anyone seen the extres on disk 2 ? are they any good? They're OK. 'Frozen Out' is passable, but the best extra is the Hartnell interview by some distance. Wonderful footage. |

Just reading the current DWM and Phil Morris says that he 'thinks TP4 is out there'.Now that is the first time that anyone other than optimistic fans have ever said that.The number of times that people on this forum have dismissed anyone who ever posted the same possibility,and here we have someone who is actively going to these dangerous countries,who hasn't lost faith,saying what many consider to be ridiculous.No disrespect to anybody,but that is a major shift in thinking.To coin a phrase that has been often said in the past year when talking about missing episodes- 'fingers crossed!'.

I'm pretty sure Phil and Paul made the call about their most desired episodes to be found on their Reign of Terror commentary. Tenth Planet 4 and Power of the Daleks 1

Singapore is really the only viable market left. If it's not there then we have to hope there's a surviving copy in the UK somewhere. Or some dupe print in Australia. |

Tenth Planet 4 and Power of the Daleks 1 From what I recall, Phil was the one that said Power. And, am I correct that the DWM article has him saying 10th is at the top of his list? Not that switching would mean anything, plenty of fans do it all the time.  (and even if it did mean anything, we wouldn't be able to deduce which one the switch implied). |

Has it ever been determined where the surviving prints of TP originated? As in, are they ex-sales copies, viewing prints, copies run off for some other reason, ...?

I don't think it's ever been determined where they came from. But it's probably a sales prints that was never sold. The prints may have been struck back in 1966/67, but which sat on the shelf unused until the embargo that had prevented Power of the Daleks being sold had been lifted at the end of 1967. Except a flood of sales didn't come, and only New Zealand was supplied with a set of prints in early 1969. The unused prints sat on the shelf... |

Have you ever been able to find paperwork requesting a) TVNZ to keep their prints for the purpose of bicycling or b) to go ahead and destroy them? I've seen paperwork requesting films be sent back to the original distributor -- NZBC even had to request the film extracts back from the censor so they could re-splice them in before sending the films back. (Not for DW mind; this was Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.) Or did TVNZ just destroy episodes because they felt that enough time had passed? One other thing: why did TVNZ not keep copies of the rejected stories potentally to be sent on, instead of sending them all the way back to London? There's nothing specific that says "Destroy these" or "Keep these". NZBC just kept the stuff after airing until instructed to do otherwise. Sometimes they held onto stuff for more than 7 years... When they had the big clean-out at the end of 1974 (when The Lion was chucked) they had to get clearance first from all the distributors - destroyed, return or bicycle. Some of that "paperwork" exists in the form of the notes in the film registers. They were very busy in September 1974, crating up A LOT of stuff to send back to America or to various countries in Africa. In the case of the rejected stories, only if instructed to send them back, they did so - if NZBC didn't need the prints, someone else did. (This is only known to be the case with Faceless Ones -- but I think that's only because the films were needed for Zambia, who was screening Macra Terror at the time. As it so happens they didn't get round to screening TFO until 1973.) |

That would require every edit to be sharp and clean to begin with, then the original edits to be undone and everything put back together with no scratches or overuse of glue, etc. I did a little bit of film editing in college, to me that seems a pretty tall order. Perhaps I underestimate the skill of whoever would have been tasked with this, but with it being a return I can't imagine that it fell to their best editor. |
