And talking of lost episodes...

... I'm sure you've all seen the news by now

*faints*

(I have to say I'm a bad person, because when I saw it go up on my flist, I thought it was a joke because of which two episodes it was... :lol:)

Burninated DW:
108 106 episodes.

(I linked to the Radio Times article, because what exactly does the guy mean at the end, hmm?)

ETA: I am slightly out of shock and it is real. So let there be joy: THERE IS MORE WILLIAM HARTNELL AND PATRICK TROUGHTON IN THE WORLD! I have already seen a picture of a Rill!

Vicki!

And, most importantly, more Ben and Polly! ♥. And I would a million times rather see a duff ep than try to listen to it.

*JOY*

Also, since nothing seems impossible now, I shall choose to interpret those last words as "oh, yes, I am on the trail of the Power of the Daleks" because why not?

ETA2: Also what sort of film collector who lives in England - in Hampshire - picks up some Doctor Who and doesn't even think to look on the internet for which episodes are missing? I don't know. I think if I was a film collector I would be checking that sort of thing. (Oh, who cares?)

ETA3: THERE ARE CLIPS ON YOUTUBE. Look at Patrick Troughton. It would be worth it if they'd just found this minute: Underwater Menace clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OTPKZLeO1U

And Galaxy 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSX364eepsk

Hey, I can't say anything - I have to shamefully admit I fell asleep twice while trying to watch Hartnell. So yeah... I'm probably not going to watch these two - but it doesn't mean I can't rejoice that they exist!! :D

No, I haven't tried that one - I should! I tried An Unearthly Child, and thoroughly enjoyed episode 1, and then it turned into two cavemen arguing about which one of them invented fire and I fell asleep. And then I tried The Daleks... I think I survived to episode 3 with that one, but again... not much beyond that :)

I really liked the Romans. I loved how they travelled back in time and the problem wasn't some alien life form masquerading as Romans that was causing menace, just actual Romans!

And YAYYYYYYYY for more episodes!!!! *does happy dancing*

That... actually sounds promising! In a loltastic sort of way. I'll definitely be on the lookout for that!

(Also, yes, I've seen the clips, and OMG Patrick Troughton <3)
