A Schedule Update While Waiting For An Update

While hammering out some details on our upcoming appearance at British Fest at the end of June, here’s the run up schedule.  Once we have some confirmation, I’ll post it up through July.

 

Friday Night Who on 6/13 is the first three parts of  “The Enemy Of The World”.

For show #181 we’ll be covering two Big Finish Audios staring Paul McGann,  #83 “Something Inside” and #88 “Memory Lane”.

We’ll conclude “The Enemy Of The World” for Friday Night Who with parts 4-6 on 6/20.

…and then we’ll discuss Patrick Troughton’s dual performance in “The Enemy Of The World”  on TTV #182.

Nigerian Banking Pays Off

1393494_734413269906036_972173773_nThe BBC announced today that 2 “Missing” Doctor Who adventures have been found!

That’s right after much speculation of episodes being found it was announced that 9 episodes of Patrick Troughton’s Era have been recovered:

Film recordings of eleven episodes of Doctor Who – nine of which were considered ‘lost’ – have been discovered in Nigeria.

All six episodes of The Enemy of the World and five of The Web of Fear were found by Phillip Morris, director of Television International Enterprises Archive, in a television relay station in Jos, central Nigeria.

Morris tracked records of shipments made by the BBC to Africa, that contained tapes for transmission. BBC Worldwide is currently re-mastering these episodes to restore them to the fantastic quality that audiences expect from Doctor Who.

You can now purchase them on iTunes right now.

They will also be released on DVD, but no word on a US release date for either.
