Space Pirates. The rest can remain lost. Those words... Is it possible to use them in a sentence together like that?

The funny thing is I can remember watching all that seasons Troughton serials apart from The Space Pirates. I must have watched it but I can't remember it at all, no impression either good or bad has been left. Even watching the orphan episode didn't jog the memory. Although as a 6-year-old I positively loved DW, I do recall finding the first episode of one story so boring that I soon gave up watching it. I only have a very vague recollection of the actual episode, but that's sufficient to confirm that is was almost certainly Space Pirates.

Living in hope that more missing episodes will come back to us.

We tend to ask this one quite often, don't we :-)
It's Abominable Snowmen for me.

One of only a handful of serials that i'd be thinking "Why did it have to be from this one?" if episodes got found from it, alongside Reign of Terror.

In support of Ed's post (trying to be positive) - do we REALLY know what happened to the 22 episodes sent to Zambia in 1976 (Seeds of Death, Space Pirates and War Games)? If they were returned to BBC Enterprises, how come Seeds of Death and War Games survived but Space Pirates did not (Seeds of Death were found at Enterprises in 1978 by Ian Levine and War Games was sent from Enterprises to the BFI in 1977). If they were NOT returned, OK Phil Morris did not find anything there in 2008, therefore either they were junked by Zambia TV or perhaps they could be lurking somewhere else in Lusaka or Kitwe. It is not impossible that they were NOT junked (as per Enemy and Web in Nigeria). If so, heaven only knows where they might be now, but they might be in the vicinity of projection equipment, i.e. cinemas, or even relay stations if there are any Just a thought...………...

Space Pirates. The rest can remain lost. Really, Ed? Come on.... Definitely The Space Pirates. I love how it's almost a forerunner of the audacious ambition of Season 24. I wish there were more tongue-in-cheek Troughton stories like this. If it's lined up in PM's next cache of reveals, I won't be complaining. Been waiting to see the rest of this since The Trougthon Years VHS in 91. JNT chose wisely for his selection of episodes for that release. I think TPP's position in the polls will alter once people view this story in it's entirety, as happened with TEOTW.

One of only a handful of serials that i'd be thinking "Why did it have to be from this one?" if episodes got found from it, alongside Reign of Terror.[/quote] That’s the feeling I had with UWM 2. Of all the season 4 episodes to return. I’d have even preferred either episode 1 or 4 from the same story! Of course I was delighted with it’s return buu not AS delighted as I’d have been with anything else. And I seem to be in a minority of people who prefer episode 3 with its truly bonkers ‘dance of the fish people’. If it didn’t exist I’m sure fans would be clamouring to see how that was achieved on-screen. Because we’ve always had it it’s taken for granted I feel.

A hard choice indeed -
Obviously all & any would be a thing of wonder, but to whittle it down a bit :
marco, crusade, celestial toymaker, massacre, power, faceless ones, & even space pirates I would dearly love to see back
& then even more so :
masterplan, the savages, evil, abominable, fury & wheel:
very hard to whittle those further -
but let's say evil & abominable
... & the winner is ( sort of ! ) :
The Abominable Snowmen !
And in the longer list would also include mythmakers & macra, but the Loose Cannon recons of those are so especially ( & more so ) good - as is their recon of episode one of wheel for that matter - that I sort of feel like I've actually seen them ( I did happen to see the actual wheel in 68 & indeed probably all the Troughtons except his 1st 3 stories but the memory of these is, of course, somewhat faded. I was too young, alas, for any conscious memories of the Hartnells; though was probably in the vicinity as I believe my parents & brother probably saw most ).
