Phil Morris said that when he pulled the film cans down off the shelf, that episode 3 just wasn't there. No bargaining chip, no decayed print, just no print at all. I think the other two "explanations" were just fan fantasy. Let's face it, after all this time, it's far more likely to discover incomplete stories than complete ones. We're just darn lucky that out of 10 consecutive episodes that nine of them were found all in the same place. |

I am really looking forward to hearing his story...I imagine it had to be quite an adventure, and a little bit dangerous. |

| The Radio Times has whipped up 60s-style movie posters for "Enemy" and "Web" that are pretty cool:

| There is a rumour posted on another website about 'The Wheel in Space' being found in Nigeria by Phil Morris. Supposedly, three episodes have been recovered, but are held up in customs.
Quoting from the article, "If any rumour can be described as being more likely than another, this one would be classed as so." |

| The latest buzz is that there may be a announcement during the "afterparty" for 'Day of the Doctor' on the 23rd regarding missing episodes. |

| There is a report this morning that Ian Levine has found some episodes of Doctor Who in Taiwan. The episodes he found weren't missing, but it proves there might still be episodes out there to find. He found two episodes of 'The Dominators', two episodes of 'The War Games', and one episode of 'The Seeds of Death'. The article doesn't specify which episodes of those stories he found or if the quality is better than what is already in the archive.

| Weird question, does anyone know the current state of the missing episode rumors? I've tried looking on GB and man, it is a scary place right now! Hard to figure out what's going on.
Wasn't something supposed to be announced at the BFI?
thanks! |

| Enemy of the World and Web of Fear are found (minus episode 3 of Web which is getting replaced with a telesnap recon). Early in 2014 we're supposed to get Enemy of the World (no special features) on DVD and then Web of Fear later in 2014 (with special features). Some are also hoping the extra time for Web also means animated episode 3, but that's not been confirmed.
Any talk of Marco Polo or The Macra Terror being next up "found" are rumors started by people who know people who say they know people. More discoveries have not been ruled out, but no official announcement of anything new. |

Thanks, it was the Marco Polo thing I had sort of heard. Something about thousands of returned film canisters that needed to go through as well? |

From reading Doctor Who Magazine it sounded like the first batch were sitting on a shelf in Africa and he picked them up. And only them. He may also be attempting to get other TV station's libraries dumped in a big pile and then sorted to look for gems. But from the sound of things getting into these central African countries with all the civil wars going on doesn't sound like someplace where you can drive out with a tractor trailer full of old film cans. I'm sure there could be thousands of cans to look through somewhere but I don't think we're waiting on a particular pile of cans at this point. |

| ATTENTION: Absolutely NOTHING has been confirmed but put down your tea and lean-in, Kasterborites. The Omnirumour has sprouted another Kroll-like tentacle. (Or rather lengthened a pre-existing one. Read on…)
Legendary Doctor Who convention, Gallifrey One took place last weekend and featured a panel discussion on the on-going search for missing 60s episodes… Nerdist has reported welcome comments from Restoration Team founding member Steve Roberts at the panel. This included quoting a letter from Philip Morris, the man responsible for returning 1967s The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear to the BBC…
…The letter said that the remainder of a large haul of discovered film prints of vintage television shows that had been discovered in Nigeria were still being sorted though. However we were told to “expect the unexpected” and Roberts had reason to believe that the most likely find is all or some of Marco Polo (1964) – the only missing serial from season one.
We reported on the possibility of Polo having been found back in November last year though that followed reports by the Mirror from a ‘TV insider’ (yeah, OK) that a fan had recorded film of all seven episodes back in the 60s and held on to it until now. But last weekend’s panel seem to indicate that Polo may instead have been found in the haul from Nigeria.
Whatever the truth is, the Omnirumour is being strangely persistent and there seems to be reason to hope for good news… I certainly hope so as, personally, the discovery of missing Who is more exciting than getting snogged by that super-hot celebrity you’ve always had a massive crush on. In space. (I’m sure you’re the same, dear reader). And it’s tough reigning in the excitement just in case the Omnirumour turns out to disappoint.

| Having read through the weekend posts on other forums and looking again at the linked announcement above, it all seems to be nothing. There were a good number of films recovered overseas and it's well known that Marco Polo was the most widely sold serial to overseas TV stations. Therefore if anything shows up, then it is most likely to be Marco Polo.
Yep, Marco Polo is still the most probable next find, but I've only seen comments attributed to the Restoration Team that they personally have not gotten their hands on any Polo episodes. I'm still hoping for more, but I'm not finding any evidence of an official release of new stories this week. |

Yep, Marco Polo is still the most probable next find Just to give everyone something to think about, maybe there's something in Phil Morris' statement "expect the unexpected." Since most people seem to expect that Marco Polo is (logically) the most likely "find", maybe that isn't what was found after all (assuming anything has been found, mind you). |

| So you're saying they've found the Feast of Steven in Nigeria? That's about the least probable thing I would expect. I did enjoy the Marco Polo recon a few years ago and would like to see it returned, but really I'm happy with most any "new" missing episodes found. |
