It’s episode 12 of The Missing Episodes Podcast! The Savages is not only missing from the archives, but also seemingly missing from fandom’s thoughts and affections. What makes it so intangible? What is it about and what did it look like? To explore these questions, Tim i...

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.”

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 Tippl...

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 succe...

“Beware of Greeks bearing gifts!” Unless, as it turns out on this occasion, the gift is comedian and sixties Doctor Who stalwart Toby Hadoke, all lovingly gift-wrapped and ready to talk.

 

It doesn’t take long to become apparent that Toby and the team are cheerleaders for the much neglected “The Myth Makers”. And there's plenty to say on the subject...

Missing episode enthusiasts Paul and Tim think they've hit on a Varga-ood idea: tracking down lost TV signals in outer space… After they've tackled that thorny issue, they set about a more realistic goal: reviewing the Season 3 one-part story Mission to the Unknown.

 

Mission acts as a trailer for the forthcoming twelve-part epic “The Daleks’ Master...

When we interviewed Paul Scoones about the recovery of ‘The Lion’ for episode 3, we didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to ask him about his other contributions to the worlds of Doctor Who.

So here’s our full and wide-ranging discussion, covering Paul’s work on the DVD and Bluray ranges, 'The Comic Strip Companions', his unofficial novelisations of Resurrection of the Daleks and Shada (hens’ teeth!) and more!

Ever wondered what you’d do if you found a missing episode of Doctor Who? After Paul and Tim review the season two story 'The Crusade', Paul Scoones joins them to recount 'The Lion’s Tale'. Paul was one of the dedicated New Zealand superfans who helped recover episode one of the story in 1999. Paul (aided by wonderful written testimony from his good friend Neil Lambess) recounts this compelling tale of great good fortune, chewed na...

The Missing Episodes Podcast is back, for more Doctor Who lacunae! This time Paul and Tim examine The Reign of Terror: an important story in the evolution of the Who Historical, with its funny bits and less didactic tone - but is it any good? It's certainly incomplete, and Greg Bakun from Kaleidoscope and From the Archive joins in to discuss the animation of the two missing episodes. Greg gives great insight into the animation proc...
