Such a pity this episode is lost forever (hopefully in some foreign land so we can retrieve :D) Thanks for uploading and that photo of Salamandar attacking the Doctor is amazing! :D xxxx
all the 108 episodes were either magnetically wiped , thrown away by the skipful or burnt by the bbc. But as you can see many people are interested in producing excellent recons of these missing episodes, as you have just seen, together they should be able to restore all the classic doctor who stories.
Well, that ending was TERRIFYING. Awesome. And the Doctor very calmly explaining to Salamander that he was going to throw him to the mercy of a mob was quite menacing, the Trout did a lovely job. With all of it.
I think that was the idea, especially episode 2 or 3 is it, where Jamie and Victoria go in incognito and Jamie crashes in from the roof or something. Remember this was in Bond's heydey w/Connery, Dr. No, Goldfinger and all those goodies so it makes sense they tried to do this sort've story in the middle of the awesome S5!
I'm assuming the button they hit in the fight also put the TARDIS in flight, as well as opening the doors (even though they never mention such a button, lol).
Yeah thats what i assume too. BBC needs to release all eps of the old dr. whos on dvd ALL OF EM and for only 50 to 100 dollars as a SORRY FOR LOOSING alot of the eps in a fire:)apology...
I really Have no idea. I read somewhere that they were lost in a fire and read somewhere else that they just didn't think there would be much call for reruns and taped over them.
The latter would be my guess. Living as I do in a Baltimore suburb I've heard of Buddy Dean who actually started The American Bandstand. Most people who aren't from Maryland (Baltimore even) never have because of the stations racist policies towards negroes. Clark, in Philly, got famous because his network went along with the integrationist policy. Matters were made worse, as the station, thought there would be no need for Buddy Deans Show and taped over most films.
Dialogue in the next episode (recently uploaded by ParanormRUs) explains what happens. Salamader pressed the take-off switch while the doors were still open. In other words, pressing the switch didn't open the doors - they were already open.
It's a bit worrying that the TARDIS doesn't have safety measures against that sort of thing, but that's the TARDIS for you!

A fire got them. You sure the BBC didn't tape over'em like American networks did back then.
