Singapore missing episodes: fate unknown
Philip Morris: Lets go to Nigeria
Wow, you're good your damn good!

PLEASE
it's so ironic that the legacy of a TV show about a time machine would greatly benefit from having someone in a time machine go back and save all of these classic serials.
😂😂
Like the remembrance of the Daleks, there is a doctor who episode where after the Tardis dematerialises. There's an episode of the show that read "Marco Polo" and it cuts to the credits
yeah lol, saddly that would be the only way to get perfect recordings of 1st - 3rd doctor stories
I can't tell you how many times I've thought this
So have I - it usually went out on Saturday evenings, usually between Grandstand and The Generation Game or Rolf Harris - go back in time with a video recorder - although it didn’t work with a 405-line telly - but you could do a workaround that can record only the audio and video output from the telly - a piece of computer software - record it on that, bring it forward to now, colourise it, enhance it for surround sound - hard to believe that you are watching an old show from the 1960s!
As to asking parents to keep quiet while recording the audio - no chance of that in my family home - every episode would have an extra unseen character in it, portrayed by my now deceased dad, whose only line would have been “Turn that down!”. Totally forgetting that it needs to be that loud to drown out the roar of traffic!
With the ability to go back in time and do that, this series will not have been made - not only would every episode have survived, but it would look and sound fresher and newer than when it was fresh and new - in full colour and surround sound!
My god I love The Invasion. Also, anybody up for a trip to Singapore?
Please!!
@@JoshSnares Here's the plan, we get all of your subscribers to Singapore, some will go through storage lockers, others can pretend to be BBC officials to get access to archives, and some can bring shovels just in case some lunatic decided to bury them.
Oh yes.
@Mayo's Animated Sketchbook Yikes, are you ok hun? I'm profoundly sorry for not paying attention to your internet errands.
Hit me up with a ticket
Won’t anyone just go to Singapore to check for missing episodes already!?!!
Great series, Josh - Loved em’ all and learnt a lot!
They don't want to be caned for chewing gum there. lol
We should start a crowdfund to animate The Space Pirates.
AvatarofCthulhu not just that, all the missing episodes.
that is an amazing idea!!! i will do it and all "proseeds" will go to josh snares
Would pay a crowdfund to destroy episode 2...
Mark andresen I mean, I like the space pirates
As one of those Loose Cannon people (when that photo was taken it WAS really sunny that day, I promise you), I'd like to congratulate you on a fantastic series of documentaries. And lovely to see some of my animations and backgrounds again after all these years!
Thank you so much for your hard work. I don’t think people understand how lucky we are to have the Loose Cannon team! ❤️
thank you and your coworkers for the hard work a show that's survived 55 years is something special and with situations like this owes a lot to that work
Wendy Padbury too? Fantastic! Anyway, I'm probably alone in this, given it's reputation for being duller than dishwater, but I'd love for The Space Pirates to be returned.
Regardless, I sincerely hope that more missing episodes are found. Either in forgotten places in deserts or jungles, or tucked away in some private collector's vault, it doesn't matter, I'd just like to see more of them return, and I long for the day when there are no more missing stories, only incomplete ones. It'd be even better if there were no missing or incomplete stories, but wishing for only incomplete ones seems more achievable.
I share your longing to see Space Pirates returned. Would love to see that story! I think it gets a bad wrap.
'Duller than dishwater'
XD. I do agree though.
this is without a doubt the most underrated channel on youtube. It is so obvious the work that has been put into each episode and I love it. Thanks you so much for doing this.
Thank you!
Good work, Josh. There's no truth to The Space Pirates #2 "being kept for its cultural significance" though. That's a very old and untrue fan rumour that used to be brought up to try and explain why certain individual episodes survived in the archive and others didn't. :-)
Oh really? Didn’t know that!
Love your work btw 😍
They’ve announced why the Highlanders, Marco Polo, and the Crusade haven’t been animated. They’re historicals that involve too many cast members, backgrounds etc. BBC historicals tended to be higher budget than the sci fi ones
The Highlanders doesn't have many cast members, there's less than 20!
