It’s episode 13 of The Missing Episodes Podcast! For the first time proper, the TARDIS is back on contemporary Earth, indeed in contemporary London, and The Doctor and Dod... uhh... the Doctor and new, groovy companions Ben and Polly face down the mechanical menace in the Post Office Tower and The War Machines.

Master podcaster Steven Schapansky (@RadioFreeSkaro) and Doctor Who Historian Jon Preddle (https://broadwcast.org/) join to help analyse this most seminal of stories, as Season 3 draws to a close and Doctor Who marches on in a new format under Innes Lloyd and Gerry Davis.

Then it’s off on a world tour, as Jon talks us through the sales process, censorship in Australia and New Zealand and how and why four prints of The War Machines ended up in Nigeria, to be found by Ian Levine in the 1980’s. This is the deepest of deep dives and summarises years of Jon’s cutting-edge research. We also explore why, perhaps, The Wheel in Space wasn’t in Jos when Enemy and Web were recovered over ten years ago!

So leave your Dodo at home, put on your fab gear and join us as we take a look at The War Machines.

It’s a SPECIAL EDITION of The Missing Episodes Podcast.

Since private collector Terry Burnett returned two episodes in 2011 and the announcement in 2013 of nine episodes found in Nigeria, to date, no further missing episodes have been returned, despite the fact that episodes are known to exist in private hands. So, as they’re the most viable option for further Doctor Who missing episode returns in the future, it’s time to talk film collectors.

TV producer and missing episodes expert Paul Vanezis, along with well-connected and established film collectors John Clancy and John Franklin join Tim for a frank and colourful discussion on the hobby of film collecting and the film collecting community.

What is film collecting? Why do people collect film? Is there much interest in TV on film and how much of it is about? How did material make its way from copyright holders into collections? What is the size and state of film collecting today as a hobby? What are attitudes like about secrecy? Are film collectors deliberately hoarding missing episodes? The truth is probably more complicated than you think...

We learn that many collections are tragically ending up in landfill on a regular basis, so what can be done about that? One solution, being worked on by the panel, is to hold a film collectors’ event and we get to learn all about October’s “Film is Fabulous” and what that might reveal...

With enormous thanks John and John for taking the time to talk to a Doctor Who fan and indeed to Paul for making this happen.

It’s a much missed, long sought after “epic”, yes, The Missing Episodes Podcast is back from the junking pile. This is the first of two episodes looking at the twelve-part Season 3 story, “The Daleks’ Master Plan.”

In part one, Paul and Tim are joined by the brilliant Gav Rymill. Gav, a man of many talents, is well known for his work in Doctor Who related graphic design and for being one of the two men behind the phenomenally successful “Dalek 63:88.” Gav leads the team on a deep dive into the origins of the story, what might have been, what the heck was going on the with casting of companions and reveals, for perhaps the first time, whose nipples feature in DMP.

There’s a veritable Volcano of facts, more to chew on than at The Feast of Steven,
(sp) and despite the long recording session, we hope we avoided The Destruction of Rym-ill.

So welcome, delegates and please enjoy Gav’s wonderful insights into this mostly missing classic.

Gav’s latest book “The Dalek Combat Training Manual” can be found here.

Gav and Jon’s wonderful “Terry Nation Army” videos can be found here.

Jess Jurkovic’s “Dudley Simpson is Doctor Who” can be found here.

The Missing Episodes Podcast is back and ready to continue its journey through the missing (and found) episodes of Doctor Who, but there’s business to conclude first with the second part of our look at “The Daleks’ Master Plan.”

In part two, Tim is joined again by the still brilliant Gav Rymill, who’s just relaunched his YouTube series of Terry Nation Army videos https://www.youtube.com/user/Dalek6388 and remains a man of many talents. Gav is joined by researcher extraordinaire Rhys Williams, fresh from his stunning piece on The Wheel in Space in Doctor Who Magazine (co-written with Simon Guerrier and Gav!) Rhys collects facts like Mavic Chen collects Taranium. Together they shine considerable light on how iconic scenes in DMP would have looked, what the Australian censors saw, the Doctor Who sales process and the technical side of the creation of film prints.

If that’s not enough, author, broadcast history and missing episodes researcher and driving force behind the indispensable https://www.broadwcast.org, Jon Preddle, weighs in with a detailed account of the censorship process and the returns of episodes 2, 5 and 10.

So put on your SCUBA gear and join us on this very deep dive as we ponder what YOUR most missed missing moments are, why we have the clips and episodes that we have, what the chances are of more DMP coming back and how many vegetable terms the Australian censors can use to describe Zephon.

Season 8 on Blu-ray is upon us, so in a bonus episode of The Missing Episodes Podcast, it’s off to The Slaughtered Lamb The Cloven Hoof to meet four people who helped with the latest restoration of "The Daemons".

Once upon a time, 4 of the 5 episodes of The Daemons were only known to exist on black and white 16mm film, and while standing on the shoulders of giants (figuratively), Kieran Highman, Ant Lamb, Gav Rymill and Rich Tipple talk about their contributions to the latest version of that most renowned of Pertwee adventures.

So be a devil and join us as we ponder where technology has led us and where it may lead us in the future of restoration.
