Totally agree with John Wall ...I also think something may be on the cards as a surprise for the 60th.

Have you noticed that if you place the episodes of The Underwater Menace in a table it looks like a sandwich, the missing episodes are the bread and the existing ones the filling inside

This craft of yours, this time space craft. Could it get us out of here?

We also know that, in the 1970s, one episode of The Tenth Planet went missing from the Blue Peter production office in London, and is also now 'at large' somewhere in England. Off the top of my head, TP4 went back to Enterprise and was junked - it was DMP4 (The Traitors) which didn't go back to where it came from - the film library IIRC. Though, people far more knowledgeable than I have said on multiple occasions that it's believed it got mistakenly sent to Enterprise instead of back to the film library, and got junked there. Though it would be very nice to think that it might still be out there somewhere. It's always bothered me that, while people will say that the Blue Peter production office supposedly made an error and sent the TP4 film to Enterprises, nevertheless it was the only episode of that serial which was destroyed (if it was). The fact that the rest of the serial survived suggests that Enterprises had not issued a destruction order for that serial. But if it went missing, it clearly went missing in London. So its most likely location today would be London or the home counties, rather than overseas. Since the BBC existed in scattered premises all over London, London is always going to be the logical place to look. Since Enterprises had offices outside London, for instance in Bath, that would also be a logical place to look. Must we always assume that there is more joy to be had in Algeria? |

The TP4 film came from Enterprises, so to return it there wouldn't have been a mistake. They were still offering the whole story for sale the following year, though it's possible they didn't realise episode 4 had been mislaid, if not deliberately junked. Sadly it's probably long since lost or destroyed. |

Most surviving Doctor Who negatives from the mid-60s were junked in 1974. |
