And maybe more to come...? Fingers crossed...
Also the 'remastered' unearthly child.....
Need to add return to devil's end and white witch of devil's end released on 31st October 2014 to the list.
What????
That's the date galaxy 4 has it down for release now.
What exactly are these? I am completely ignorant about these titles.
From Tardis wikia-
Return to Devil's End was a direct-to-video reunion documentary released by Reeltime Pictures in 1993 and re-released in 1997. It featured Jon Pertwee, Nicholas Courtney, Richard Franklin, John Levene and Christopher Barry returning to Aldbourne and reminiscing about the filming of The Dæmons.
White Witch of Devil's End is a spin off drama from The Dæmons, a press release can be found here- http://howeswho.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/white-witch-of-devils-end.html
They are both realtime production DVDs. The return to devils end is a documentary recorded in the early 90s which had jon pertwee and others visiting the locations from the daemons. White witch dvd is a brand new spin off with miss Hawthorne from the daemons.
Are those cannon? Official?
Nope not cannon plus bbc don't own the rights to them.
By my count, we have
- Marco Polo
- The Crusade
- Galaxy 4
- Mission to the Unknown
- The Myth Makers
- The Dalek's Master Plan
- The Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve
- The Celestial Toymaker
- The Savages
- The Smugglers
- The Power of the Daleks
- The Highlanders
- The Macra Terror
- The Faceless Ones
- The Evil of the Daleks
- The Abominable Snowmen
- Fury From the Deep
- The Wheel in Space
and
- The Space Pirates
That is 19 stories, ten for Hartnell and nine for Troughton.
We even have several of the episodes for many of the above stories (The Crusade being one particular case where two exist and two are missing).
Let's say that they find a few more stories (there are rumors of several). How many episodes would we need before it would behoove the BBC to finish off the last of everything with animation?
Five episodes for Marco Polo?
One more for Crusade?
Two more for Galaxy 4?
Realistically, we could possibly have everything out in some form with the discovery of what, 50 strategically placed episodes so that the rest could economically be filled in with animation? Even without that many found, I think that if 15 or 16 of the serials were completed that the BBC would find itself under enormous pressure to finish the remainders just so the entire back catalog could exist in some form or fashion. What do y'all think?
19 serials. I hope that a few more are found, announced and released soon.
Which ones would y'all most like to see found and released on the list?
I like your list. I would also like to see the rest of The Celestial Toymaker found.
21st December.
Sweet. Thanks.
Hopefully the (still anemic) 2014 list will get some dates and some more titles added to it at that time.
I tried to check the missing episodes thread but that guy steve hill is so lame closing the thread because of bickering? Newsflash! Its called a heated discussion!
Hopefully more episodes have been found and the list can be bigger.

Between the five titles listed already, the (hopefully) more stuff being found and the need to do Special Editions of much of the old stuff (I can find that list in the old thread), I could easily see the next two years being full of releases. Hopefully the BBC will realize that the cash cow can continue.
Please excuse my ignorance but was is DWA?
