BBC Rumored To Have Found Huge Stash Of Thought-Lost Doctor Who

[palitoy]

It would be nice but I have to see it to believe it.

Doctor Who and BS rumours are sadly too frequent.

I do hope this one is true, love to see some new serials.

Me too, especially some Troughton's

I'm just thinking it seems too convenient for this to happen on the 50th anniversary

That is a good point.

I'll believe it when I see the DVD in my hot little hands.

I read the original article the other day over at Bleeding Cool. I was going to mention this if nobody else brought it up.

Since Rich Johnston at BC has both of his sources telling him the same thing, I hope this turns out to be true. But we fans have been burned before.

[LadyZod]

Perhaps they've had them for a while, and have been cleaning them up and like Lucas did with Star Wars just waiting to release the "lost footage" on an anniversary.

[B-Lister]

I Bet if they offered money for the return of episodes, people from all over the world would check their parents attics for them.

You used to get a full sized Dalek for returning a lost episode.

Doctor Who Bulletin magazine had reported there were episodes to be recovered in Africa back in the `80's but never had a follow-up on the lead as far as I know.

It's possible someone was sitting on them and then they died and the inheritors are offering them finally. Or they held onto them to make a splash during an anniversay year while the show was on again. Or it could just be another dumb hoax. but i would love to finally get to see some new old Who. You know it was shown over bin Iraq and Iran in the days back then, what if someone over there had them and wanted to sell them for weapons? should we buy them?

I always thought when i first heard there were episodes missing, if i only had money to go hunting for them around the world to the old stations that played them back in the 60's and see if i could track some down from employees who may have taken foriegn ones home. if only. i would have gone to Africa.

If true it will be amazing but I will hold my enthuisiams until BBC puts a note on the website I am going to play it low key too many times I have fallen for a hoax

If Ian Levine is to be believed (and he is a reliable source) the find is real, and cuts the number of missing episodes from 106 to 16.

HOLEY CARP! I'm far more optimistic about this now! I trust Ian Levine a great deal.

[B-Lister]

If he's convinced, I'm convinced.

90 episodes, wow! Rumor has it this find will complete Troughton's Doctor.

[ShadowAvenger]

Bad news at Noooo! Those reports of recovered Doctor Who episodes were a hoax.

[Mikey]

Weird, i'm not let down because I just knew it couldn't be true
