[Shall I kill this line now, Doctor?]
Sometime after November 21, news here gronked bigtime. Net.tv.drwho was
one of the groups that was nuked -- it put the last 12 articles on to
oldnews, and reset the count. I'm not sure if our newsfeed is down,
but there hasn't been any new postings (with the exception of Jamie
Green's posting about David Prowse) received here after I posted about
the latest news on season 22. If there were any articles that I missed,
could you please send them to me?
(Now for something germane to this newsgroup...)
I was checking my back copies of Doctor Who Monthly for episodes found
since the publishing of the Starlog Press 20th Anniversary Special --
at that time there were 131 missing episodes. I think that the old
episodes were destroyed by accident, not by a fire. Here is a list of
the recently found episodes (with the exception of the color versions of
some Pertwee stories):
Counterplot (Dalek Master Plan 5)
Escape Switch (Dalek Master Plan 10)
The Final Test (The Celestial Toymaker 4)
(after this was found, DWM said that there were now 126 missing episodes.)
The Time Meddler 1, 3, 4
The War Machines 1, 2, 4
I believe this now makes a grand total of 120 missing episodes. If there
are any additions or corrections to this list, feel free to post. (I do
not have either of the Peter Haining books; when looking at a friend's copy
of "Doctor Who: A Celebration" I thought I noticed a list of all the episodes
and their status (color vs. b/w, production teams, etc.)
