savages rumor is from a tweet by Mark Gatiss who opined that we are overdue for a reveal and was okay with them being from those two stories. (I assume under the idea that they’d be the least wanted eps).
The issue is that those serials work nicely with Paul’s comment that two eps are safe with a collector. One from the Australian return and another that wasn’t.
The rumor that both are Hartnell came from a third party that said Paul had told him that.
... that’s what I can remember.

We're surely in a different era of Animations now. The previous era governed by different studios for each animation and an unspoken rule of "50% missing or less". After the success of Power of the Daleks, looks like BBC Studios is taking the lead on larger animations with color versions and a more vocal PR campaign. Which is good!
I wouldn't say that they've "ruled out" the possibility of missing episodes showing up ... but they are animating stories that are the least likely to show up again. Of course, there may be a day that an animated episode WILL be recovered. (Not including Faceless 1 or 3, we already had those).

Separate. There was idle speculation about the Iran prints a few months or weeks prior to Paul’s reveal of two eps in a collector’s hands.
I don’t remember the specifics of the Iran thing. I think a second hand account of someone seeing something in the place they would be?

I don't know about the others, but strip 1 is clearly moving. It’s moving film. Only 11ish frames each. Dunno what that would look like ... Wonder if there were more frames at some point?

I was born in the 80s, but my young youth was marked by the final repeats of Lassie and I Love Lucy. Still my world has always been color tv.
I really appreciate the black and white art style. There was more atmosphere in some ways for deep emotions. I’m glad the animations imitate this with black and white.

Are they animating all six? Or just the four missing? Can any more restoration work be done on the two we have? I know one of the eps is in bad shape.

Yes, it's well worth a listen. In it, Paul confirms that he knows of a collector who has 16 mm film cans with labels indicating that they contain two missing Doctor Who episodes, one of which may have come from the 1975 return from Australia, but the other definitely not. Paul has not examined the contents so he cannot confirm whether the films match the cans. In light of this news and as a matter of interest...which 2 episodes would you folks like to see returned the most? The 1975 returns would include: Galaxy 4, The Myth Makers, The Smugglers, The Tenth Planet, The Power of the Daleks, The Underwater Menace, The Moonbase, The Faceless Ones, The Evil of the Daleks, The Abominable Snowmen, The Ice Warriors, The Web of Fear, The Invasion, and The Space Pirates. Non-1975 returns would include: Marco Polo, The Reign of Terror, The Crusade, Mission to the Unknown, The Dalek's Masterplan, The Massacre, The Celestial Toymaker, The Savages, The Highlanders, The Macra Terror, Fury of the Deep, and the Wheel in Space. The question really is: which two would you want from each group? A lot of you who answered Luke managed to keep to the rule anyway! Don't know if that was intentional or not. For me I'd want Four Hundred Dawns (Galaxy4 4) from the first group, and The Destruction of Time (Masterplan 12) from the second.

After what happened to Web3 Philip Morris stated he would not return any more Dr Who unless it completed a story [until the search was over], to stop other episodes going the same way as web3. We dont know what was dug up in the desert, he said cans were found and in good condition if i remember. The gaps between recoveries have been a lot longer than 7 years, and remember Web and enemy were found 2 years before they were revealed. The restoration teams contract was also extended. Or perhaps we could go with the obvious explanation, he hasn’t found any more DW. It’s clear from the animations that he hasn’t found anything of Power, Wheel or Macra. I don’t believe Wheel has been announced yet. I know there was the Britbox recon, but the DVD hasn’t been described yet? Or am I wrong? I’m in the chorus that says just give PM some time. He probably hasn’t forgotten us. He knows we’re awaiting his story.

Another Kal announcement for Doctor Who Audios today. The main thread is in the Doctor Who section of course.
However, on the tapes is also the complete audio for Sky at Night: THE MOONS OF JUPITER tx 14.1.66, and the final 3m36s of Sky at Night: MAN ON THE MOON tx 11.3.66

Yes. The two 'Sky at Night' episodes (one incomplete) are both missing shows. From that period, most 'Sky at Night' programmes were pre-recorded, but not all were. Only a handful were ever sold although a great many more were film recorded. Paul Paul, Is there anything on the Doctor Who side that was previously missing completely? A trailer, announcement, or a few seconds we didn't have audio for? Or is it all purely upgrades? I'm really happy for this return. I hope it spurs the recovery of other Randolph Tapes ... if any existed in the first place.

The Doctor Who audio tapes have proved to be quality recordings! Included is a bit of Sky at Night (was this missing?). The recordings are proving to be quite impressive!

I adored this story and it’s in my top 5 Troughtons! I’m so happy!

If a TIEA find, it would indicate the progress of their global search. In addition the find of ANY doctor who reel could assist in the further understanding of sale paths and what happened after countries were done with the episodes. A reel of Unearrhly Child might assist us in better understanding what happened with Marco Polo. (Or it might not) Think about the Web reels that showed they were in countries we hadn’t expected. If we find evidence like that on an Aztec reel or on the film itself, it be helpful. But it does NOT mean that "a discovered film can of Marco Polo might well be sitting on the shelf quite naturally alongside" as some would leap to. Also, sometimes the cans are empty... I’m not saying that. I’m saying one can’t discount a film can from the sixties because it could help us better understand what happened. I don’t think and would never think it’s an instant ticket to a missing episode.... just a possibly better understanding of what could’ve happened.
