For the last few months a rumour has been surging around various forums and other places that a ludicrous number of missing Doctor Who episodes have been found. I thought this had gone away but it seemed to bubble up again yesterday. Inevitably 1000s of people have slavishly retweeted links to the story on one or two UK newspapers and boosted their advertising revenue; then the Radio Times became involved and we hear that something will be announced tomorrow (Tuesday 8th).
I’m not going to pretend I know anything nor that I am en expert on the missing episodes - I’m in the broadly cynical but hopeful camp. One person who does seem well-informed is Gerhardt Himmelmann who has written an excellent analysis called What are the newly-recovered Doctor Who episodes? on his blog The Dragon’s Maw.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow (now moved to later in the week)!
Update (Tuesday 8th) The BBC themselves have this story on their website:
