Have you considered that PV's 2 or 3 are different episodes to PM's 6? Not the same film collectors? Of course not, that's just absurd. PM will "own" any old thing he's heard. He's heard about PV's 2, so that's part of the six. LOL, now he's heard about PV's possible 3rd, it will be 6 or 7 the next time! Then there are the 17 missing episodes held to ransom in the Middle East. What on earth are you talking about?

Get your facts right, my friend - nothing to do with PV 2 missing episodes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG1uryUKNhYAnd here is the missing episodes Middle East hostage story - www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/celebs-tv/doctor-who-new-missing-episodes-6561475- Get with it, my friend, this is an old story, which you should be aware of by now. Do you need me to lead you by the hand on everything? Your above reply is so nonfactual, frankly, I would not reply upon you to show me the way to the John - I'd probably end up on a golf course with your directions.

Sorry, but a local newspaper like the Plymouth Herald is hardly a well-known publication! The opening line from the article: "Fans usually swarm to news about missing classic series episodes of Doctor Who but many have cast doubts on these latest claims" Why would anyone take a wild claim from an unnamed fan seriously?

Plymouth Herald only reported what Craig Cabell has seen himself there. Troughton material in Arabic, too - winteriscoming.net/2022/02/02/missing-doctor-who-episodes-allegedly-found-in-middle-east/You also seem to be forgetting that the Mirror is a well-known publication, but their report is being taken no more seriously.

Oh, Craig Cabell? He discussed this last year in January on his FB group. He took down his posts regarding that not too long after.
There’s no other corroboration for his claims.

PM talked about these 6 missing eps back in Apr 2020. Get your facts right, my friend - nothing to do with PV 2 missing episodes. Which is over a year after PV's comments about 2 episodes with a collector were widely reported. I'm puzzled why you don't think that PM couldn't have included those 2 in his 6. Are you pulling my leg? You must be because no one could possibly believe such an inconsistent lot of codswallop. 1960s episodes in Japan ... whose first broadcast was Pertwee in 1978? 17 episodes in Arabic, when all 40 Arabic language episodes from the 1960s still exist? All based on someone who the article says deleted their comments after making them? That story (which I saw at the time) was so barmy that it made the omnirumour look like award-winning journalism! Clearly a troll, as I pointed out when the forgettable story was reported here last year. - Get with it, my friend, this is an old story, which you should be aware of by now. Do you need me to lead you by the hand on everything? Your above reply is so nonfactual, frankly, I would not reply upon you to show me the way to the John - I'd probably end up on a golf course with your directions. LOL - you almost had me for a moment! You should add smileys to your posts so it's clear you are joking.

So, 17 in the middle-east and 9 in collectors' hands.
26 episodes to come, just need a little more patience and to tie up a few minor, trivial matters, like all economic sanctions lifted in Iran and some sort of declaration of peace and cooperation.
Should I get a bottle of bubbly ready, or maybe I don't need to quite hurry things at this end?

Arabic language prints would not be any good to Iran anyway - they speak Farsi (Persian) in Iran not Arabic. Arabic tv would be as intelligible to Iranians as if I played a Hungarian language drama to anyone on this forum. Ergo the entire rumour of Arabic prints found in Iran is claptrap.
Anyway even if there are missing prints in Iran they arent coming back anytime soon due to the political situation.

Arabic tv would be as intelligible to Iranians as if I played a Hungarian language drama to anyone on this forum. Ergo the entire rumour of Arabic prints found in Iran is claptrap. Exactly. Farsi (also known as Persian) is an Indo-European language, like English. While Arabic is Semetic, like Hebrew. Also, while Iran aired 53 Hartnell episodes in 1969/1970, not one is missing. It's possible that the two 1967 Marco Polo audition prints survives in Tehran, as a reliable report says a someone, last century, reported seeing 2 unidentified Doctor Who episodes on a shelf. Seems unlikely to me that decades later they are still around. Also, one of the Iranian episodes of Web Planet that's in the UK is from Iran. It's been speculated that the whole reason all the Iranian episodes still exist is that they were returned to BBC quite late in the day. Though even if there are Arabic Hartnells (which were dubbed in the UK in late 1966/1967) still floating around the Middle East, it doesn't matter, as none of the missing episodes were ever dubbed in Arabic. And no Arabic-speaking country ever broadcast any missing episodes, except the British Protectorate of Aden who aired Marco Polo and Reign of Terror in 1965/early 1966 - likely in English, perhaps with Arabic subtitles. Knowing all this, we know there can't be 17 Arabic missing episodes floating around. Especially in Iran! So the whole thing is obviously yet another hoax or misunderstanding. Though that the only source of this rumour retracted it a day later make this 100% not true. 26, plus ROW - an unknown figure. LOL! Okay, the jokes over. You should stop - there's some folks out there who might take you seriously. ROW? In the name of Allah, what are you talking about?

Rest of the World - which is PM's department. I believe you are thinking about EOW - Enemy of the World - which was PM's department.
