Get the mugs, er' fan base, to buy animations then voila! we've recovered new episodes - the mugs, er' fan base, will obviously want the real thing.

Just wouldn't work the other way round. New 'lost' episodes then animated episodes of stories just released.

I was in one of the local charity shops last week, and they had a 12 inch ceramic police box piggy bank on the shelf for Â£1.50

I said to the manageress: "Why market it as a police box? Why not call it a TARDIS, then you can whack an extra Â£1.50 on the price because 'Doctor Who' fans will buy anything related to the show"!

They're certainly not wasting time on Morris anymore.

In all honesty, I think the most we can hope for now is the odd extant episode like TUM2 or Galaxy 4 episode 3. If the animations can all be as good as Macra, I'm all for them.

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

Let's Kill Hilter

(The Tardis is out of control...Again!)
The Doctor: You've shot it! You shot my Tardis! You shot the console!
Mels: It's your fault!
The Doctor: Argh! How's it my fault?
Mels: You said guns didn't work in this place. You said we're in a state of temporal grace.
The Doctor: That was a clever lie, you idiot! Anyone could tell that was a clever lie.

***********************************

Hitler: Thank you, whoever you are. I think you have just saved my life.
The Doctor: Believe me, it was an accident.

***********************************

Hitler: He was going to kill me.
Rory: Shut up, Hitler!
The Doctor: Rory, take Hitler and put him in that cupboard over there. Now do it.
Rory: Right. Putting Hitler in the cupboard. Cupboard, Hitler. Hitler, cupboard. Come on.
Hitler: But I am the Fuhrer!
Rory: Right, in you go!

*****************************************

Amy: How bad is it? Rory, what can we do?
Rory: Just keep her conscious. Stay with us, Mels.
The Doctor: Hey, look at me. Just hold on.
Mels: I used to dream about you. All those stories Amy used to tell me.
The Doctor: What stories? Tell me what stories. Vampires in Venice. That's a belter.
Mels: When I was little, I was going to marry you.
The Doctor: Good idea, let's get married. You stay alive and I'll marry you, deal? Deal?
Mels: Shouldn't you ask my parents permission?
The Doctor: As soon as you're well, I'll get on the phone.
Mels: Might as well do it now, since they're both right here. Penny in the air. Penny drops.
(Mels, obviously short for Melody rather than Melissa, begins to regenerate.)
Rory: What the hell's going on?
The Doctor: Back! Back! Back! Get back!
Mels: Last time I did this, I ended up a toddler in the middle of New York.
Amy: Okay, Doctor, explain what is happening, please.
The Doctor: Mels. Short for
Mels: Melody.
Amy: Yeah. I named my daughter after her.
The Doctor: You named your daughter after your daughter.
Mels: It took me years to find you two. I'm so glad I did. And you see? It all worked out in the end, didn't it. You got to raise me after all.
Amy: You're Melody?
Rory: But if she's Melody, that means that she's also
Mels: Shut up, Dad. I'm focusing on a dress size. (And Mels transforms into -) River: Oh! Oh! Oh! Whoa! Right, let's see, then. Ooo, it's all going on down there, isn't it? The hair! Oh, the hair. It just doesn't stop, does it? Look at that. Everything changes. Oh, but I love it. I love it! I'm all sort of mature. (She strikes a Mrs Robinson pose.) Hello, Benjamin.
The Doctor: Who's Benjamin?
River: The teeth. The teeth, the teeth! Oh, look at them. (River pins the Doctor against Hitler's desk.) Watch out that bow tie. Excuse me, you lot. I need to weigh myself.
(She runs off into a side room.)
Amy: That's Melody.
Rory: That's River Song.
River: Who's River Song?
The Doctor: Spoilers.
River: Spoilers? What's spoilers? Hang on, just something I have to check.
Rory: Is anybody else finding today just a bit difficult? I'm getting a sort of banging in my head.
Amy: Yeah, I think that's Hitler in the cupboard.
Rory: That's not helping.
The Doctor: This isn't the River Song we know yet. This is her right at the start. Doesn't even know her own name.
River [OC] Oh, that's magnificent! I'm going to wear lots of jodhpurs.

**********************************

The Doctor: Rule one. The Doctor lies.

The cover to Justin Richards BBC Past Doctor Adventure Grave Matter, published in May 2000.

Picked up two DW books (pb).

Matrix (7th)

The Face Of The Enemy (The Master) which apparently takes place whilst the Doc and Jo were off to Peladon! Canon? What canon?

Fair point Dem. The Space Pirates certainly wouldnâ€™t be top of my list, but it would make a season 6 boxset more likely. Similarly, The Crusades would complete season 2 - although again thatâ€™s another human based story.

The Daleks Masterplan or Evil Of The Daleks would be excellent choices. Iâ€™ve seen the animated clip from The Wheel In Space and it looks great, so that could be a possibility.

Any animation of lost episodes would be more than welcome. Iâ€™d still like to see Fury From The Deep though!

From what i imagine, Mojo, Fury From the Deep may well be my favourite Troughton story. Thing is i've only read the Target novel, i've not even heard the audio, so it's difficult for me to really say.

It would be my most wanted story to be found, along with Masterplan cos it's such a long story.
