The official announcement arrived that the episodes “The Nightmare Begins” and “Devil’s Planet” have been recovered, the first and third episodes, respectively, of the serial “The Daleks’ Master Plan,” which aired between December 1965 and January 1966. It was the longest serial in the entire classic “Doctor Who” series, with the First Doctor and Steven Taylor. Over a decade has passed since the last announcement of the recovery of lost episodes, which helps keep alive hopes that, as in this case, there are still missing episodes in private collections.

In this case, the passionate volunteer group Film is Fabulous found the episodes during one of their activities, where they recover old films from private collectors. These films are sometimes put up for sale, especially after the collectors’ deaths. You can follow their activities on the group’s website and even make a donation to support their activities.
