Hopefully, such a wild assertion won't get you into trouble! Oh dear, is that likely? I was not trying to be rude, in fact I absolutely condemn doing stuff like that. I only felt it was worth noting as it means that others were at least, picking up the film cans before they were found. This could support that one was just picked up randomly and taken. I checked for forum rules and I cannot see any rule against pointing stuff out if it could be seen as evidence.

I can't see what you mean. Where's the attempted joke? If you zoom in, someone appears to have drawn a rude picture on the fourth film can from the top. I doubt it was Philip Morris, so even though it is rather unpleasant, it does mean that at least one person knew of and interacted with those film cans before they were "found" - even if just to draw something on some "old junk". I think you're rather seeing things that aren't there.

It's just that gender-stuff has seen wonderful, thoroughly decent, terrific people drummed off other sites. I doubt that ME would do that, and was being a bit tongue in cheek. Your post immediately had me thinking of Marvel's problem with Bucky's willy ebabble.net/captain-america-the-classic-years/ but then I'm just that kind of guy!

Sorry for bring it up. Either way, if someone has draw on it, it means that at least someone had interacted with the film cans before.

I have to admit to being optimistic to the WOF episode surviving, but have no evidence for that. It would be a wonderful humanitarian gesture were anyone having missing DW episodes to make them available at this time.

Ah right, I was a bit worried for a moment. I am autistic and have a tendency to miss judge what I say and tend to get banded from a lot of places because of it.

I'm sorry to hear that AB. Too little recognition is sometimes given to such things. I'm pleased to say that ME is 99.9 percent of the time, a friendly, supportive place.

Phil is totally convinced that the station manager was bribed, yet even he believes that WOF3 was a random tape selection.

Of course people would have interacted with the film cans during their history. They're cans that have been around the world, probably been in multiple countires and ended up in the archive/storeroom of a Nigerian television station. It's not possible that they got there would people interacting with them.

Maybe it's a picture of someone's bottom rather than a thingy. That's where one would normally expect to find piles - LOL!

All I can see on the 4th film can down is that someone has drawn the letters, "PP" Which is the story code for Enemy of The World

"My own theory is that the guy took a film off the pile so he could do a bit of research-" The difficulty that I (and possibly others) have with this is that is seems so strange that The Web of Fear: Episode Three was taken at random. Given that before the return of The Enemy of the World, it was not really considered to be one of the better serials, if I were to steal an episode from one of the two serials, it would have been from The Web of Fear; and if I could have only taken one, it would have been the third episode: the one that introduces The Brigadier (Colonel). It just seems odd that out of twelve episodes, arguably the most valuable one was stolen by chance. There was twice that chance that one of the existing episodes would have taken instead. Another thing is, if someone did just grab it off the top of the pile, why was The Web of Fear 3 on top? If I were Philip Morris and had been looking at these film cans, I would have stacked them in order, or at the very least but the two existing episodes on top just in case someone decided to take one. Would somebody randomly reach into a pile and take one from midway through? I suppose Philip Morris could have looked at that episode especially due to it being the Brigadier's first and then put it on top last. I do think it is important to be realistic when thinking about these things (so putting aside rumours like: Fury From the Deep was stolen from Nigeria too, and things like that) and saying that an (important) episode from the middle of a serial was randomly picked from a group of twelve seems unlikely; although maybe I am just seeing villainous intent instead of a mere coincidence. Most things happen for really boring, unintentional, and unexciting reasons. Or put another way: for no reason in particular. Mystery always makes us consider juicy possibilities more. Reality is usually much more mundane.
