Re: Two More Lost Doctor Who Episodes Found!

Great news! I was thinking recently if any more were waiting to be found.

The last few have been found by collectors rather then being returned by TV companies around the world.

Two More Lost Doctor Who Episodes Found!

The BBC has confirmed that two episodes of Doctor Who from the mid sixties which were believed to be lost forever have been recovered. The third episode of the William Hartnell story Galaxy Four and the second episode of the Patrick Troughton story The Underwater Menace were discovered in the private collection of a retired engineer who bought the film cans at a school fete in the 1980s but did not realize until recently that they were episodes not held in the BBC archives. The episodes are currently being restored with a view to a DVD release sometime next year. This brings the total number of Doctor Who episodes still missing down to 106! The Underwater Menace part two is now the earliest known surviving Patrick Troughton episode.

Re: Doctor Who is 48 Today!

I hope that's true, it's been a few years since any episode have been found.

It's been confirmed. There's expected to be an announcement about a DVD release next year.

I never knew there was so much to Dr Who.......when I was a kid I wasn't allowed to watch it incase it was too scarey so over the years I never got into the programme.

Re: Doctor Who is 48 Today!

the master saving the dr that would have been good.
but if that episode had happened they could have reincarnated him as he is a timelord all be it a bad one.

I don't think they were thinking in those terms at the time. Delgado asked to be written out basically because he was a semi-regular getting one or two stories a year but casting directors assumed he was under permanent contract to Doctor Who and so weren't offering him other work. I guess Barry Letts assumed any actor taking the role would have the same problem.

Two appearances with David Tennant, bringing his running total of televised stories up to 22. The strange thing is, if Roger Delgado haden't died when he did, the Master would never have outlived him as he has; at the time of Delgado's death, they were planning a 'final' Master story in which he'd have died saving the Doctor!

Re: Doctor Who is 48 Today!

just heard the rutans will be back in the gunpowder plot.
the last time we seen them was in horror of fang rock in 1977/78 with tom baker.
Rutans can adopt many different forms but in their natural state possess a greenish jelly-fish quality.
they are swoen enemies of the sontarans.

Re: Doctor Who is 48 Today!

The Master was actually in only eight out of 24 Pertwee stories, five of them in one season. But he fought Peter Davison not twice but five times: Castrovalva, Time Flight, The King's Demons, The Five Doctors and Planet of Fire. By that time though, he was played by Anthony Ainley; Roger Delgado died in 1973. Ainley's Master also contested with Tom Baker, Colin baker (twice) and Sylvester McCoy. Geoffrey Beevers and Peter Pratt both played the Master during the Tom Baker era, too.

thats why it seemed the master was in so many pertwee stories as five of them where in the same season and ive seen that whole season.
never realised roger died so long ago.

forgot the master was in so many of peter davisons stories i have seen all those the master was in in davisons era other than the five doctors.
