I just read the message about the dates the Feast of Steven and other episodes of the Daleks Masterplan were destroyed. Are there exact records for when other episodes were destroyed, or was that just unusually specific for that story? The only dates I have ever been able to find is that they were destroyed sometime between 1973 and 1978. If anyone knows any other specific dates or can direct me to someplace were I can find specific dates online, I would greatly appreciate it.

The dates quoted will be dates for the wiping of the original video tapes, not the junking of the films (which is what went on 1972-78).
Don't know about online info re the wiping dates, but there is a rather splendid article about it in issue #2 of Nothing At The End of The Lane.

Are there any dates known for the wiping of the original tapes? I know that the stories were held as both broadcast tapes and oversees sales prints and that they were destroyed without the other having any knowledge that the other was doing this. I was just wondering if anyone knew any further specific dates.

The "Nothing At The End of the Lane" article (by Andrew Pixley) has dates for the wiping of something like 95% of the B&W episodes. For example, the greatest of the Troughton stories was wiped on:
Ep 1 - 21/7/69
Ep 2 - 21/7/69
Ep 3 - 22/9/69
Ep 4 - 22/9/69.
It's well worth getting a copy (that is, if it's not sold out by now).

When you say "the greatest of the Troughton stories" with 4 parts, do you mean The Macra Terror, The Moonbase, or The Krotons? Personally, I would assume this to be The Macra Terror.

Rule #1: never assume... No, no, and no.  |

Nah - "The Highlanders" I would gladly sacrifice either "The Krotons" or "The Dominators" for that one. |

The Underwater Menace? That's the one! No, it's the 6-parter broadcast a few weeks before that one! |

What are you people going on about?
It's already been established that "The Underwater Menace" is the greatest of all Troughtons - a fact recognised by all right-thinking people. Keep up!

Underwater Menace is good, but I would have to say that either "Fury From The Deep" or "The Web of Fear" would be up there for me as some of the greatest missing Troughton stories.
