I rember when the SUN was giving out these old dr who episodes like in CD covers like, Daleks master plan episode 1, faceless ones episode 1, and spearhead in space episode 1. But I dont have them anymore :( Ive been looking for ages for them no episodes found
There is a guy in Preston called Darren who Im told has one missing episoe. Some people tell me its Invasion 1 with no sound and others tell me it's Space Pirates. I was given his number by the guy in the sci-fi shop in Blackpool who said Darren took a film reel to him and tried to sell it him. He turned it down! I have called the number but he says he has nothing and hangs up. if you want to try its 07425 426715.
LOL I can understand Ian Levine's anger but I do find it fucking hilarious watching him clench his fists and getting angry. It's funny coz his face dosen't look even slightly angry. What would he do in a fight anyway? Sit on Roger K Barrett? He was actually proved wrong about no more episodes turning up. In a documentary that was shown many many years ago he said no more would turn up. Well...
Well the only Episode out their that really dose not exist it Episode 7 of the daleks master plan as it was a Christmas episode it was deemed un-sellable at the time and a 16mm tr wasn’t even made and the original videotape was wiped leavening no copies whatsoever. I think there are others out there still to find but most likely there in the hands of collectors who won’t give them to the BBC.
I recently saw a documentry about bob monkhouse, he had quite a large collection of video archive stored in his garden shed, episodes from shows thought long since lost from the bbc that he worked on, he once worked with william hartnell! Maybe he had some lost episodes of Doctor who, you just never know, anyone else thought that?
Well two episodes have been found, but let's face it four episodes since the year 1993 is not brilliant. I think it's going to be a long slow process in finding all there is to find. Maybe one day the BBC will hold the entire 60's doctor who in their archives, albeit about half of the episodes animated. I doubt they r all gunna turn up.
You can't really blame the BBC guys. Go back to 2000 and tell people what we have now, they'd sneer at you. No one back then foresaw what we have today.
If I had a TARDIS, probably the first thing I'd do is get the missing episodes from the BBC. Plus, me taking them from the BBC archives would explain why they're missing in the first place so it'd be a self fulfilling paradox.
A certain Roger K Barrett does - or did - exist. He was none other than Roger Keith Barrett (1946-2006) better known as Syd Barrett, founder member of Pink Floyd and the eponymous 'Crazy Diamond' of one of Pink Floyd's finest songs.
Curiously, Mr Barrett disappeared from the scene in the mid-1970s - at about the same time as the final instalment of Tenth Planet itself – and both proved to be equally elusive thereafter.
0:31 to 0:49 it's very sad aboult doctor who as the fith doctor says that they are falling away from him.matt smith's doctor should say something aboul that too.
and apparently some of these film cans may be mis-labeled as other TV proggrammes. or some may just be in other countries after being sold to TV companies in other countries and then being circulated to a whole load of other countries. the sixth episode of Frontier in Space was recovered and retured with a lot of staps from other countries on it. and apprently there is a big tv companie in canada with a big uncatalogued hangar, but nobody ever replies to letters from the BBC its very sad.
wonder why they dont just search through the whole of the bbc for the missing episodes. it could be hidden in a cupboard somewhere. but even if they cant do that, they should at least search every row of tape, every cupboard, every nook and cranny in the archives, even if it isnt in the science fiction section or whatever section doctor who is deemed to be in it could have gotten mixed up by accident and is still in the bbc's possesion
You're so right! I didn't pay attention to that dude's raggy clothing. But the doors (to the Saucer, I assume) look like they are recycled from the city set. :)
I think we should all be VERY thankful to the people who made off air audio recordings of the episodes on transmission. Without these they wouldn't exist at all.
right, im searching my attic! i REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to recover the tenth planet! i saw the first three parts and i want to see the last. i love classic episodes... and im only 10!
BTW google crossingthewhoniverse to see all dr who episodes, free!
never realised this was an 'infamous' mini-series. I remember watching this and recorded it when it was first aired in 1993. Made me sad and angry to learn about it as a child. Especailly being a huge troughton fan. Before the internet i was unaware so many were lost. I didn't know there were episodes i hadn't seen. To learn so many were 'DO NOT EXIST' just didnt make sense to me as a kid! THEY MUST BE OUT THERE!!!
@17Elemental I agree. When the archives were first checked in the 1970's, there were around 40 more episodes missing than there are now. An average of 1 year, at this point. Looking at the current state of the DW archives, the episodes probably won't all turn up until 2118 AT BEST. But 40 is good, for a start, anyway. As you said, we must find as many as we can.
I'm a DW fan but I think its over the top that some people dedicate their lives to finding the missing episodes. What will they say after 20 minutes of watching the tenth planet part 4? "Oh, so that's what happened"? They could have spent all these years having a real life!
@TheImperialElite73 I agree with you, but we'd have to search both BBC and ITV, and I'm not even going to go into how many programmes we'd have to look through, not to mention all the episodes! :|
I think that maybe around 50 to 60% of the missing episodes do still exist in one form or another, most of them are probably buried somewhere in the television archives of foreign countries such as Zimbabwe, which broadcast all 7 episodes of Marco Polo as recently as 1975.
@TashkentFox you do also have to take in account of all the die hard fans that record the episodes and just have them packed away and collectors that are dead ect. we have them but we dont know we have them
@justgaming107 Nah, not possible, domestic video recorders were VERY primitive and prohibitively expensive when the missing episodes of Doctor Who were broadcast.

There have been other shows which showed Doctor Who so if we could find all them and search through... never give up hope!