Thanks mate for a brilliant series on the missing episodes. 👏👌👍
It’s sad that this is over but this has been an amazing series
Thanks josh
The Invasion has been animated & I don’t care for The Space Pirates so ... can I vote for Fury from the Deep again ?
XD
I second the motion!
lol
xD
:DDDDDD
I approve of this request.
I care about The Space Pirates. Any Patrick Troughton story is worth having and I may be in the minority, but I do like this one.
The only nine-episode story in the history of Doctor Who is the best. Well done Josh - solid gold research, brevity without compromising detail, engagement and production values. Thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding viewing. (I missed the gay voice conversation.... Narration was fine and pitched perfectly, your voice and tone worked perfectly with your choice of music and pace.) Satisfied viewer and fan. :)
Thank you, Craig!! 😍
8:21 is where my heart breaks. :( I have adored this series, and personally, I love your voice. Please keep making more videos. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Thank you!!
Another high quality and interesting episode! Brilliant series, and the fact you've had Wendy Padbury and Peter Purvis send videos is brilliant. Well done Josh.
This has been a brilliant series. Professional level stuff. Really wouldn't look out of place as a DVD extra.
I've loved watching this series every week more than Series 11 😅
AMEN !!
In fairness, I loved the 1990s, where the series was off-air (bar one) more than most of Series 11! :D
Sarcasm aside, I do wish the BBC would use people such as Josh and some of the other great Doctor Who analysts (Richard of Clever Dick Films is another), interview them, take on-board their knowledge and feelings, when producing New Who, instead of just wildly trying to make it so many things for so many people, and getting most of it totally wrong. I think the world of Who would be a far better place for it. :)
@@pjgathergood6987
Too true, too true.
Amazing series, thank you for having made it :) and not that they’ll see it, but thank you to everyone who made it possible to still view the classics, you’ve kept the dream alive
Excellent video again. Really enjoyed this series, very informative. Just one thing I would like to mention. Like you say parts of the Ambassadors of Death were restored to colour using the chroma dots technique but the rest of that story that were restored to colour used the same technique as The Daemons, combining the black and white film copy with the US colour off air video recording. The whole story could not be done that way as there were bad rainbow effects on the colour recording.
Man. What a beautiful series. I can't wait to see what else you've got in store for us. Looking at the Wilderness Years would be great, since I don't know much about it, and I feel it could work with the format we've seen here.
Also, clearly Singapore and Africa is the answer, that's where most of the "We Don't Know" prints are, and that's where we'll find them, if they exist. Someone should seriously contact the BBC and say "We will find you these episodes because we love this series, no payment necessary".
Of course, the BBC will say "No, thanks."
It's ironic, that I want a time machine, so I can go back in time and tape missing episodes of a TV show about time travel....
😂😂
Excellent series, well done, and big respect to you for dedicating it to Graham Strong and all the others!
Thank you! We owe them so much ❤️
Yeah, the dedication was a really nice gesture.
Congratulations on your outstanding Missing Episodes series! This is one of the best pieces of unofficial Doctor Who content on the entire internet! Well done!
Agreed!
Honestly the space pirates it’s such an underrated story that’s visual, it needs to be seen to be experienced
R.I.P Graham Strong. Your job is considered the highest quality. Always.
Except for this episode.
😍😍
Brilliant job, mate! I was ecstatic the whole way, from beginning to end! :) I really didn't expect Wendy Padbury to make a cameo but it's well deserved for this documentary. This incredible 9-part documentary should be in official Doctor Who dvds imho. One of the best journeys I've watched for these lost, but well-beloved, stories. Lets hope the future is bright for these classics. We're slowly getting animations for lost stories almost every year, which is a good starting point.
P.S: Not related but I also love how almost every part until this video had this bit: "Graham Strong's audio recordings are considered the best and Holman and Landen also have recordings" and I knew the line quite well, so I was preparing myself for this line again... well, I was wrong, but it was a good assumption xD Looking forward to your next projects!
