...it was filmed in full colour on videotape gives it a resonance which is missing from from filmed series...! I know these things are subjective, but really?!

This is from last year. Don't think it needs to be dug up again as nothing has ever come of it.

What ever happened to Qurios? They could of done a web and gone cheap ! But nothing !!!! This only leads people to speculate further, and so its self defeating ! Or do they want the rumour mill hot for when something is ready ? Fed up with all this rain as well lol There are a lot of different people involved and they all do other things. I hardly think the reaction to this is on their minds.

Should we read anything into the two recent ebay sales - has the publicity around the Philip Morris finds triggered a rummage around collectors' storage cabinets? Ok so the sales are of episodes already held by the BBC and one of the collectors commented on that fact in the advert, but maybe, just maybe, someone will rummage around and come up with an episode that is not currently present and correct... Film copies occasionally turn up from time to time and I can't see any irregular pattern here (if there is one at all), so I'd say no.

I've always taken an open stance to it, so I'm in no need to 'admit' anything to myself.

Answer to the first question is no. Unless someone turns the episodes up we're never likely to know. Since we don't have any actual evidence that anyone has, all sorts of theories and ideas are just as plausible as the next. It's a case of Schrodinger's Cat.
The second question: I hope has them as I'm sure we all do, but my hope comes without expectation - if nothing else turns up I won't be disappointed. If you can do that then fine. If not, then yes, it is wayyy too much to hope for!

This is all rather considered and nicely written... but... So for those of us who are patient supporters of the quest for Missing Episodes, let 's have some firm words of encouragement please from the stakeholders. What makes you think that there is anything encouraging to say? Even if there was, you're not going to get the response you want when you want if any at all.

to introduce tele - snap recons to a wider audience I agree with Rob. Very, very specialist and not of interest to most people at all no matter how you try and dress it up.

Hmm. There's a definite drop in quality as far as I can see.

Oh no, I should have made myself clearer. By 'choppy' I meant film jitter and instability.

Just a curiosity... I bought both serials on iTunes. Enemy was generally consistent, with episode 4 looking a little soft but otherwise all episodes were good and stable. Web looked all a bit choppy throughout all episodes. I did hear something about the Web episodes having a little extra work on them before the DVD release. Is this the case?

Yes he did save loads, But someone has come along willing to get off their arse and go there themselves and do the job properly. That is an unfair argument. Consider the cost. Consider the political sensitivities. Consider safety. Consider that we knew far less than we do now. If you ring/telex a station asking if they have x, and they co-operate and send material back and they say there's no more, what do you say? You're glad to have what is being sent back and move on to the next. You can't be told that there's no more, then go to the expense of going there saying 'I don't believe you'. I don't condone how the man has handled this matter of late, but this idea that Ian Levine did a half arsed job by not going to the archives in person is ludicrous. It is a great disservice and is out of touch with the way things were back then. Why not lump Sue Malden and all the other episode hunters in with Ian?

The film is 80 years old and nitrate stock according to Radio 4, thought lost forever and looks a real gem. Wonder if it will be available on iTunes? Lot of hope for more Who episodes which are a comparatively youthful 50 years. Fantastic. Why does it give a lot more hope? Something like the original BBC enterprise documents turning up and showing more sales than we thought... that would give more hope. All this proves is that a copy of this particular film existed all along! It doesn't change anything as far as Doctor Who is concerned.

If someone is going to tackle a full episode like dino 1, a hd original should be supplied tothem so the results could be used in a future dvd I'm very thankful moe was done. I would love to work on part 1 of dinosaurs(even though it would take a long time,due to getting the colours to match the colour tapes of the later ones).but then again it could be quick for three people to colourise it like me,Richard tipple and justin Watson working on different shots. I have pity for Stuart doing part 1 of mind of evil on his own so I think he needs a break for a while. In terms of consistency any amateur attempt split between different people isn't going to cut it.
