It's all Rills and Chumblies and Ben and Polly and nothing hurts.

I'd be rather disappointed if you didn't know the news already, but here it is again, just in case.

Galaxy 4: Episode Two and The Underwater Menace: Episode Two have been found. The first new episodes to be recovered since The Daleks' Master Plan: Episode Two in 2004.
(source: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2011-12-11/doctor-who-two-long-lost-episodes-uncovered)

Yep. The lost episode count now stands at 106. It feels good to say that. 106. It excited me to no end typing that.

I love The Underwater Menace. I don't care if it's perceived as a terrible episode. It has Ben and Polly and Fish People and Jamie and Patrick Troughton. I don't think anything else matters.

I have the audio release of Galaxy Four, but haven't gotten around to listening to it. I may do so now. This is all so exciting!

I see the Radio Times is reporting leads on 'new' lost episodes too. Now that these episodes have shown up, nearly FIFTY years later, I am hopeful. Incredibly excited. (Fingers crossed for The Evil of the Daleks and/or The Daleks' Master Plan...)

(Was that as jumbled as I read it to be? If so, blame it on the excitement.)

Also, NUZZINK IN ZE VORLD CAN SHTOP ME NOW!
(It HAD to be said...)

They have recovered a Patrick Troughton episode with Ben and Polly and where he wears a silly hat!

I mean, what more can we ask for? Oh, wait, we have an actual episode with Vicki and the Chumblies, where she patronises the Doctor. ♥

It does make you want ALL THE REST NOW PLEASE too, though, doesn't it? ;-/ (I want Marco Polo, The Myth Makers, The Massacre, The Power of the Daleks, The Highlanders, The Macra Terror and ALL OF THEM, DAMMIT. :-D)

Yay!!!!

And :LOL:

The Trought in a funny hat. Gold. I love funny hats. They're rather awesome. That's why I'm looking forward to The Reign of Terror. That hat is the most amazing hat in the history of Doctor Who.

And I love Vicki also. And Galaxy 4 sounds rather interesting. The rest of the episode? I rather hope it's found. The Chumblies and the Drahvins and more Vicki, it just sounds like the perfect episode.

I do WANT them all, actually. The Massacre is high on my list. I've listened to the audio of that story more than once. It's incredibly dark, and I love it when Who gets like that. (I also want Marco Polo, The Crusade, the fourth episode of The Tenth Planet, just all of them. ALL OF THEM! And if I can't have that, all of them with Ben and Polly...)

Heh, yes, the Doctor has always seemed to like a silly hat. :-)

Vicki is just great. And, yes, ALL OF THEM would be lovely. Probably completely impossible, but we have to dream, otherwise we'd just have to cry instead. :-/

I'm okay with not seeing The Feast of Steven again... but I think that's my limit. I demand them all :P!

But in all honesty, I'm rather hopeful that at least a few more stories show up. Hopefully completing mostly complete stories.

Like I said, there's always Zimbabwe. Because The Sun's reliable like that.

But it has the Meddling Monk and 1920s Hollywood and silliness, and the Doctor, Sara and Steven drinking champagne in the TARDIS. I am not sure I want to listen to that, but if I can watch Hartnell and his excellent comedy timing, along with Peter Butterworth, well... Sounds like a nice Christmassy thing to me! ;-)

Yes. And, :lol:

That does sound tempting. Perhaps I shouldn't be too hasty in denouncing it. Plus, anything with Jean Marsh in is fine by me.
