Not exactly news, but I think it's worth a mention here.
From 2014:
"of the 22 episodes produced only a recently discovered, previously-unseen, 23rd episode survives on film. The rest only survive on 1-inch video tape and, as such, any serious restoration is virtually impossible. Similarly, The Day After Tomorrow, a one-off pilot from the 1970s no longer exists in its original 35mm format."
Thankfully:
Copyrighted in 1988, but unreleased until 2014, when it surfaced on "The Lost Worlds of Gerry Anderson" DVD. It was later included as a bonus feature on the 2017 "Dick Spanner" DVD set. www.imdb.com/title/tt3961638/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv
Does the title have anything to do with a 'missing episode', or is it just a pun? IMDB has:
"The opener for an unfinished third series finds a group of detectives assembled in Paris, where they're bumped off in the manner of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" (aka "Ten Little Indians")."
