Missing, Presumed Lost In Time
THE most valuable of all the missing Dr Who episodes has not been seen for 32 years. Tenth Planet ends with the first "regeneration", when the actor William Hartnell transforms into Patrick Troughton. The device was introduced in order to continue the series when Hartnell fell ill.
Douglas Sutherland, a Dr Who expert, lists a number of other keenly sought-after episodes, such as Celestial Toymaker, a 1965 Hartneli classic in which the Doctor must defeat a genius toymaker in a board game to win back the Tardis.
Dalek-lovers dream that the Dalek Masterplan will resurface. A 12-episode epic from 1965, only one programme is in existence. Highlander, a 1966 Troughton episode set in Scotland, remains controversial. The Doctor materialises in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden, where the bravehearts are suffering from marauding English forces. In Faceless Ones, from 1967, the sneaky Daleks trick a plumber into carting off the Tardis in a lorry.
