Doctor Who missing episodes
Many episodes of the long-running British science fiction television programme Doctor Who are missing, with no known film or videotape copies existing. They were erased (or "junked") by the BBC during the 1960s and 1970s for a variety of commercial and space-saving reasons. In all, 108 of 253 episodes produced during the first six years of the programme are not currently held in the BBC's archives, although the situation was much worse in the past before episodes were recovered from a variety of sources.

Ah. I didn't go through all of them (way too many!), any my random spot-checks all turned up positive -- I must have just been lucky.
Y'all have moved on to Dr. Who, but I'm still bouncing over New Robin Hood! Eeeeee!
I wonder if it'll be good? I'll watch it regardless, I must admit.
The new Robin Hood makes me mostly feel sad about Robin of Sherwood. I may squee more closer to the time.
Why, why, WHY are there only 5 Third Doctor episodes on DVD? *weeps*.
I heard that "Inferno," the alternate-Earth ep with the 3rd Doctor and Liz, and creepy Mirror!Brigadier, is coming out on DVD later this year in the UK and possibly here as well.
It's my favorite Pertwee-era ep, so I'm definitely looking forward to it!

That sounds sensible, although I admit that, after rewatching some Robin of Sherwood, it doesn't hold up that well anymore. Red filters everywhere!
I still love Ray Winstone, though.

I think I noticed the red filters at the time. Haven't rewatched, though. RoS was the first show that got me thinking so hard about it when it wasn't on. I'd have been neck-deep in the fandom if I'd known how to find it. I need to buy those DVDs.
I only remember the second Robin, and I think everyone preferred the first one. Nothing holds a candle to Maid Marion and her Merry Men though, of course.

I was
so
fucking besotted. That having been said, I did like the second one, and didn't react as if a shark had been jumped. But, DAMN. Michael fucking Praed. He then went to seed, but judging from the Mile High I saw a little ago, has gotten back on the pretty track.
Michael Praed was pretty and intense enough, but my favorites were probably Will and Nasir. Both of whom (Ray Winstone and Mark Ryan) have gone on to relatively successful careers, as well.
ita, what I think you'll notice most clearly is the editing and the fight sequences. We've just been spoiled in the last 20 years as those have gotten tighter and tighter, and more and more polished looking. RoS really suffers by comparison, although for the time I expect they were pretty good. Also, I still love how dirty everyone was.
