Have any missing episodes been found since "Tomb of the Cybermen"?

No complete episodes, no. However, numerous clips of various durations
from missing episodes have been found, many of which will be included on
the forthcoming "The Ice Warriors" video.

And if anybody out there, knows absolutely anything, remotely linked to
missing episodes,
do yourself, and every single doctor Who fan out there a favour, and tell
someone. Every
Who fan deserves the right to see these episodes at least one more time, or
a first time
for many people ( including me ). Even if you don't return them for the
BBC, at least return
them for every Doctor Who fan. It wasn't created for just a few people to
hold the episodes,
it was created for everybody to see the episodes. If you know something,
only you can do
something about it. Why not do the right thing, and etch yourself in fandom
forever.
Maybe one day, we shall see one more missing episode. Perhaps a daft,
stupid hope,
and one that may never come true, but it's just a hope. And if we stop
hoping, and dreaming,
then the chances become less.

Oh, it's not stupid-IIRC the BBC have several duplicates of episodes
they already held-eg Planet of the Daleks 4, 5 + 6 (but NOT 3!!!!) from
Kuwait in 1993-and there may well be more episodes around.

Ah-herm!!! - the episodes came from Dubai actually. And in 1992.
And the BBC (actually BBC Enterprises - the film and videotape library were
never informed or consulted on the return, or what to do about the tapes)
junked the 2-inch tapes a matter of days after receiving them without
checking a) whether the episodes were of superior quality to the ones the
library held, and b) whether the contents of the boxes matched the labels!!
And it was not just the above three episodes that were returned - about
40+ 2-inch PAL tapes of DW were returned in total, just to sit in an
external loading bay, getting rained on, untill they were chucked
*unchecked* into a skip, and trashed.
And all this after the BBC had paid several *hundreds* of pounds to have
the tapes airfreighted from Dubai!!!
*If* there was - say - an episode of DW in PAL that was amongst this batch
that the BBC only held in NTSC or b&w, then it too was discarded
(allegedly).
Regards,
Richard.

I can honestly say that I have never seen a single piece of evidence to
suggest that missing episodes are held in private hands. The idea of a
'missing episodes club is a typical paranoid invention by those who truly
want to believe.

"Those who truly want to believe" ... X-Files reference! ("I want to
believe") ... I have it!
The missing episodes are all held by aliens from Zeta Reticuli who
have come to Earth to perform gross physical experiments on human
beings in order to find the one with two hearts.
Don't ask me why. They're weird alien guys.

*1992* you say?

Un-FUCKing-believable.

Well, the site where I read this said Kuwait 1993, but a lot of the
details there conflict with better researched articles such as your one
in DWM last year.

How ridiculous! To think that in 1992 the BBC STILL didn't have proper
interarchival communications!

Again, this story sounds so absurd that it must be true! A lot of
stories about episodes that HAVE been returned state that they had the
wrong labels on them, and that several episodes such as Tenth Planet:3
were nearly junked for the same reasons, and yet noone ever thought to
bolt that stable door to prevent even more horses bolting!

Been here for a *very* long time, you mean? That's *their* story.

Bizarrely enough, I think that's where Barney and Betty had been when
they was took.

It is, isn't it?? But it happened (although for the very best of reasons,
I can't divulge my sources)!!!

Someone should tell them they're looking for hearts in all the wrong
places.

AHAHAHAHAHAH! That is one of my favorite lines from South Park, sorry

believe.

Yes, but I heard from my sister's friend's cousin, who knows a janitor at
the BBC, that that's exactly what they pay you to say...

From what I've seen here, the BBC doesn't even pay him to say the new
release of The Ice Warriors is a work of such complete and
unadulterated genius it makes Michaelangelo's David look like some sad
bloke showing off his knackers.
