Inside The Spaceship is probably the place for this discussion.
*CJ twiddles thumbs*
The trouble, of course, is that there has been absolutely no new leads from any source, anywhere, for months. Hence the procession of threads that have virtually nothing to do with actually attempting to locate missing episodes. If there's nothing worth posting, there's nothing worth posting.

The thing is, this is a very specialised forum dealing with a very specific aspect of doctor who, i.e. the missing stuff from the original series. There are thousands of more general who forums for general chat and banter etc. I checked one or two out over the years but in honesty found that much discussion about the various socks of the doctors headache inducing and also I found the fanboying and fangirling for the remake series or whatever it is to be a bit hard to swallow..... On the plus side it seems the Nimon is doing well after his unfortunate defeat back in the late 70s: www.nimons.co.nz/ |

Phillip Morris probably is following up leads we don't know about but obviously what he did won't be made public for a while and if anything is found well we'll need to wait for that too, it's best just to sit back and forget about it for the time being. Until people in the know actually give us something tangible to speculate about there's no point. |

Absolutely bloody right Dylan...SO much more out there to enjoy rather than sitting around and getting frustrated about the lack of any announcements from Philip Morris. BBC audio, Big Finish, DWM and lots,lots more are generating exciting literature and drama which leaves the MEs in the shade.The MEs are an important aspect of Dr Who's history but don't make it the end-all and be-all.We've had almost 40 years to get used to the fact and in that time Dr Who has eclipsed it's B/W history so anything turning up from that era is a bonus sure,but as a fan you wouldn't want to watch and listen to it all the time.In fact,I listen and read more about Dr Who than actually watch it! |

When you think about it, so much good has come from the missing episodes. What you have is a few hours of television that aired over 50 years ago and that haven't been seen by any human being since then that have captured the imaginations of thousands, and continue to capture imaginations to this day. They have brought people together from all walks of life: people who would never have met each other were it not for the missing episodes, and those episodes have inspired hundreds of animations and reconstructions. People have learned new and valuable skills all for the sake of these few episodes, and then those people have made wonderful and impressive things with those skills all for the love of this 1960s science fiction show. The missing episodes have generated a culture of their own and that culture has inspired generations of people. I can say that the missing episodes were single-handedly responsible for the new book series I'm writing that deals with themes like hope, being happy with what you have, and letting go. Who knows what could surface next. Maybe it will be an episode, or maybe not, but while Doctor Who has a fan base, there will be a fan base for these 60s episodes and while there's a fan base for the 60s episodes there will always be people finding new and exciting ways to bring the missing episodes back to life and honoring their memories. It's important to remember the past, but it's also important to move on and use those memories and that conviction to make something new that will inspire future people to creating their own works and those works will, in turn, inspire even more people, and at the root of it all there will lie the missing episodes and the culture they formed. Through the legacy that we and others leave, the missing episodes will become more alive and more influential than they ever were when they existed. We may have lost cinematic treasures, but we will have gained so much more through that than we could ever have done otherwise. |

New Who is a good programme but it isn't Doctor Who. That ended when Patrick Troughton left. And still too many of his and Hartnell's episodes are missing. But is Mr Moffat trying to offer us any clues in New Who by bringing back Mondasian Cyber men and the "First" Doctor? Has Tenth Planet 4 been found? Nah. Too much to hope for

These days I probably listen and read more too (at least read in terms of read about it online, I need to get into the books more). Big Finish is a blessing, especially to 60s fans like me as the First Doctor audios are more consistently excellent than any other Big Finish Doctor at least from what I have heard. Naturally I'll come out of the woodwork once there's some tangible evidence of missing episodes returning but as we both said, it's not worth spending all your time on, I only visit this forum a couple oftimes a week and only if there is an interesting new thread do I stay longer than a few seconds. |

That is very true also, I can't think of anyway to rebuttal that, well done. I personally will probably sit in the sidelines until we get a Phil Morris update however (unless we get another random orphan from a collector, probably an Australian one if so because looking at the recovered orphans, it's pretty clear an employee at the ABC leaked and sold a few instead of destroying all of them). |

At the time I daresay audiences were a lot more forgiving of their production shortcomings, plot holes, and so forth. In my opinion Power Of The Daleks is better than any of the new who Dalek stories (most of which, especially the recent ones are pretty crap). Power is just much cleverly written than most of the new stuff, it knows how to actually make the Daleks scary and a credible threat. The only episodes close are the great Dalek stories in new series 1, besides them its no contest. |
