I know for example that the 'Feast of Steven' episode of the Daleks' Masterplan is gone for good since it was only screened in the UK, was not transferred to 16mm film, and the only copy (the original videotape) was wiped. But what other cases are there where we can me almost certain that an episode/show won't be turning up again?

your starter for ten
Ace of Wands series 1 and 2
The Gay Cavalier series... all of it
Ryan International all of it
The Informer all of it
Out of the unknown series 2/3 one episode of each survive.
Out of this world (uk) one survives
The pub fighter' Rediffusion's controversial short HHH play about a pub brawl shot on colour vt, does not survive.
Judge Dee .one may survive (which is not one of the ones that were not transmitted in the first place)
The title film is believed to survive though.
..over to someone else.

The Informer - two eps exist on 16mm colour film.
Wasn't an ep of Judge Dee shown at a Kal screening a while back?
Anyhow - Not Only But Also series 3 -in colour - almost certainly never to be seen again...

Dubs. might be wrong but I think the info about The Informer turned out to be inaccurate?  ?? I think Kal showed the only existent episode of Judge Dee. Like the BBC's Counterstrike it was one of those series where they did not show all the episodes in the first place and Murphy's law prevails that these are now amongst the missing episodes.  |

Guest star, i hope you're wrong about series 1 and 2 of Ace of Wands (well, I hope everyone is proved wrong regarding this "definately lost" business, but in a nice way all the same. You won't be of course.). It was sold abroad and I hang on to the hope that some of the first 2 series will re-emerge at some point. I just wish that Network would hurry up with the dvd of series 3, that's all I can say.

"Ace of Wands" on DVD? I'd have to agree mate - great idea. It'd be nice to see it again after all these years...

One episode of "Judge Dee" definitely does survive. And all but episode one of "Ryan International" is held by the BBC on 16mm film recording... |

An obvious choice would be The Quatermass Experiment episodes 3-6.

An obvious choice would be The Quatermass Experiment episodes 3-6. It's ironic that they were never telerecorded due to poor results on the first two episodes when we'd all gladly pay for those poor result telerecordings fifty years on! |

Could, at least, the beginning and ends of episodes 3-6 of The Quatermass Experiment exist on PasB film recordings of the programmes that immediately preceeded it and followed it?
I know that, as the film recording process of that era was alleged judged to be of too low a quality to be usefully used to record episodes 3-6 of TQE it's unlikely that it was used to f/r other dramas, but was anything broadcast of enough historic significance before or after episodes 3-6, that it was f/red dispite the low quality?

Was anything broadcast of enough historic significance before or after episodes 3-6, that it was f/red despite the low quality? The BBC drama "It Is Midnight, Dr. Schweitzer" from January 1953 exists and is said to be the earliest complete telerecording of a drama. Don't forget the June 2nd, 1953 telerecording of the Coronation. Certainly, they are very good recordings. I believe it was a matter of financial considerations as much as historical considerations that determined what was recorded. I would imagine that if it was a drama of a kind, which was not considered to be particularly noteworthy, they would be tempted to use film stock of a lower quality. This would account for the variable picture quality of at least some of those telerecordings, which do exist from the early to mid-1950s. Yours, |
