Dr Who Detective Philip Morris Hints At More Rediscovered Episodes

BigBadBus writes: In late 2013, Philip Morris announced that he had found 9 missing episodes of 1960s Dr.Who, which completed the 1968 story "Enemy of the World" and most of "The Web of Fear." He has now gone on record to talk about the only episode of these stories that he didn't find — namely part 3 of "Web of Fear" and teases of more episode finds to come. Episodes keep trickling out of the past, it seems; we've mentioned a few small finds in 2004 and 2011, too.

    As the submitter of this article, I thought readers might like to see a list of missing and recovered episodes, all from the first 6 years on my website

      Doctor Who not Dr. Who

      Sheesh, if we're going to indulge in fan-wankery, let's at least do it right. "Dr. Who" was used in the title of the first of the two non-canon 60s Movies with Peter Cushing (I rather like them, and the colorful Daleks, but fans at the time weren't happy with the adaptation), and has never been used since. Everywhere else, it's always spelled out, never abbreviated.

      Nice to see more of the early works recovered. I'd especially love to see more of the second Doctor (Patrick Troughton). Troughton had a unique take on the character, and so little of his work survived.
