...what happened to it?
About two weeks ago, a post appeared on this site alerting people to the fact a print of a missing Rat Catchers episode was being offered on Ebay.
The episode offered is not the one that turned up on a torrent site a while ago (that was 'The Unwitting Courier'). The seller says "This is the first episode entitled "Ticket to Madrid"". I'm not sure this is correct, as lostshows has the first episode as "The Captain Morales Way". This is possibly 1.3, which lostshows has as "Madrid Delivery".

The print eventually sold for £255.
The post disappeared soon, probably to give those with good intentions the chance to buy the film without too many people bidding against them. Since the bidding ended a couple of days ago, I suppose there's no harm in mentioning it again. Do we know who eventually bought the film?
Oh, and in case anyone's interested... lostshows notes that one episode exists as domestic audio, but a Mausoleum Club member has been uploading his own sound recordings of six instalments.
