I know, I was just being a turd
I'm really excited about the missing episodes possibly coming to light, the very few I remember watching as a child I've been unable to find anywhere so I'm assuming they're part of the "lost library." That being said, I hope there's more to come than just those this winter, some kind of 3 or 5 doctors special for the regen of Smiths doctor would be awesome.*

which missing episodes are these?

The first two doctors have either been found or reconstructed. The reconstructions are hard to watch because it's a series of pictures and some text on the screen explaining what is happening.

Whilst I have no doubt there are torrents of all sorts of Dr. Who episodes whizzing around the tubes that the internet, apparently, is made up of, it would be impossible for there to be torrents of all of the above episodes.

If you scroll down to the " Reconstruction" section of that link it lists the ones that have been done.

Despite these valiant/obsessive efforts -- MMV -- there are still several stories which are currently still "AWOL".

It's not impossible, I have them. while the released show is lost, the story was found and reconstructed. so the story isn't AWOL, as I've seen every story on that list.

Sure having the original video would be the ideal, the reconstructions at least let us enjoy the stories that may never be fully recovered.

Not to second guess you here, but if love to see a reconstruction of the smugglers. The only thing that exists is audio and behind tr scenes.

http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Missing_episodes

Some episodes have no real reconstructions.

You can't torrent what doesn't exist.

You should probably edit that since advocating piracy is against site rules.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/08/01/just-a-little-more-on-the-bbcs-new-doctor-who-announcement-show/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook


Here’s what I’ve been led to expect from Sunday night’s show.

Zoe Ball.
A live studio audience of fans, who were encouraged to come in Doctor Who cosplay.
A few previous Doctors as guests, taking part in a discussion of the show’s legacy.
The first footage from the 50th Anniversary special to be screened in the UK. It may be the same trailer I saw at Comic-Con.
Matt Smith and Steven Moffat interviews, including some pre-recorded stuff.
The new Doctor. Live.
A simultaneous broadcast on BBC America in the US.
At midnight tonight – about an hour and ten minutes from now – the BBC are going to update their Doctor Who microsite with a post about this special show. That story should include these quotes.

Steven Moffat:

The decision is made and the time has come to reveal who’s taking over the Tardis. For the last of the Time Lords, the clock is striking 12.

BBC Drama Controller Ben Stephenson:

We can’t wait to unveil the next Doctor with everyone live on BBC1 on Sunday night. Amongst all the speculation and betting, there has been lots of fun and intrigue at work as we’ve been using the codename Houdini as a decoy. It’s the biggest secret in showbiz, even those working with the new Doctor on other projects at the moment have no idea they are in the presence of the 12th incarnation.

Audience tickets to the show come with the following instruction:

Please dress to impress as this is a celebration.

It’s going to be a fun evening on Sunday.

Somehow I am less interested in watching a programme about how awesome Doctor Who will be, than in watching Doctor Who itself.

Maybe I am too old and boring.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

There had better be a damn good explanation for it being him. I'm thrilled. But he's already played Caecilus in the Fires of Pompeii and John Frobisher in Torchwood. Moffat had better come up with a good reason as to why the Doctor is regenerating into the appearance of someone he has met before. It was handwaved with Eve Myles' appearance in The Unquiet Dead by being "spatial genetic multiplicity". This needs a proper and precise explanation to quell the nerdrage brewing in many parts of the Internet.

However; if we do get to hear the Doctor poke his head round the TARDIS door and say "Come the feth in or feth the feth off!"

Even though there, to me, he looks like my my first Doctor. The (non canon) Doctor played by Peter Cushing. Still doesn't work on a personal level ( ) But whatcha gonna do?

"Prior to being cast as the Doctor, Baker had guest starred in the programme (as Commander Maxil in the Peter Davison serial Arc of Infinity), the only Doctor actor to have done so prior to taking the role. At one point in the serial, Maxil shoots the Doctor; Baker often jokes that he got the part of the Doctor by killing the incumbent. "

I never said it was. But this was before the days of the likes of IMDB where you can look up what someone has been in at the click of a button (such as why the "Marylin Manson in the Wonder Years" urban legend would never work today). Unless Baker ever brought it up, we may have never known. With a few people possibly saying "it sure looks like him" (such as with the Manson example above) but never truly able to know for sure.

They've already broken the fourth wall with this as they've acknowledged he was in Dr Who on the program just shown on BBC1. I mean, even if they make a nod to it during the regeneration scene (such as with 12 saying "Oh I've now got a very Roman nose!") that'll be good enough for me.

Things aren't any different now. Even with IMDB, google and Snopes, folks still fall for that crap all the time. Heck, do a google search for Marilyn Manson Wonder Years in the last month 10+ pages of results. And back in the day, they didn't have IMDB< but they had the Radio Times casts lists which were accessible in libraries. Crazy places that they are. I'm sure a good deal of the Who community knew all about the Baker bit.

I didn't see the program on BBC1, was it in universe or an interview show? According to previous posts, it was a live show with real life folks. It isn't breaking the fourth wall if it wasn't in universe.
