Supposedly, many of the orphan eps came from a crate Australia returned in June 75. This would presumably include the orphaned EOTD 2. However, a jpg of that can with its original label can be seen here, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Missing_Doctor_Who_2.JPGIirc it was said that the Nigerian prints returned recently were readily identifiable as coming from HK as they had the relavant labelling. However, the labelling on the above jpg doesn't seem to indicate it has an Australian origin, or am I missing something there ? |

That's not the original label for Evil 2.

That's not the original label for Evil 2. According to the wikipedia entry though, it says it is "A film canister containing the only surviving episode of the 1967 Doctor Who serial The Evil of the Daleks." |

Can't remember the entire story but the can was found without a label and the owner was given a BBC label to use.

It's a fake contemporary-style label created by Gordon Hendry who owns the print. He not only told me this himself, but also gave me one of the blanks he created at the time. |

Just curious, where did Mr Hendry get the print? |

Car boot sale in December 1983 for 8 quid each.
However given the large time span from their likely junking to their sale (5-8 years if these are the Australian copies), I find it very unlikely that other episodes didn't get sold at filmfairs/car boots in the intervening years.
Obviously, we only know of the episodes that people have been kind enough to buy then give back. And nothing at all about the episodes that others have bought and kept to themselves.

Had it been I-some chance-once I'd bought the films I'd ask "Any more like these at home?".At the worst,you get the disheartening news that "I had about a dozen,a feller bought the rest about an hour ago."

2 RoT missing eps were purchased on different days at different film fairs in the 80's too.

I attended only one film fair,at Leeds in the early 80s.My opening line "Doctor Who film prints were stolen from the BBC years ago,and they're trying to identify the people we've got 'em" produced no results.
