But with The Daleks' Master Plan, the story was not sold overseas.

Censors in Australia and New Zealand deemed it too violent, and without their buy-in, selling to other markets was not profitable.

Combined with the move towards colour, the black and white story was thought to have little future value and consigned to the bin.

Every recovered episode is to be celebrated, but damn. This is impressive.

My partner and I are both completely unsurprised that they were retained in a private collection primarily composed of film and video of trains and canals.

Who knows what’s left to be found in the estate collections of early television buffs.

Thats what this project is trying to address, before it all goes to estate clearances or some clueless person puts them in the skip.
