A wip of that scene from the missing serial The Macra Terror. Not sure if I'll finish it, but I had fun with this bit!

doctor who missing episodes...

[doctordiscosbignaturals]

i don’t know if the enemy of the world will be the last lost episode ever found

but what i do know is that someone’s nan in the late 60’s saw patrick troughton as ramón salamander on her tv one saturday night and said you know what we should tape this one

Every day I wake up and wait for a doctor who collector to slip on ice so that the highlanders may come tumbling out of their pocket.

Doctor Who - Missing: Presumed Dead

Took me ages to find this infographic again, so I'm posting it here for easy reference.

When the BBC founded their Film and Videotape Library in 1978, the holdings of 1960s Doctor Who were almost non-existent. By 1981, after returns from various BBC departments and national bodies, the Library held 116 of the 253 episodes. Since then, episodes have surfaced all over the world - some after having adventures worthy of the Doctor himself…

I've gotta say going from watching the legend of ruby sunday and seeing the doctor going crazy about the idea of possibly having a granddaughter (having not seen the rest of the series and just watching it bc my boyfriend was)

to then going and watching the original 1960s run and seeing a character who literally calls him grandfather (made even more confusing because BBC iplayer doesn't have the first episode and jumps straight to the daleks so I missed all the set up) is quite the experience

[idontevenknow7878]

Does anyone have any recordings of the power of the daleks? Was at a family members house and heard it being mentioned, now I wanna find it for them

Someone stop me.

On Doctors and Donnas and not quite going home again

I never mean to quit Doctor Who. And I never mean for it to become my whole personality. I just cycle through one and then the other every few years.

After intending to still watch after Clara left…I didn’t. And then I kept meaning to check in on Thirteen…and didn’t.

I wasn’t even going to watch the new episode tonight until I was struck with this all consuming I MUST WATCH. I was going to keep my distance and hold the show accountable for what it did to Donna and how I’m still mad.

…but nope. This show did its little thing it does to me and I’m back, baby!

Can't remember if I've made this post but in case I haven't: Does anyone know Ash, from AshGotBored, the old Deca vines YT channel? The channel's gone and I miss the videos, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone either had the videos or knows Ash and can put my in touch. Thanks Decablr/Whoblr xx

my dearest grinchheads, we have returned. We have not returned emptyhanded, as we have a significant lead in our search. Before disclosing said lead, we find it important to emphasize that in our absence, we did not grow bored of this search. It has been a trying few years, and this search has taken us to some wild places, some of which we weren't able to update on here on this blog. Without further ado, we have found the active youtube account of who we believe to be the original artist and creator behind the blenda character. We have requested an interview with the suspected artist that we would no doubt post here, for you grinchheads to sink your teeth into. If we do not update again, presume us dead, or still in search of the elusive blenda. Until then stay strong, stay vigilant my grinchheads.

-hoops and J,

i watched the giggle with 2 people who have never seen an episode of doctor who in their life and when i tell you they were SO offended by the doctor's speech about humanity's stupidity. i just wrote it off as insulting species when he's stressed but they pointed out he was so out of pocket to start yelling at humans for their behaviour while mind controlled by the toymaker

[monkee-mobile]

(apologies anyone who sees this for lamenting into the void again)

Keep Off My Grass got taken off of the internet archive and this is officially my destructive arc because that movie is preserved NOWHERE

no dvd release

no NOTHING

is it just me alone with my screen recordings of Twila my beloved and a few youtube videos?

Doctor Who: The Lost Audiobook

Nigel Robinson's audio novelization of An Unearthly Child was meant to be released in November 2013. It was narrated by William Russell and had a beautiful cover by Nick Spender.

A decade later, it has not been released.

AudioGO went into administration in October 2013 due to financial irregularities. The audiobook rights reverted back to BBC Worldwide and Random House became their new distributor. However, An Unearthly Child has not been released due to a "rights situation".

Curiously, the audiobook was part of British Airlines in-flight entertainment in November 2013. Nigel Robinson revealed he has not heard the audiobook himself!

Will we ever be able to listen to this unreleased story? According to online databases, it will be released in... 2098.

we stan my roommate who just let me go on a rant about lost media for ten minutes

[mbrainspaz]

ok I don't really feel like I had a choice in One Piece suddenly being my new hyperfixation in the first place but one week and 183 issues in I'm definitely starting to feel like a prisoner here.
