Doctor Who Lost Episodes Rumor Resurfaces Again

[johnmiic]

They are claiming this is the real deal-again. Has this been verified or is it still too soon? Article tades Oct 6th, 2013

"The Sunday People can exclusively reveal that 106 BBC programmes have been unearthed featuring the first two doctors."

OK. Take it with a grain of SALT but Bleeding Cool News is saying they have confirmation missing episodes have been found:

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/10/06/those-doctor-who-missing-episodes-will-we-find-out-this-week/

"UPDATE: BBC Worldwide have called a press conference on Tuesday. As of now, Bleeding Cool has not been invited."

As I was writing this piece, The Radio Times made it official. Missing Doctor Who episodes, originating from the Patrick Troughton era have been discovered, and will be made available digitally this week. I have been told to expect they are from Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear." So just the 2 or were there more aired in between as well?

Missing episodes don't blow my skirt up unless they are complete stories or they complete stories ie Tenth Planet #4

But, it would be interesting what they find

thanks for the news John

[Bruce Banner]

It's always good news when missing episodes are found.

Still hoping The Power of the Daleks might be unearthed in its entirety some day.

[Gorn Captain]

Belgian news said the same: 106 eps found in Ethiopia, all from the Hartnell-Troughton era.
Official announcement tomorrow?

Don't you just love Ethopia now?

[Mikey]

Isn't Ethiopia the country were all the Indian Ocean pirates hang out ?

Dr Who Restoration Team claims "I love it to be true, but it isn't"

[palitoy]

BBC is holding a press conference tomorrow. The original article is misleading, Ethiopia only received 77 episodes to begin with but there is a chance that if those were found, some of them would be missing stores.

Anything is a win though, here's hoping.

I love Doctor Who, but i'm not at a high enough geek level to know. So does someone want to tell me what is actually still missing, yet to be found? Is there a site with the list.

And here's the Radio Times article for those of you who haven't read it.

[Mikey]

They're mostly talking about the 2 lost episodes found earlier

I think some people are confusing them with the supposed motherload find

[Gorn Captain]

Pretty confusing news, that's for sure.
If the restoration team says "no way", I would tend to believe them.
