I hadn't quite heard the story that way.

I don't know - none of it makes much sense, really.

I think we just have to assume that PM would have told us if all hopes of Web 3 being recovered were lost.

The very fact that no news of a WOF Special Edition DVD release has even being mentioned, mooted, planned or released prior to any animations of other stories is to me a strong indicator that PM is still in negotiation with the individual(s) who took episode 3,and that there is a good chance it will be returned. Animating a single episode wouldn't be hard and put the story to bed but that hasn't and that makes me very hopeful that PM is as he has always said that 'he's on top of the situation ' as far as getting it back is concerned.

Well, this post didn't age well ...

Nic,it ain't over till the fat lady sings...
Philip Morris has always said that the animation is a BBC business decision and nothing to do with the status of the real missing WOF episode 3.We still have to allow this particular cheese to mature.Gorgonzola obviously...(which you must try as it's absolutely delicious!).
Probably.

Well, another year goes by.

This is also the time when I religiously re-watch Enemy of the World and Web of Fear, and try not to think too nasty thoughts about whoever has WoF part 3.

Anyway, I wish everyone a very happy Christmas, or whatever it is that gets celebrated on whichever planet you currently inhabit (we have to be *so* careful these days), and continued hope that the next time I bump this message up the bulletin board that we have something more to celebrate.

All the best

Richard

Merry Christmas to everyone here.

Yes, let's hope that this particular New Year delivers some Doctor Who ME finds. The timing would be good! I can't say I'm optimistic, although previous pronouncements by Paul and Phil mean that I'm willing to believe that some missing episodes remain in private hands. Whether we'll ever get to see them is another matter entirely.

Merry Christmas to you all on here in advance of the big day!

Recoveries would be the best thing ever, but realistically I hope that we can get more animations now that there is money coming in from Disney for the streaming rights outside of the UK.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the hard work that the team have put into those releases.

Have a great festive break everyone!

The animations resumed

Is that a wish or info hot off the press?

[markperry]

It's a very big Christmas Wish john, I mean that's what the title of the thread asked.

[Richard Develyn]

I'm a bit late bumping this one to the top this year!

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Yep, and in the words of Dave Allen ‘May your god go with you”.

[Ace St.John]

My Christmas wish would be for a recovery of either a cyberman episode or a dalek episode. Or even further improvement on The Daleks with a stored field upgrade or otherwise

[lousingh]

I could live with more animations. If nothing else, I hope that the BBC put the Loose Cannon recons on BritBox.

(apologies Eartha Kitt)
(and others)

Santa Baby, just slip me Web of Fear part three, for me,
been an awful good boy. Santa baby,
so hurry back with Moonbase tonight.

Santa Baby, The Underwater Menace part two,
was good,
where's the rest of it dear?
Santa baby, complete one from that season tonight.

Think of all the stories I've missed,
I know we've got some back but it's a massive list.
Next year it could be just as good.
if you'll just tell me a few more exist

Santa baby, I want the lot
of Snowmen not just what I've got.
Watched part two all year.
Santa baby, so hurry with the yeti tonight.

Santa honey, one little thing I really need:
part three,
and one and four and five and six.
Santa baby, the pirates and the spaceships tonight.

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with the Daleks.
Just check:
twenty two lost in time.
Santa cutie, I want the human factor tonight.

Come and trim the gaps I see
in all those stories made before '73.
I really do believe you could.
Please don't tell me that you're Gregory

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
the rest,
in case they're feeling alone.
Santa baby, complete my whole collection tonight

Complete my whole collection tonight
Hurry, tonight.

Richard

Finally, a good reason for resurrecting an old thread. Never seen this before - brilliant, sir!
