The Restoration Team has revealed via Twitter that The Underwater Menace will be released on DVD. Unfortunately, this and The Moonbase will be their final two DVDs. Details on The Underwater Menace are currently unknown, but chances are the two missing episodes will be animated.

2014 Will be quite a sad year, I don't want the classic DVD range to end!

UPDATE: They are now claiming that this picture is not from episode 2 or 3. Is it just from the photo gallery, is it a regular reconstruction like the VHS release of The Tenth Planet or has something actually been found?

Lost William Hartnell Interview Rediscovered!

The BBFC's classifications have revealed that the upcoming DVD release of The Tenth Planet will, thanks to Richard Bignell, feature something just as exciting as the animated episode four: a previously lost 1967 interview with William Hartnell himself with both video and audio!

Remember, the DVD will be released on 18th November and is definitely worth pre-ordering!

Have Some Missing Episodes Really Been Found?

As you may remember, a site called Bleeding Cool posted some rumours involving missing episodes of various BBC shows, including Doctor Who and Dad's Army.

At the moment, the BBC's Dad's Army page has the three surviving episodes of Series 2 listed but it says "There will be 6 episodes. More information coming soon." despite the fact that three of those six are... Or were missing from the BBC's archives.

Now that isn't directly Doctor Who related, but since it's a BBC show, it provides more evidence that a few missing Doctor Who episodes may have been recovered. According to Outpost Skaro, three stories that may have been completely recovered are Marco Polo, The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear.

Of course, don't take any of this as fact but it is starting to look more and more likely.
