1. The Tenth Planet (Story 029, 1966, Episode 4 of 4 missing)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLQNWr-HI2o WHY WE WANT IT: We have parts one, two and three. Is asking for part four really just that over demanding? Come on, TV gods, give us this one! It introduces the Cybermen and sends off the First Doctor. Its almost as historically important as the very first episode of the series! Plus, ARGH, we have almost all of it, but not the ending! Its not fair! Its just not fair! CHANCE FOR RECOVERY: ??? Who can say? This one is really, really sought after. Its easily the most desired of all the stories, especially since we do have the first three parts. Because of those parts, I imagine that theres a decent chance that we could, in theory, find this one. But that said, its been sought after for about three decades now, and hasnt turned up. Part of me believes that if it was ever going to, it would have done so by now. I still maintain hope, however, and I really hope that, if nothing else, we get an animated version on DVD. Either way, I want something, darn it. I want to see this story! BONUS: A fun documentary that is now, happily, outdated. We've recovered 4 episodes since this was made. Not a lot, true, but progress never the less! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTujXxXdaXc
