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." 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." Wikipedia is wrong. 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. Uh... Am I missing something? That statement doesn't even refer to original cans or labels! That statement is correct. |

Given this situation, explain how this is the case. I'd really like to hear. Seeing as this person is playing god it would seem. I will answer when they cough up ! The real answer is that sitting on the fence means being pleasantly surprised if something turns up, and not being disappointed if something doesn't. Simples! |

Trouble with sitting on the fence is you get splinters in your arse. Given this situation, explain how this is the case. I'd really like to hear. |

I think this CGI/Copyright/Whole thing is getting a bit fantasist now...! Sorry double post. Luckily I copyrighted the first post and I will now sue myself a make a mint .......... Its clear there is something going on. We have two sides on here. The yeah's and the neah's. Each must make their own mind up ! Tho i must say that when the last two came back the neah's were very QUIET LOL Not "yeah's and neah's". It's called being neutral. Some people can't handle that concept though. That was Ian Levine. Not the BBC.
Actually it was Blue Peter, but point taken (although they do sort of count as the BBC, don't they?)
No it was Ian Levine. Blue Peter was just a vehicle for advertising it. |

The current BBC charter does not allow them to pay for returned material. It expires on December 31, 2016 That will be why the reward fee was a Dalek prop then. They can't hand over money, but they can hand over goods with an appropriate value (look at the values some of these screen used props get in those auctions that go on). That was Ian Levine. Not the BBC. |

Hopefully they at least give the finder a free copy of the DVD once they press it.  It would be sad to see someone go through all of that trouble and then have to pay the $25 to get a copy. LOL!!! I get what you are all saying...I really do. It just seems that if there was a small reward added for "finding" the episodes then a lot more of them would be found. The idea that something might be a little valuable gets people looking. Heh...maybe they should stage an episode of antique hunters to find one in a basement and have the appraiser on the show say it is worth $10,000. Or better yet pawn stars. People have been given digital copies and the original film back, which could then be sold on Ebay for a grand or so. That's more or less it. No need to offer cash. If you have a campaign about missing episodes, if someone has some film cans lying about/recall seeing some/heard a relative has some etc., the average person will look and drop the BBC or whoever an email. It's only natural to check if you have something. I can't see what cash is going to do. The only people I can see if affecting are hoarders, but we don't have any evidence that such people exist with any missing DW. All returns have been from people who didn't realise what they had was missing, and without too much trouble lending it in to be copied. I really don't think cash will have any effect. |

Well there you go. Your guessing there not ! I'm not guessing at all. I know what I am saying to be fact. No-one knows. That's the only thing you can tell people with any certainty. It's always been like that and always will! You might be right in the end. Then again you might not. |

But it's self-defeating. If lots of people thought "I'll wait for the SE", hardly anyone would buy the initial release, the BBC would perceive there to be no demand for the story, and your SE would never happen. So I wouldn't be at all confident of a rerelease, given that scenario. If you have it downloaded to dvd whats the incentive to buy ? fancy cover ? As evidenced by EOTW, the picture will be sharper. |

How do you know for sure? Well, intuition ! Common sense. Of all the eps Enemy 6. Its like saying i can match you. Whats your next hand ! I guess we will see very soon at this rate  If you tell yourself something enough, you'll make it true in your eyes. Ian is clearly taking this opportunity to show PM that he is being open and telling people ASAP, rather than holding things back. Ian has said that, and the 9 episodes released in October were held back by PM. That is very clear and all we know. Any more is just a hypothetical situation. |

You can't be "sure" unless you of course have seen stuff from there that hasn't been put on the table yet However, another point to bear in mind when considering the origin of them, is that, the Aussies weren't as likely to copy what was essentially kids tv, for troops to watch. They'd have realistically copied something a bit more age fitting. Unless of course the Aussies were sending kids off to war. Sci-fi is for all ages. And seeing as no one can say it is impossible, it could therefore be possible Going from 'sure' to 'it could be possible'. They both suggest very different things. |

I hope not. The last thing we need is some enthusiastic, yet misguided, fans spearheading a sudden increase in shovel sales. ...  |

When the archive was audited in 1978, all bar 2 Pertwee episodes were tracked down from within the BBC. The original negs for the Mind of Evil exist at the BBC and always have done. I really don't understand what you're getting at. It was timing, honest! But they didn't exist on their original broadcast format. The majority were 16mm black and white film copies! Only 55 out of the 128 Pertwee episodes existed on 2" videotape. The 4 episodes of Spearhead from Space only survived because they had been filmed in 16mm colour (presumably the original broadcast version would have been a 2" Quad copy of the final edit?) The other 69 recovered episodes have all been dubs! And, of course, NO original broadcast versions exist for Troughton or Hartnell... I know... but we're talking about the possibility of them being lost forever. Whether it's broadcast copy or a sales print is irrelevant, as you imply by mentioning the lack of transmission copy for Hartnell and Troughton... ...But of course some 60s episodes DO exist on their original broadcast format, being in the form of 35mm telerecordings. + Spearhead would have been broadcast from film. No need to transfer to tape. After all, how do you think foreign broadcasters broadcasted their film prints of episodes? |

They had to re colourise a number of Pertwee serials. A couple of colour prints turned up but if the Pertwee era was made in black and white I am sure that a number of those serials would be missing. The Mind of Evil springs to mind as one story that would be missing today if the Pertwee era was made in black and white. I don't think any colour copies have been found. When the archive was audited in 1978, all bar 2 Pertwee episodes were tracked down from within the BBC. The original negs for the Mind of Evil exist at the BBC and always have done. I really don't understand what you're getting at. It was timing, honest! |
