o this came to me from a connected source, let s say.

I do not know the veracity of


this information, and attempts to get clarification regarding its details have
proved relatively fruitless. Though I am not the only one who has been sent the
e-mail.
Last year Bleeding Cool ran the story that there was a whole host of Doctor Who
missing episodes from the sixties that had been recovered. A few months later, a
couple of them were announced and made available. Since then, there has been a
lot of shut up and wait from those involved.
So it s time for Bleeding Cool to do what we do best. Just print the damn thing, t
hen run for cover while everything explodes.
Like I said, I do not know whether the following is true or not. But maybe someo
ne reading this does. It has not been edited for sense, grammar of meaning. But,
hey, when do we ever do that?
from a secret source
Phil approached the BBC with news of a massive find, but wanted funding.
They gave him in on condition. He gave them Web, Enemy and Marco. Promised h
undreds more. That gets leaked to DWO who go WHAAAAA and are then told to shush.
The BBC gave Phil funding
Meanwhile the source of the eps realised they were worth money and changed t
he goal posts. Getting them became tricky.
The Beeb pushed Phil. He said he had them all but didn t so stalled. And stall
ed. And stalled.
He then started mouthing off about stuff, surmising and assuming. He told WW
, the BFI, actors, the RT. He HAD this stuff, of course he does! People start to
talk. We get wind of it from various avenues.
But he doesn t have it. Not really. In the meantime the Beeb are pointing ever
y lead at him, because in their eyes he s the ME Guy. He s forced to precure sh*t co
pies of Power, Massacre and DMP but it s grainy and some of its soundless. Useless
. HE reckons his source has better copies. So he stalls. Starts a small RT of hi
s own to clean up what he had. It ll be better than nothing.
Web and Enemy come out. Actors go mental. It s not cleared properly. It stalls
Marco.
An estate of an actor in that doesn t play ball. They ve seen the popularity of
the others and wants a bigger cut. Legality entails.
The BBC go for Phil. Does he have the stuff? Cos if not they need their mone
y back. Or they could absorb TIEA into BBCWW?
Phil panics. Aarrgh. He s promised this stuff. He s told the BFI. He s tried to ar
range Press Conferences. He s even showed Mark Gatiss bits of Power to prove it. B
ut he doesn t have the majority of it. So he goes online in a charm offensive. The
winds in the right direction. Stay tuned. Don t panic Captain Manwaring etc etc
Meanwhile, he still tries to procure the remains.
So, in affect, everyone is RIGHT. And wrong.

This is actually what happened. We ve all been listening to various amounts of


Phil s spin.
Do you see? It all makes sense. No one has anything of worth. Power is in li
mbo. UM was halted for the same thing
Phil thinks he will get a better copy. Sam
e with Massacre and DMP. Marco s in legal limbo. And no one can say whats what bec
ause until the RT get a hold of this stuff no one knows for sure if they have th
e Holy Grail or tins full of Balsamic.
The BBC and BFI have lost patience. Phil has started paying funding back. Hi
s only way out is to get these things back from Africa. He WILL, he s confident but
when? Could be tomorrow, could be 2019, could be in 100 years. He s not lying, no
one is. He s just not being 100% truthful
