Missing Episodes And Speculation (Part 2)
Speculation was a key theme of my retrospective part 1 article. Is Matt Smith leaving? Who will be the Twelfth Doctor? Will classic Doctors be appearing at all? Which missing classic episodes have been found? It's on that vein that I continue. After October's wonderful present in 'The Enemy Of The World' and all but one episode of 'The Web Of Fear' being returned, rumours persist that there are still more classic stories waiting in the wings. Take this snippet from Novemebr 10th (just 2 days after trailer 2 was released).
It's not very often that a famous celebrity appears on Amazon's discussion page to lend their weight to opinions on a particular DVD release, let alone anything related to Doctor Who missing episodes, but it appears that yesterday actor David Threfall did just that.Being an industry insider you'd expect him to know far more than the average internet rumour-monger, but what David does reveal appears to correlate with the ninety episodes haul, but in far more detail than before. Even if David does elaborate upon such details as episodes of 'Masterplan' stuck together etc I'm still dubious about all this and always will be (!) Equally, I'm dubious that this is the 'Shameless' actor himself, yet I've been reliably informed by two talent agents that this is he, and David has no qualms about doing down to earth stuff such as Amazon discussion/reviews.

here. The lost episodes of the Dalek Masterplan? Are we in store for more birthday surprises? True or not,I think fans are certainly holding out hope for more Hartnell and Troughton!
