I know David A McIntee was apart of the Group I had in the late 1990s and I'm got mention in 1st book White Darkness then David gave me a character in Dark Parth though to be honest I never read it got given as present from David as well other books as David use to tell us the plot of the book and was pointless at the time.. (forget who I was now)was shocked to seen in a you tube video that he past away just 3 weeks before his 56th birthday not seen David in a while since going our separate ways he got married and finally I too move on nice little mention of his books and contributions to it in the Group I was the Doctor David was referred to as the Master. Rest in peace my old friend 😢 .

No he isn't. It's been contradicted several times. The War Chief was created by Dicks and Hulke before the Master was created by Dicks and Letts.

The didly assasin?

Honestly, I think it’s fine. The people making these are Whovains themselves, and I understand why they thought it was cool to make the connection. If you don’t like it, that’s fine too, we still have the original story to watch.

No he wasn't and it's an insult and a disgrace for the BBC to suggest otherwise

Well now James, The War Games is my very first memory of Doctor Who, as it was originally aired, here in the UK in 1969 - I've been a Doctor Who fan for rather a long time now... Your subject here is a good one (and it never gets old debating these things), you're knowledgeable, and you present your supporting evidences well and clearly. However... Actually, no - There is no however, because you're quite right; the waters have been muddied so much over the years with this writer stating this, and that producer saying that, so much so that there is no definitive answer. My own "head canon" is that the Master and the War Chief were certainly contemporaries but not the same person. Good luck with your Channel, it's coming along nicely! LLaP 🖖🙂

No he was not the Master.

You weren't even born when Who was rebooted were you? 😂

The only episodes i’d love back are Tenth Planet part 4 and episode 1 of Power Of The Daleks, the first regeneration and first post regeneration

I think all places to leave a tape have well been secured, the biggest pope, the BBC was trying to flog the very same stuff around the world, with demos and shows reels, the medai, and hope some very unistressed programmes buy the ready-out in the middle one where, was a bit of a Hordor, and just put all the free sample records in the big locker or cupbaaurd some where, and have been there ever since under a deep layer of dust?

Background music is called background music for a reason! If only the BBC could mislay the current run!

I’d love to see ‘The Space Pirates’ for a few reasons: 1. The Faceless Ones, The Evil of the Daleks, The Abominable Snowmen, The Ice Warriors, The Web of Fear, Fury From The Deep, and The Invasion have already been given proper animated reconstructions by the BBC. 2. The Wheel In Space recently got an animated reconstruction on KZbin, which is extremely high quality and deserves a watch. This leaves ‘The Space Pirates’, which hasn’t gotten a proper animated reconstruction yet. So I say that I want that one found.

Figure out how to make a video properly, this didnt tell us anything useful.

I Remember the Troughton years, that’s where it started for me. It ended in 2017, but that’s another story.

"Out of the Unknown" was screened extensively in this country (I believe), so that could also perhaps highlight possibilities of the more parallel to "Doctor Who" episodes being found amongst these tapes. Keep in mind; that the four Isaac Asimov episodes featured in series 2 and 3 were never sold abroad, so this ultimately excludes the episode where "The Mind Robber" robots appeared as being found altogether.

Would’ve been interesting to hear what you had to say, but the music was too loud. So i gave up…

I'm hoping for some of The Highlanders, the last pure historical and the introduction of Jamie McCrimmon. If only one episode to be recovered though, It would be fantastic for it to be Episode 3 of The Web of Fear

Interesting stuff James and impressive from one so young as you! I've been a Whovian right from day one (23/11/63) and I'm not a time traveller! LOL. My dad and I used to watch it together and we did record some episodes (mainly Daleks and Cybermen) on audio reel to reel tapes. I transferred some of these to cassette in the 1970's when we actually acquired our first video recorder (A Phillips VCR 1500 - massive machine with big tapes that cost £17 each for a maximum of 60 minutes recording and playing time). We did start recording DW off air then, but unfortunately the BBC in the UK were not tending to repeat the older series from the 60's then so nothing in the way of missing episodes I'm afraid. I hope (beyond hope) that some more missing episodes are discovered before I shuffle off of this mortal coil. Keep up the good work young man!

My instinct is it is a load of rubbish until proven otherwise. The background music is too loud. Can't hear you.

I've prayed in Jesus' name that missing episodes will be found 🙂 Perhaps all of them!