I have said that Graham Strong line so much 😂😂
It’s a shame so many serials are missing, or lost. Makes me appreciate Classic DW even more.
I’m probably alone in this, but the animated serials look very strange to me.
Hopefully more will be found! Not everyone loves the animations :)
@@JoshSnares The animations of the lost episodes are better than not seeing them at all. If more of the original episodes are found the Doctor Who Adventures which have more missing episodes found can be re-issued in a revised copy.
This has been a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting series, well done Josh! I look forward to whatever you decide to do next.
Colour recovery is just amazing. Managed to find the war machines online in colour and it’s just brilliant to me that is even possible
Absolutely incredible series. So professionally presented and researched. Keep 'em coming Josh!
I'm not a big fan of The Space Pirates, but I would like to see it completed just to help complete Troughton's last season. Five returned episode's will always be better than two. This has been such a wonderful series and you should be very proud of the results, so well researched and put together. Thanks for making an old Doctor who fan very happy.
That ending had me emotional! Well done! I can't wait to see what you do next! I'm sure it's far, from being all over! :)
Has Singapore been searched yet? That place must have some episodes out there
Oh hey it's me! I'm glad you had such a great time working on this series, I definitely had a blast watching it. The production value's fantastic and I can't wait to see where you go next in regards to Doctor Who history (Whostory?).
I'd love to see the invasion make a comeback in its entirety, it's a fantastic serial and if my avatar didn't give it away I'm a huge fan of the Cybermen, I'd love to see all their missing episodes be found.
If BBC studios plans to make another animated missing story, I seriously want Fury from the Deep, And even The Space Pirates to be next.
Well,well,well...
Fantastic! I'm sad that this series is over. I really enjoyed it. As for which story I'd like to see returned...as much as its a weak story..the Space Pirates gets my vote. Thanks again for the great work.
Thank you for all your work on this project. It was very informative, not only about the missing episodes, but also the pieces of Doctor Who history that you put in. Thank you.
8:03 I accept that grey outfit of Pertwee to be canon, just saying. It looks nice.
I loved this every single part so from one fan to another thanks
Thank you for this series. I would love to see these missing stories!
Yeah Josh, I knew that some of the Pertwee episodes were missing.
Also, Fact-
Tomb of the Cybermen (1967) had all episodes missing from the archives. This remained the case for 25 years until the BBC found all episodes in a Hong Kong BBC Station in 1992.
I'd love to see Space Pirates returned simply because that story needs visuals to work. That story apparently isn't remembered very well by a lot of the cast or crew. Robert Holmes wrote the thing and he didn't remember much about it.
It's the end!! Thank you Josh so much for the 9 episodes of recap and tribute. I was truly touched by how much love and time you put into this series. And best of all, that tribute at the end to the "wacky" and "crazy" fans who over the years have helped to find and preserve and recreate what's missing. Thank you for highlighting them again. It was sweet, and just so classy! People don't often mention how it was truly the fan-love that preserved all we once thought was gone for good from the BBC. And then ... holy cripes .... at the very very end you even put up one of my wacky comments! Aw man, I laughed so loud I think I woke my kid up! Thank you again, and I look forward to what comes next on your channel. SALUTE!
The Invasion has some of my favourite animation in terms of quality and style. Also one of the very first I ever own on DVD, I will never forget that music by Don Harper.
One of my favourites too!
The Invasion was definitely I prefer it over the Space Pirates, the location work is stunning. Also it's sad to see this series end but hopefully one day you can make more if more stories are animated, found or being recreated (like mission to the unknown).
6:45 Lol! I found that quite funny! :)
I Love This Series, So Sad It Had Ended. Another Good Video, Josh!
Can you make documentaries on Doctor Who stories that were never made and why
^ this
Next week I’ll be doing just that!
Oooo!
I enjoyed this series so much. So sad it’s over thanks josh for this great 9 part adventure!
