The 3 stories left with no moving footage of any kind. Does anyone recall these the most lost of all?

At least we have telesnaps of most of Marco Polo now, thanks to Derek Handley, though I don't seem to be able to locate them online. I suppose it's entirely possible we may one day find telesnaps of some of the other missing episodes. (c.f. www.angelfire.com/magic/thedoctorwhonexus/telesnaps.htm) Richard |

IIRC it's not quite the case as I think I read somewhere, some time back, possibly at this forum that it had been proved (maybe by comparing the soundtracks) that the opening scene of the first Marco Polo episode is the exact same scene as the final scene of the previous The Edge Of Destruction story.
ie. it wasn't restaged as was usually the case with such scenes.
If so (& I could be mistaken about the above) then that does mean there is one small bit of genuine moving footage from a Marco Polo episode which definitely exists.

I think you might be mistaken about this, because they sound completely different from one another. |

stevegerald - sounds like I'm probably wrong then. Apologies to all.
I did read it somewhere though, quite a few years back now - no doubt whoever wrote what I read was also mistaken.

stevegerald - may well be the episodes you mention. The thing about a cough sounds familiar. Also these days a basic computer analysis of the sound would no doubt quickly show if things like voices are at the exact same frequencies & speed relative to one word to another etc.

From my memory I only can bring to mind the loading of the TARDIS onto the wagon to transport it.

I admit the truth of the thread, that no moving images survive from these three serials. Of course, I recently saw an interview with Edward De Souza, who starred in 'Mission to the Unknown', who recommended the following link, courtesy of the University of Central Lancashire: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW8yk-m5Ig8 |

Sadly not, too early for me. Possible vague recollections from as early as the Savages, gradually improving on from there.
