As ever, there’s talk of lost Doctor Who episodes having been found, and there’s equal talk on social media of them not being found; someone claims to have spoken to the collector in the article and apparently the latter said the episodes in question are one that have been “known” about for years and not new discoveries. However, in recent times there has been another list of supposedly actual new finds, which I quote from the comments of a YT video about it:
Myth Makers 2 & 4
Smugglers 2 & 4
Highlanders 2
Space pirates 4-6
Galaxy Four 4
Now I suspect this is about as bullshit as most Doctor Who missing episode rumours, but I find it oddly believable, cos while I’m sure most Whovians would welcome the return of any of the missing 97, I don’t think any of these are really on anyone’s list of priorities for rediscovery, especially not “The Space Pirates”. We’d take those episodes, sure, but we’d rather get “Tenth Planet” episode four or “The Power of the Daleks” or “Marco Polo”. I think the fact this rumour involves such lower priority episodes actually makes it more likely… though obviously I wouldn’t actually believe it until the footage actually appeared.