Thoroughly enjoyed this series, excellent work Josh :) Sad it's all over and even sadder because every day that goes by these wonderful episodes feel more and more like they're not coming back. As much as I pray (and I really do, out of desperation) that by some miracle they all just reappear (along with the 4 part version of Planet of Giants) the idea that I'll go the rest of my life and never get to see these stories is so heart-breaking I can't stand it. Reality is a bitch, if only the collective will of fandom was enough to magic them all back I'd be snuggled up watching The Smugglers right now. :( A man can dream.
Would love for the crusade to be animated.
Brilliant episode and congrats on completing such a tremendous series, Josh. Would love to see The Invasion 1 and 4 returned. Great input from Wendy Padbury - your videos are really a cut above and the fact Peter and Wendy have contributed underlines just how well received this series has been. I look forward to a fresh series in the future describing how all the missing episodes have since been returned... Well I can dream!
This has been a great series indeed, Josh. Thank you for producing something that looks so professional, is so well researched and is thoroughly entertaining. Be great to see these compiled together and recognised by the BBC on a future release as a bonus feature.
This long-time Whovian thanks you ever so much for an excellent series, Josh!
This series has been amazing. I cannot wait to see what else you have in store for us, Josh.
This is one of my favourite doctor who related things I've seen on UA-cam, it was informative and entertaining, i looked forward to it every Thursday
And we owe so much to you Josh! Part of the Doctor Who mystique is the history of the show. The work of finding and reconstructing the missing episodes is archaeology of that history. Great work.
I loved learning about what happened to and the future of the lost episodes, it was sad to see the end dedication to Graham Strong considering how much we owe of these lost oldies to him because of a lot of them only have the original audio left, thank you to all of the dedicated fans are responsible for giving us what was possible with so many missing.
Thoroughly enjoyed the series...keep up the great work...🐎
Loved the quote at the end. It seems like a lot of the Singapore imports are unaccounted for. Wouldn't it be great finding a cache of them in Singapore?
I have absolutely loved watching this series. I’m sad that it’s over but I’m glad that there are no more missing episodes 😂 well done on making these videos and all the research that you must have done! ❤️
I hope you make more series like this, they're so good! You could do one discussing the unmade episodes of each Doctor (If you have no idea what I'm on about then look up AllofWho's blogs about the unmade ideas)
Tune in next week, that’s exactly what I’m doing! 😂
Just a word of thanks, Josh. I greatly enjoyed and appreciated watching your series on the missing episodes! Great work!
Ahhh. This is so sad. I will miss this series. Incidentally, anyone up for a treasure hunt in Singapore?
*Grabs Psychic Paper and a shovel*
Yup!
Thank God for hard core film and Doctor Who fans for restoring these episodes.
This series has been absolutely amazing thank You so much I hope You do more videos on Doctor Who's incredible history :)
Heaps more planned!
Brilliant video series Josh. Such a shame what happened but rather be sad about what’s missing, let’s be thankful for what DOES exist. However, while I think some stories/episodes are gone forever, some are still out there somewhere and will be recovered one day...
Excellent work done here. Good luck with future research on the subject of the missing Doctor Who episodes and everything related to it.
I started watching the Classic Series this year and this video series couldn't be available at a better time.
Every time I finished episodes of some part of the series, I would come watch to learn more about the arcs and production. Having this exceptionally produced additional content for free on UA-cam is surreal.
Thank you so much, Josh. You made my experience with the Classic Series so much more wonderful. This series of videos was the main reason I didn't give up on the recons and go all the way. If I'm now watching "The War Games" without having skipped an arc, it's all your fault!
Well done! It’s not easy getting through those recons early on haha
The Invasion is one of my favourite Cybermen stories even know the Cybermen don’t appear much in it.
they dont appear until like end of part 4. Its been a while.
Again I always say this but you really do well with these videos! I was just wandering if you were going to talk about the missing colour episodes.
