Good grief! Talking about taking a comment and turning it into something completely and utterly different. But Lance isn't talking about the television station/network, which is precisely my point. My query is asking why anyone would think that the Caymen *government* would hold an archive of television programmes rather than the *television service* of that particular country. I made what I thought was a logical assumption that the Cayman government controlled/funded at least one television station within its borders. This is true for a good number of nation-states in the world, including the UK. |

Why would a Morman church basement have any episodes? For the record, there's no indication of the Morman's ever purchasing any DW material.  |

Have these been checked in on? |

I have been wondering the same thing. I asked the same question a while ago, no responses on that subject.

Have these been checked in on? I remember this being asked elsewhere, but I can't remember the answer. I think it might have been that there are no existing records, so such an avenue can't be explored, but don't quote me on that! |

On the Mormon Church recovery...I have read online that the story dosn't make sence, with the inference that it was cover for returning stolen material. Does anyone known any more about this?

Having spoken directly to Steve Bryant about this (he was in charge of the F&VT Archive at the time), he confirms that the story is absolutely true as reported. The call came in that the film cans had been discovered and did the BBC want them back. Steve dispatched a colleague to go and pick them up and thus they were recovered. No cover stories here!

I seem to recall that there was other BBC material also recovered in the same crate of films.
Any idea what this other material was ?

From memory, there was an episode of Warship and a couple of schools programmes.

Why can't the BBC put an add on the end of the first episode of the first episode of series two ? It seems like a smart way to reach all of the who fans, and the general public about the hunt for missing episodes. Could someone at the RT inquire if this could occur in the new series ?

The problem with this is that 99.9% of the people who would see that advertisemnt wouldn't know what a 16mm telerecording was if it hit them in the head. Plus, the most likely people to have such things and not know their value probably are not watching Dr. Who anyway.....

You would probably get better results putting some kind of blurb before or after "Antiques Roadshow" (do they still show that in the UK?) |

Dear Mr. Blan,
The Antiques Roadshow is still a current show on BBC 1 and there is also a version called the 20th Century Roadshow. We have had a programme recently for archive film made by Mitchell and Kenyon pre WW1 so some viewers should be aware of the possible value of old film.
Frederick
