Roger Barrett is getting good with these disguises. He's like the Master of missing episodes, now.
Who will he disguise himself as next? Today, a young American woman who works in retail. Tomorrow, a Nigerian prince.
He might even disguise himself as Ian Levine, next. It's always the most unlikely people. Stay alert, or you could be the next victim. Trust nobody, not even your moustache.

I remember seeing an episode from the Hartnell era, in this episode it turned out that Hartnell was on leave and the episode was actually called 'Tony Soprano vs. The Weeping Angels'! As you can imagine it was amazing, but then as I was watching the FBI knocked down my front door and arrested me, I'm still in prison now guys!!!

Main difference is I was watching it in an abandoned ice cream van with Pamela Anderson and Jerry Ryan. I am in max security, naturally. I would have got away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky FBI.............

I don't think it was the missing episodes they were worried about, LOL.

This evening my wife and I were going around to a few places in northeastern Oklahoma and found ourselves browsing in a comic book store. The employee on duty was a young woman, probably in her mid-to-late 20s, and it became immediately clear that she was a fellow Whovian. We kept up a conversation with her as we browsed and she was clearly a very experienced fan of both Classic and New Who. I had my eye on their copy of Wiped! Doctor Who’s Missing Episodes by Richard Molesworth and nearly bought it. As we kept browsing and talking she brought up the subject of missing episodes. My wife isn’t as knowledgeable about the history of Classic Who and missing episodes as I am because she never became a fan until the Matt Smith era but I listened attentively as this young woman said things that just seemed too good to be true. If I remember the timeframe correctly, she told us of how she spent four months intensely researching the missing episodes online. Apparently near the end of those four months, she claimed to have accidentally stumbled across a website dedicated to missing episodes that had a listing of everything currently known to exist. She was shocked because she knew the number of lost episodes was 97, yet this particular website listed the number as being significantly smaller than that, and that it had all known Hartnell and Troughton episodes posted for online viewing on their site. She said that she got through all of the Hartnell era and was less than halfway through the Troughton era when the website was discovered and shut down by the government. But she told me that she watched all but about 20 of Hartnell’s episodes (44 are currently listed as missing) and specifically told me that she watched all of Marco Polo on this website and that some of DMP is still missing. I asked her if what she saw was telesnap recons or complete episodes and she said they were all complete with no telesnaps. As we were leaving she said that she was going to be looking online some more in hopes that whoever was running that previous website might start up a new one and post everything from the previous one on it and would be willing to share with us when/if she found it. She did say some things that caused me to seriously question her credibility (and possibly her sanity since, for starters, she thought The Purge was a good idea), but my wife said some things to me in the car after we left that got me thinking. She was as skeptical as I was, but suggested that maybe this woman could very well be nerdy/geeky enough to know how to access something I’d never heard of but she called the dark web, and that if she was telling the truth then whatever she was looking at was sure to be on the dark web and not anywhere that regular people would ever know of its existence. Has anyone else here ever heard of anything like this online? The dark web is where you buy Lithuanian drivers licences, no questions asked. I understand there are indeed videos on the dark web, but they are the sort that should land everyone involved in prison, and then in hell. But the thing is, if there was a secret website on the dark web with videos -- the sort of people with the technical know how to even get on the dark web are going to find the task of ripping a video to be child's play. Anything there would have shown up on usenet or in trading circles.

If there was missing material of DW on the web anywhere (dark, web, deep web, black web), it would have been copied and dispersed. We would be informed on this board very shortly. I would be surprised if member of this forum are not trolling the corners of the web for just such things. Just an updated version of the rumors 20+ ears ago that there were secret fan conventions where ME were shown. If true, someone would have captured them by armpit cam and they would have come to light.
I think it far more likely (still not likely), the dark web would be the place for a print of an ME to appear in an attempt to sell it.

Whilst I agree that the dark web would be a likely place for a hoarder to sell an episode, I think the more likely place overall would still be eBay or a car boot sale since I reckon that the largest proportion of missing episodes in private hands would probably be owned by people who don't have a clue what they have and so sell them on unwittingly.

Agreed. Ebay and boot sales for those who are ignorant of the rarity. I assume the Dark Web only for someone who knows full well the plight of missing episodes, copyright issues andd just wants to make $ of their find.
