Well... That's good to hear. Your theory actually has a reason and motive behind what could happened. Most just talk about how just by coincidence, x epsiode could have ended up in y location if a,b, and c conditions were met. Personally I have a strange feeling Power will stay missing while MasterPlan will come back. Its a bit of a meme with my friends, simply because MP ends up found. I baffles me!

Same here. Power is lower on my list for an episode to be found than MP, simply because we have a quarter of MP, more if you count trimmed footage, from only two sets of prints while we have 0 episodes from 4 sets of prints for Power. The fact that we have as many episodes of MP as we do is a good indicator, at least in my opinion, that there could be more of it out there.

But is that logical, I ask you. It's a bit like saying, I've never won at the races but I once won something in the lottery. That proves that my only real chance is the lottery.

Some very interesting information, of course it could be some more idiots trying to get us excited over nothing. But if it is true that at least gives us a little bit of hope to Power's existence (which is more than before) but even if it wasn't thrown out by the school (assuming they don't still have it) it could be absolutely anywhere in Singapore sold to some shop or sold to a collector. If this information could be verified it'd definitely be worth Phil Morris or Ian Levine looking into it as Singapore is thankfully not the largest country (only a 5.3 million population) and it's pretty civilised. I wouldn't get your hopes up in any capacity however.

Interesting, but there are too many similarities here with the New Zealand/Macra Terror report for my liking. The cynic in me imagines the reviewer laughing as he types in `Having seen the original first episode back in the late 70s' at the end of his piece anticipating the inevitable responses. On a separate note it is quite bizarre that Amazon will allow twenty reviews - mostly giving a five star rating - for an item that no-one has seen yet.

As it happens,I had an opportunity to see the full animated Power at a YWCA sleepover in Poonah in '79.It's very good.

I wouldn't get your hopes up in any capacity however. It's possible that Ian already has Power, or at least parts of it. He could be using it to barter with other collectors, he's done it in the past so why not the in present. It might boil down to this. Do you want a complete season 4 minus Evil and Power, or just a full Power...

This is great news!!! Looks like were getting answers, BIG answers. I didn't mean to say (and stated so in the opening of my thread) that this was a pointer, or an answer, to the current existence of Power, just that it may have survived a bit longer than we always assumed. Been a lot of nonsense this weekend about a November 'massive announcement' (during the release of animated POTD - yeah right!) Also, some prankster using our much-respected Douglas Wulf's good name (as before link missingepisodes.proboards.com/thread/9714/hoaxer) to say that episodes have been found in Ireland that were 'illegally-telecined' and that DMP 11& 12 are still 'stuck together' (for shame). I wish this guy (or two) would pack it in for good, as their 'lists' and 'dates' raises hopes (for the millionth time since 2013). It is also fraud to use another's name. Have tried to challenge him, but no answer, sadly. Of course we'll get more missing Who, but not in any one's predicted time - and a returned Web 3 and only that would be enough of an announcement for me. But now, back to the subject of that private '78 showing of Power... Where was someone posting about Ireland and DMP 11 and 12 using my name? On Amazon perhaps? Or on Planet Mondas Forum? I posted no such thing myself, although on PMF I quoted an old post by DuffHimself because I was asked about it. That was just quoting, not claiming. Can you let me know if someone was posting under my name elsewhere? (Thanks so much for looking out for me too!)

Can you let me know if someone was posting under my name elsewhere? (Thanks so much for looking out for me too!) Douglas, thanks for replying about this. Yes, on Planet Mondas Forum I wondered at first if this was you, due to your name being used in the past by 'M.B.E of Tooting' - The above portion is from Mondas, and shows the bit about Ireland and DMP 11 & 12. But now I understand this is you, right? I got a bit suspicious about the 'DMP 11 & 12 stuck together' as the origin of this came from the Amazon discussion group where M.B.E has fun and games using several accounts and always opens with "I am new to this forum". He used your name before and you mentioned this in the 'hoaxer' thread.

Ok. I hate to be a party pooper but I have a couple of problems here.
The thread title. "News Flash". This is not news, it is a very possible and most probable hoax post. On the basis of the information given it certainly doesn't merit two exclamation marks!! Someone's comments on a review site is not hard evidence and that brings me to my second problem.
Whilst we all would love to believe this guys story I'm really not convinced. The way he initially talks about the episode, he sounds like a fan rather than an interested 'not we'.
I don't think we are getting BIG answers here I think we're getting the usual BIG BULL****.
And now the thread has devolved into regurgitating the Irish BBC engineer who privately telecined Dr Who episodes.
This is the sort of rumour regurgitation that is spouted on other forums and not the stuff I expect to see on the boards here on MEF.

Are we that desperate that we'll take an Amazon review as a source and dress it up as fact?
Yes, I suppose we are.

Ed:
No worries!
Just to clarify what happened there, someone on PMF asked me if I knew about the origin of the rumor that missing episode announcements would be made in 'tranches.' This was a rumor back in 2013 and 2014.
In answer to that direct question posed to me, and with the alert that I was discussing pure rumor (which I usually try to avoid), I quoted some old posts about 'Phase 1' and 'Phase 2' and so forth, and then showed (with quotes) how the rumor had died because a person's source said that the idea of having 'tranches' had ultimately been abandoned.
Those words about DMP 11 and 12 were just part of that poster's original quote from years back. That is, those words were just included because they were part of the original context. I know nothing about any stuck-together prints of any sort.
However, as I said before, thanks for verifying that that was really me and not some hoaxer, since that did indeed happen to me previously.

Probably not true. But then, who knows. Don't get many leads and its probably still worth considering. Although, as was pointed out, the trail probably went cold regardless.

Just had a look on Google and school in question has a Facebook page, it may be possible for someone to check the authenticity of the Amazon claim by asking if anyone there around in the 70s remembers private screenings of films. Of course I find the whole thing unlikely as why would people from Singapore be on UK Amazon.
