Call me crazy but, prior to the announcement of Enemy & Web, was there not some version of the omni-rumour specifying that, of the then 106 missing episodes, that 94 of them had been found? What are the odds that the BBC knew this and coordinated the 50th anniversary special to coincide with the number of missing episodes found? What would be the logistics involved?

Thanks!

Why would they do that?

I don't know. I'll happily call you crazy though.

Im quite sure they would have turned down another country wanting to join the broadcast JUST to add another "clue"(aka a COINCIDENCE) for conspiracy theorists to find and turn into EVIDENCE that more episodes have been found.
crazy sums it up

My giddy aunt! He's cracked the code! Cue : shower of 16mm tickertape falling from the sky! Balloons & streamers for all. Grab the champagne and boot up iTunes. Unfortunately New Caledonia and Vanuatu wete unable to broadcast the 50th in order to come up with the code but 94 episodes!!!

I'm sure in the count, they forgot Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. So there you are ...
