22 Feb 2014: 50th Anniversary of Marco Polo: The Roof of the World

[Candlelight]

For those playing the game at home of recreating the first broadcasts of Doctor Who will hit the first black hole on Feb 22 with the first episode of Marco Polo, which is of course missing from the BBC archives.

It should be interesting for those who believe in the rumour of Marco having been recovered and the BBC are waiting for Saturday to reveal it. I've only been mildly "agnostic" about the whole affair given Marco, Enemy and Web were all rumoured together and two thirds of that (sometimes rather specific) rumour came true.

Still, regardless I may listen to the audio this weekend.

I actually just recently watched the Reconstruction for the first time (And I'm on Pertwee at the moment [Up to The Three Doctors]), but, the Loose Canon Recon is quite good and has color Telesnaps, and is available on Youtube and Dailymotion, so, for those who can't afford to get the Audio (For some reason the last time I checked the Audios for the missing Serials were pretty expensive on Big Finish), or would prefer the Telesnaps Recon to just the Audio, search Youtube or Dailymotion and you should be able to find it.

As brilliant as the recons are, I'm just not a fan of them. And they're not real telesnaps, just coloured on-set photographs. The snaps were found in 2004 after the recon had been completed.
