For the first time proper, the TARDIS is back on contemporary Earth, indeed in contemporary London, and The Doctor and Dod… uhh… the Doctor and new, groovy companions Ben and Polly face down the mechanical menace in the Post Office Tower and The War Machines. Master podcaster Steven Schapansky (@RadioFreeSkaro) and Doctor Who Historian Jon Preddle (https://broadwcast.org/) join to help analyse this most seminal of stories, as Season 3 draws to a close and Doctor Who marches on in a new format under Innes Lloyd and Gerry Davis. Then it’s off on a world tour, as Jon talks us through the sales process, censorship in Australia and New Zealand and how and why four prints of The War Machines ended up in Nigeria, to be found by Ian Levine in the 1980’s. This is the deepest of deep dives and summarises years of Jon’s cutting-edge research. We also explore why, perhaps, The Wheel in Space wasn’t in Jos when Enemy and Web were recovered over ten years ago! So leave your Dodo at home, put on your fab gear and join us as we take a look at The War Machines. If you enjoy this podcast, we ask that you share it on social media to help us find our audience!

It’s time to explore the realm of The Celestial Toymaker and to commemorate the only missing episode found on Australian soil, Paul and Tim are joined by two prominent Antipodean missing episode devotees: Josh Snares (Youtuber extraordinaire https://www.youtube.com/c/JoshSnares ) and colourist and Celestial Toymaker obsessive, Kieran Highman https://twitter.com/The66Ramblers We say finally say farewell to the Wiles/Tosh era as once again the team try to get to the bottom of another complex Season 3 origins narrative. Then it’s on to the story itself as we explore the themes, characters and plot involved in this divisive tale that fan lore tells us is an undisputed classic. Episode 4 was found in Australia in the 1980’s, but why was it there and what are the chances of any more of it being found? So come and play some seemingly harmless games with us as we take a deep dive into The Celestial Toymaker.

Support us on Patreon 👉https://www.patreon.com/missingepisodes 🙌 Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/drwhopodcasters The Missing Episodes Podcast is back and ready to continue its journey through the missing (and found) episodes of Doctor Who, but there’s business to conclude first with the second part of our look at “The Daleks’ Master Plan.” In part two, Tim is joined again by the still brilliant Gav Rymill, who’s just relaunched his YouTube series of Terry Nation Army videos https://www.youtube.com/user/Dalek6388 and remains a man of many talents. Gav is joined by researcher extraordinaire Rhys Williams, fresh from his stunning piece on The Wheel in Space in Doctor Who Magazine (co-written with Simon Guerrier and Gav!) Rhys collects facts like Mavic Chen collects Taranium. Together they shine considerable light on how iconic scenes in DMP would have looked, what the Australian censors saw, the Doctor Who sales process and the technical side of the creation of film prints. If that’s not enough, author, broadcast history and missing episodes researcher and driving force behind the indispensable https://www.broadwcast.org, Jon Preddle, weighs in with a detailed account of the censorship process and the returns of episodes 2, 5 and 10. So put on your SCUBA gear and join us on this very deep dive as we ponder what YOUR most missed missing moments are, why we have the clips and episodes that we have, what the chances are of more DMP coming back and how many vegetable terms the Australian censors can use to describe Zephon.

It’s a much missed, long sought after “epic”, yes, The Missing Episodes Podcast is back from the junking pile. This is the first of two episodes looking at the twelve-part Season 3 story, “The Daleks’ Master Plan.” In part one, Paul and Tim are joined by the brilliant Gav Rymill. Gav, a man of many talents, is well known for his work in Doctor Who related graphic design and for being one of the two men behind the phenomenally successful “Dalek 63:88.” Gav leads the team on a deep dive into the origins of the story, what might have been, what the heck was going on the with casting of companions and reveals, for perhaps the first time, whose nipples feature in DMP. There’s a veritable Volcano of facts, more to chew on than at The Feast of Steven, (sp) and despite the long recording session, we hope we avoided The Destruction of Rym-ill. So welcome, delegates and please enjoy Gav’s wonderful insights into this mostly missing classic. Gav’s latest book “The Dalek Combat Training Manual” can be found here. Gav and Jon’s wonderful “Terry Nation Army” videos can be found here. Jess Jurkovic’s “Dudley Simpson is Doctor Who” can be found here.

Missing episode enthusiasts Paul and Tim think they've hit on a Varga-ood idea: tracking down lost TV signals in outer space… After they've tackled that thorny issue, they set about a more realistic goal: reviewing the Season 3 one-part story Mission to the Unknown. Mission acts as a trailer for the forthcoming twelve-part epic “The Daleks’ Master Plan” - but does it do its job? Is the Doctor-less experiment successful in its own right? And can Paul and Tim keep track of three characters’ names in a 25 minute piece of television drama? This time they are joined by Andrew Ireland from the University of Central Lancashire. The driving force behind the wonderful 2019 live action recreation of the story, Andrew brings his deep understanding of Mission to the team's discussion of the story, and adds a host of insights into the virtues of 1960’s TV production methods. In 2019, Andrew also appeared on our good friend Richard Smith’s “Something Who” podcast and gave fascinating testimony to the production of the UCLAN project. We highly recommend not only revisiting this podcast first, but also Richard’s review of the story which features all manner of Delegatory delights with author Jac Rayner (plus a couple of voices which may sound familiar). They can be found here: https://somethingwho.podbean.com/e/episode-55a-andrew-ireland/ https://somethingwho.podbean.com/e/episode-55-transmission-of-the-unknown/ Three Varga-ood podcasts for the price of one!

Melodramatic music samples are lovingly pinched from the original BBC production of Mission to the Unknown.

Join Paul and Tim for some mischievous monkery as they review the last story of season two, “The Time Meddler”. This episode they’re joined by Doctor Who author and missing episodes researcher Jon Preddle, the driving force behind www.broadwcast.org. After talking about his research in general, Jon provides fascinating and expert insight into the bicycling system used to distribute Doctor Who, the sales process and NZ censorship. We then see the tip of of his research iceberg into that most fruitful of countries for missing episodes, Nigeria, where "The Time Meddler" was found in the 1980s. We're not a mountain goat, but we prefer podcasting to any day, so pop us on your anachronistic gramophone and give us a listen! (And besides, we hate climbing.)

There’s also a woeful homage to Carry on Camping. And yes, Tim does know that Talbot Rothwell didn’t write ALL of the Carry On Films… he got overexcited.

Ever wondered what you’d do if you found a missing episode of Doctor Who? After Paul and Tim review the season two story 'The Crusade', Paul Scoones joins them to recount 'The Lion’s Tale'. Paul was one of the dedicated New Zealand superfans who helped recover episode one of the story in 1999. Paul (aided by wonderful written testimony from his good friend Neil Lambess) recounts this compelling tale of great good fortune, chewed nails, BBC bureaucracy and those that helped along the way. Join us for this very special episode: Paul and Tim were grinning from ear to ear as the tale was told and we’re sure you will too! The full 90 minute interview will imminently be released as a bonus; in it we discuss Paul’s extensive involvement in many official and unofficial Doctor Who projects, with added Lion content! Paul Scoones can be found on Twitter @paul_scoones, and the NZDWFC web pages, including his written account of “The Lion’s Tale” can be found here. (For those bored of Paul and Tim, Paul Scoones joins the conversation at 33 minutes. For those bored of confectionary-based humour, that stops at the first three hours. Sorry, minutes) If you enjoy this podcast, we'd love it if you shared it on social media to help us find our audience!
