... as the Doctor Who Restoration Team has released the news that Episode 2 of "The Daleks' Master Plan" serial has been returned to the BBC. This makes 3 of the 13 chapters of the epic story arc that have now been recovered.
Ironically, the print was returned by the former head of engineering at broadcast rival ITV, who "borrowed" the reel from a pile of "junk" films when he was a junior engineer at the BBC... and only recently discovered it was one of the 109 shows listed as "missing" when he consulted the Restoration Team's website.
The last program to be returned to the archive was a copy of "The Lion", in 1999.
