Can I suggest you read Richard Molesworth's fantastic Wiped book, which will give you the actual facts. Everything you've posted is inaccurate in some way, so for the sake of all of us, please read the book.

No probs Rob, mostly just asking questions. Had a bit of a look but haven't been able to find anywhere in australia that sells it. I'm no expert at this Internet thingy either lol. Would I be able to obtain a copy through a site such as Timelash, or maybe try the Aussie Dr Who Fan Club? Not a member of any clubs etc. (except for this forum- perhaps) Hence my annoying Questions I spose lol. Sounds like an interesting read, haven't bought a dr who related book for years (probably coz I hate reading lol) thanks for the advice, And sorry for being a pain in the arse  |

Difficult to express this without gestures,but
Arnold Bennett enthusiasts,for instance would view recordings of Bennet's Old Wives' Tale as primarily an Arnold Bennet artifact,rather than a TV one.
Recents finds seem to follow the indirect or non-obvious route with Kipling episodes held by Kipling enthusiasts,while Hughie Greene sent a copy of Double Your Money to the U.S.(was it to Johnny Carson) to try to sell it,and it was found in the archive dedicated to the recipient.
God knows how you'd follow this up,but I've just remembered that the Potteries library in Hanly hold a TV (I think) documentary about Clarriss Cliff.I doubt if it's lost.
I wonder if The Lion-the long lost Hartnell episode-sat on a shelf for decades because everyone figured it was a natural-history documentary?

I'm sure that one or two more episodes will turn up in the hands of private collectors who simply don't know the value of what they have, or will be re-discovered by others who come into new ownership of such material. It's amazing how with such stated confidence you dropped a hint there and nobody seems to have caught it at the time! Well done for that. |

Does anyone think this will be mentoined on bbc news? I'd imagine so, even if it is an "And finally..." kinda news segment at the end, as it's remarkable for one, let alone two, episodes to turn up! Given the high-profile of the show, and the Christmas special round the corner (although this is FAR more exciting!), I'd be surprised if they didn't! |

Hughie Green sent it to Ed Sullivan, and it was in the files of his papers given to a Library in Wisconsin. That was one of mine! ;D |

It was in the main headlines on BBC Breakfast on BBC1 at 6:30 this morning so it could be on again tonight if it's a slow news day.
Well done to all concerned regarding this and I look forward to reading a detailed account of how the recoveries came about. This, and the fantastic news about The Jean Genie, prompted me to register after years of lurking.

I'm still new to this.Congratulations to Ray Langstone re Hughie Green.
I'm interested in American comics (comicbooks) so I've read up on the campaign against them in the 1950s.Not only are there a few copies of Captain Marvel comics in one of the archives,but the National Union of Teachers had a roadshow on the subject and I believe they still have a collection,
I was wondering if any former teachers/organisations were likely to have the historical Whos?
Given the worthy subject matter-Hugenot massacres,Marco Polo,etc.-it seems the sort of thing an enterprising teacher might have organised.I suspect this has been investigated?
Is it worth chasing up the missing episodes under their more innocuous episode titles in case
someone's got these on the shelf as educational films,and therefore unwatched.
Might "The Smugglers have been of interest to local history enthusiasts because of location filming?
Tell me if this is another granny sucking eggs scenario,It's inspired in part by some of this year's discoveries (In Town Tonight and the footage in local history/university archives).
Has anyone surveyed how much of the country's audio/visual holdings outside the main TV companies' is catalogued?

I meant to say "how much is uncatalogued'?