Honestly, I'd pretty much given up hope that any more would ever be found. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Honestly can't hear you for the background music, sorry. Edit: I found your updated version with better audio mix. THANK YOU! 🙂

With all due respect...this makes me more angry and sad as I watch the old episodes and how utterly rubbish this new lot of Who is...I haven't and won't watch. I do wish they would animate the missing episodes as they did with invasion (that assumes the audio exists).

Such a shame that 2 thirds of the Troughton era is still lost or out there undiscovered.

If ‘The Space Pirates’ or ‘The Wheel in Space’ are among these episodes that would be great as these two adventures have no animated restorations and no video releases. ‘The Highlanders’ also has no animated restoration or video release but the chances of that being one of the found stories is unlikely. Especially as it is earlier than ‘Evil of the Daleks’. Regardless if the found adventures are Space Pirates and Wheel then we would almost have Patrick Troughton’s entire run whether through video or animated restoration. Only Highlanders would remain.

Your music is way too loud and annoying. Turn it down so I can hear you.

I'd love to see Evil of the Daleks or Fury of the Deep resurface since they're some of my favorite Troughton serials. What I'd really like to see though is Wheel in Space show up just so we can have one complete season, as well as so we can have all of the 60's Cyberman stuff watchable in some form or another.

Good review thanks

Thanks

your background music is too loud to hear you over, yo may as well mime

I remember seeing Fury from the Deep when I was at School and it scared the pooh out of me. I know this was destroyed, but I really wish I could see it again. Pat Troughton was fantastic.

Music is far too loud.

The BBC, who created and then destroyed the episodes in the first place, needs to announce the fact that there are missing episodes before any airing of Doctor Who episodes. Also it needs to issue an amnesty, that anyone with any information that leads to recovering an episode will not be prosecuted. It then needs to put this information and any relevant pages of its website. It is horrible to think that many people are not aware of what the BBC did to its archive in the 70's and consequently may junk something priceless to fans of the show.

I'd like to see "The Celestial Toy Maker". The reconstruction was rubbish. PS: I doubt that it will ever turn up.

Can't hear it because of background

Episodes of Countdown being recorded interests me.

I'm not getting my hopes up, but I'd take anything at this point, especially if it completes another missing story.

your background audio is drowning you out

If BBC had never destroyed all the Doctor Who episodes from the first to the second Doctor. It will keep it and restore it. Not destroying all episodes of Doctor Who they are very valuable for their collection.

Unlike most Ive been a on the grounds missing episode (radio and TV and not just Dr Who) hunter since the 80's, though contacts in the film world Ive been though many 100's of collections in 40 years, collected many playback systems to play back older video just in case, Have had some scusesses in British comedy naturally but finding any Who has been elsive, Ive met people that claimed to have recorded Dr Who on Sony CV systems in Australia (where I live) and they always turn out to be 10 reels of old western films or some rubbish, a 3000 Umatic collection I went though was noithing but movies, every-single-tape and yet the rumor that the family kept and told everyone that would listen that he 'had all the Dr Who's', ive spooled out so much 16mm on one day my fingers blead. Now people like me who look for this stuff 'for real', now thats not boasting or anything like that, just stating the facts. Now this melbourne claim is a bit odd, from the bits people have told me is this, all the CV tapes are gone IE: no Missing Who, then people say, Oh hang on its not been cataloged yet, what? so it was thrown away and now its to be catalouged, if this was the case BBC Ents would be pouring a LOT of money into getting these catalouged, its been 9 years, seriously, so I have my doubts, next the cost of CV tape, you need one for 2 episodes, back in the 60's 70's these tapes were hidisoly expensive, I bought a machine 30 years ago from a guy and all his tapes, all 8 tapes, which he continualy reused. this deck was NOT a unit for households it was a unit for unis and medical labs and the like, the public could not afford the mashine nor the tapes, the guy that sold me his was super rich in the early 70's but the tapes were so expensinve he just reused them, which beggs the question, how does this 'hourder' record dr who every day on tape and then keep that tape. was he a milionaire? because he would have had to be. I could go on for pages like this but am now bored.

The music is far too loud. I can't make out what you are saying. Less than a minute in and I am out. Bye.

I always think it's a shame that Bob Monkhouse wasn't a Doctor Who fan.

I'm even happy when we get animated reconstructions. They aren't *as* good. But they still give us a chance to see something we thought was lost forever.

almost all speculation = waste of time

I can't really hear you over the music.

Maybe, possible ,could it be l, let's hope so
