Hello All,
The year of 2006 is coming to an end. However, we have much to be thankfull for as far as recoveries go. There have been episodes of Boyd QC, Sierra Nine, A for Andromeda, Out Of The Unknown, and The Hippodrome Show have been recovered. There have also been other clip finds, as well as audio finds.
However a shadow lays across the recoveries. It seems like several people like to get fans riled about something they posess, only to be proves as a liar, and a hoaxer. There was the elaborate Marco Polo Hoax, The Mighty Kublai Kahn Posting, more recently 10th Planet 4 ? However the last one is under observation, could be some truth there, however the consensus is that it couls be another hoax. I hope that the consensus is wrong, and that the last Hartnell episode has indeed been located, I sure hope so. However fans have come to be skeptical about such things. All that being said, I believe that hoaxers will keep on at it. The trhill of disappointing fans gives them a perverse thrill so it seems. Why can't they just go out and do drugs or drink, not pester people who are genuinely concerned for these old episodes of television. That day of rest may be a long way off, I hope that it is not for all our sakes. I just thought I would state all that, and see if other members or guests have anything else they might like to contribute. Please try to keep all your postings on a civil level.
Cheers, Lance.
