  1. Episodes 1 and 3 of The Daleks’ Master Plan from 1965 which were some of the least likely episodes to be found as that story was never sold internationally. Incredible that 60 years later missing episodes are still being recovered

  2. “My flabber has never been so gasted.”

    That’s a good one, I’m pocketing that for future usage.

  3. The work Film is Fabulous are doing is incredible. I’ve no doubt they will preserve a great deal more (not just for Doctor Who).

  4. Great news, hopefully one day the remainder surfaces!

    “But the “dark and gritty” 12-part storyline was ordered to be wiped, and more than half of it remains missing.”

    Such a bizarre decision.

    For anyone who wants context on how much is still missing, roughly 97 episodes of classic Doctor Who remain unaccounted for out of the 253 that were wiped.

    Im only a casual watcher of Dr Who and come and go over the years, but it’s truly a delight whenever lost materials are found. It’s like one more piece of a very old puzzle.

    It’s always the ones you most suspect.
