Rediscovered Dr. Who (Troughton!)
9 new Dr. Who Episodes were discovered earlier this year in Nigeria. The remastered versions were screened recently and they will be available for sale this week on iTunes.
Amongst them are Web of Fear
Also discovered was Enemy of the World.
Unfortunately I seem to be blocked from both the iTunes store
and AOL; the former because I haven't been on in a year and everything
has been reset. In the latter case this is because AOL MAIL is down.
This means that I cant get my confirmation E-mail from iTunes and thus can't see the episode.
It's almost like some malevolent force was trying to stop me from seeing the Doctor....but who or what that could be is unclear...

... a well regarded 6 part story which is the first appearance of the Brigadier and is actually the direct prequel to certain recent plot points in the current series.
Also discovered was Enemy of the World.
...which looks quite silly.
Despite their limited budgets, several of the Troughton and early Pertwee episodes used the black and white medium to great effect.
UPDATE!:
In the comments to this post, the Mysterious Mr. Will informed us that I was sufficiently behind the curve that my "This week" was actually last week. This means that the recently discovered Dr. Who episodes are on iTunes now!

These were released last Thursday, so I had marathon on Saturday. "Web" is still missing episode #3, which (aside from a shot of his legs in #2) is the first appearance of Col. Lethbridge-Stewart. "Enemy" is being VERY well received. What we couldn't tell from the audio was just how well directed this one was. Oh, and all the Pertwee episodes were made in color. For awhile, only b&w copies survived of some of them, but they've all had their color restored for the DVD releases.

Thanks!
I did not know that.
I always thought that several of the Pertwee eps were B&W to begin with. My VHSs lied to me!