When I was a teenager in the 1980s, I read 3 of the 4 encounters the Second Doctor had with the Cybermen in novelization form. Tomb of the Cybermen was more interesting to read in book form than it was to watch it on DVD. That story as a TV serial was a serious disappointment when compared to the book. However, The Invasion was just as good of a story on DVD as the book was. The animated reconstructions of missing episodes 1 and 4 are pretty good and are not distracting to the overall story when watching them. If only VHS tape recorders for home use existed at that time could we have seen what was lost. Of all the missing Patrick Troughton stories I’d like to see available in the BBC archives, I’d love to see The Power of the Daleks just to see what Patrick Troughton did at the very beginning to develop his own separate persona from William Hartnell’s characterization of the Doctor. If I had a second choice, I’d choose The Highlanders just to see Fraser Hines first story as Jamie McCrimmon.
This has been a fantastic series! Thank you!
Thank you Josh for your great work! I have enjoyed the series. I want to share with Doctor Who community another site that has talked about this in detail. SF Debris has a lot of information though it is older and has a slightly more opinionated take on the missing episodes. Thanks again for all your hard work!
I agree with a number of the comments below in that the animation on the Invasion is by far the best of the lot. I love this story and Kevin Stoney as Tobias Vaughn is the best human villain in the history of Doctor Who. When he goads Professor Watkins into shooting him and then laughs when Watkins realized that Vaughn has already been partially cybertized is a great piece of acting and then of course, there is his useless henchman Packer! When you add that this is the story in which Benton becomes part of the UNIT family and you have a classic.
And Josh, while I know that your series must sadly come to an end soon, I have thoroughly enjoyed these videos and I would really recommend that you pitch them to the BBC for inclusion in an upcoming DVD release as the quality is definitely worthy of consideration.
Colour Silurian Overlay? Wow, they were brilliant scientists! PS Love your work, Josh.
Superb work! I’ve loved these 9 videos
Again, well done to your last part of the Missing Episodes and I hope like all Dr. Who fans that one day more episodes will come back and show themselves to us.... Fury from the Deep ...… where are you?
Thank you very much for this highly entertaining look at the missing episodes Josh, let's hope this won't be the last word on them, I remain ever hopeful that further episodes will come to light, or at the very least I hope there will be more animations to come in the future! Bravo Josh!!
The five missing Space Pirates were among the latest surviving missing episodes. They got transmitted in 1976 in IIRC Gambia. The only other currently missing episodes known 100% to have been in existence somewhere in the world beyond this point are the three missing Galaxy 4 episodes until 1977 and The Web of Fear pt3 until 2012.
Excellent series! Loved it.... thanks Josh...
The last video.amazing work Josh.
Thank you. I really enjoyed this series.
It just shows you how much material that has been recovered, restored and remade over the years.
Impressive stuff.
Thanks again.
Really enjoyed this series of videos - thanks for taking the time to put them together! Looking forward to whatever you do next... P.S. I walked by the church where they "allegedly" found the Dalek Masterplan episodes the other day. Unfortunately, despite a quick search of the surrounding area, I couldn't find any more - LOL :)
This has been a great series. You've done a brilliant job!
Thanks :)
Well done bro. It’s been a great series of videos. Probably the best analysed towards the missing episodes out there. Enjoyed it so much. 👊🏻
Thank you!!
Well done. Thanks for this series.
These missing episode videos have been top class, you're very talented and dedicated to your work and you're channel deserves more appreciation. Well done and keep up the awesome job 👏👏 👏
Thank you!!
Fantastic series! Hopefully the future holds more missing episode finds! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Josh, this has been an incredible series. You’ve done such a wonderful job putting all this together. I’ve learnt so much that I didn’t know before as well. Looking forward to more of your content. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you!
Excellent series, thanks Josh.
Thank you so much matey
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos
The only thing I love more than this series is the slights on Ian Levine
Great Job! I loved this series!
Kinda sad we've come to the end of this series of videos. For the final time, well done Josh on putting this together, it's been really entertaining and informative 🙂 I look forward to see what you do next.
I love your enthusiasm and energy and slick presentation
Great job on all 9 parts! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
