Hello Again, I was reading up on the beer-drinkers site as to keep an eye on the false LanceM who is posting over there. On October 17th someone by the name of Jim told a rather interesting tale. Look at the site: www.beerdrinkershellraisersanddrwhofans.co.uk/He claims that he actually met this chap, who in the past he (or someone by his name ) claimed to have episode 4 of the Tenth Planet, at the time it was a rather cruel hoax on the who community. However I was just wondering if Jim actually did meet this Roger Barrett, and he said he had the film. Jim also stated that when he met Roger Barrett in the 80's he was rather old, he could still be alive, or most certainly relatives who could posses his films.Then could there be a very, very slight chance that he actually does or did posses this episode? As I stated before this is all guesswork, a theory, I am not claiming that all of this is factual. I just thought I would post this theory and see what becomes of it. Any interesting comments or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lance.

Lance, don't even start. This is a well known hoaxer, with no credibility. He has exhausted the patience of many fans and episode hunters.

You really need a healthy dose of skepticism.
Rumors almost NEVER pan out to anything. If you look at most of the missing episode recoveries there have been NO rumors preceding them
E.g. - The Lion - Tomb - The Ice Warriors - Day of Armageddon etc...
Best is to assume that any rumor you hear is NOT TRUE unless proven otherwise...

From memory, the *only* missing episodes which came back after rumours were the Evil/Faceless episodes and one of the Wheels. Every other rumour, as far as I recall, has either been false or so vague as to be impossible to investigate. As for RB: "Roger Barratt never had the Tenth Planet 4, it was one big hoax and they fell for it hook, line and sinker. Roger Barratt does not exist."

Ok, As I stated on my first posting that this is just a theory I was wondering about, and wanted to get your input on. Some people here really should read the bottom of my first post. I am not supporting this, I will take your word that this guy is fictional. And that there is no truth to this rumor that I found on beerdrinkers. I did not start this rumor, the guy on beerdrinkers started it, contact him, but don't berate him as much as me if you please. Man, people need to learn to take a breath every now and then, and learn to just relax and go with the flow. Well I guess this is a dead end, will post back later.
Lance.

No one is berating you, just that dredging up age old rumours that have proved to be false does not help clear the muddy waters of what may still exist out there. Some background reading, Ash Stewarts site is an excellent starting point, could well answer alot of your questions and so avoid you needing to open up old, dead, lines of enquiry. No offence is meant by any of this, you asked the question and you were given the answers :-)

What is wrong with the word "S P O O N F U L L" ? Is the Chinese State Media now running this site "P-o-o-n" is an abbreviation of "p-o-o-n-t-a-n-g", an early 20th century US slang term for horizontal dancing. (In Australia, it just means a dickhead with no sexual connotation.) The trouble with the naughty word filter is that, aside from being wonderfully old-fashioned, it hacks out strings in the middle of words. That's why there will never be a rumour about Who episodes turning up in Scun-thorpe. But all this is drifting woefully from the topic of wild rumours. So what's this I hear about The Macra Terror turning up in Sweden?

And yet I can still quite happily post "bugger" on here with no problems at all...
As for "The Macra Terror" in Sweden - I haven't heard about this myself. Mind you I understand it is just as easy to catch crabs in Sweden as it is anywhere else...
;D

Before "Macra in Sweden" starts to gain credence: there was a report in DWB 12ish years ago that a batch of films had been recovered from Scandinavia, and included Macra Terror and maybe more. That Macra Terror is still missing should tell you all you need to know...

Doctor Who was never shown Sweden, although the Swedish TV archives are very complete and very well documented. If there was something there, it would have been discovered and returned by now.

Sorry, I'll pick something less credible: What's all this I hear about three episodes of The Savages turning up in Guam?
