Well, that was quite a week wasn’t it? Put aside for one second the fact that we’ve still got two of the biggest episodes of NuWho to look forward to this year, the BBC go and pull the rug out from under our feet and give us two classic Second Doctor stories that we never thought we’d have the pleasure of ever seeing again!
The BFI event on Thursday was an enormous success with Deborah Watling and Fraser Hines on hand to oversee the first viewing of the episode in 45 years, also in attendance was writer and sometimes guest star for Doctor Who, Mark Gatiss.
The excited actor also revealed to Kasterborous’ Gareth Kavanagh that The Web of Fear, one of the stories that were recovered, has inspired his story from the upcoming series of Sherlock:
I am obsessed with the Tube and I think it all comes from that story when I was a kid…the first episode of Sherlock is explicitly about the London Underground for exactly that reason – because I love ‘The Web of Fear’!
The Web of Fear takes place in the gloomy tunnels of the London Underground and finds the Second Doctor and his friends up against the Great Intelligence, who presumably laid out this careful plan thanks to events from 2012’s The Snowmen.
Quite how Gatiss’s episode will compare is anyone’s guess but it’s good to know that he’s injecting some Doctor Who flavour into his other series!
You can hear more from the Mark Gatiss as well as Frazer Hines, Deborah Watling and many others at the missing episodes event in this week’s podKast, available soon.

Amanda Abbington has confirmed that she is to play Mary Morstan in the third series of Sherlock.
Martin Freeman's real-life partner had long been rumoured to be portraying Morstan - John Watson's love interest and eventual wife in the Arthur Conan Doyle books.
Abbington revealed to The Scotsman that her character has "fantastic secrets" and comes between Watson and Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) as a "kind of third wheel".
"I remember doing a scene very early on with Martin and Ben, and I was standing in between them and I thought, 'I really have to up my game, this is proper'," she said.
"They really bounce off each other. When I was at the read-through, I remember watching them, and the chemistry between them is just amazing. They do have this beautiful relationship, so getting in between that - which is what Mary does, she becomes this kind of third wheel - was scary.
"Also, the fans love these two together, so I'm sure Mary won't be particularly liked by them, but I hope that on the whole people really like her, because she's a great character and she has some fantastic secrets."
Abbington went on to reveal that co-creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss had always had her in mind for the character.
Speaking of how she landed the part, she recalled: "We were at Mark Gatiss's house when 'The Hounds of Baskerville' first came on the telly. Afterwards they went into the kitchen and were sitting talking about the next series. I went in and sat with them.
"It had been mooted that I would be in it, might have a little part in it. They were talking about who might play Mary and I was like, 'So, who are you thinking of?' and they said 'You'.
"I got very emotional because it just seemed so amazing, just such a gift."

The first chance to see the new series of Sherlock will occur this year. On Sunday December 15 2013 at 13:00GMT, the British Film Institute will show S3E1: The Empty Hearse in a public screening at the National Film Theatre on London’s Southbank, ahead of the yet to be announced first television airing in the UK on the BBC. The premiere will be followed by a Q&A with members of the cast and crew who will be in attendance.
The BFI listing also carries the first synopsis for the opening episode of the new series: Two years after the devastating events of ‘The Reichenbach Fall’, John appears to have got on with his life. New horizons and romance beckon. But, with London under threat of a devastating terrorist attack, Sherlock is about to take John at his word, staging his resurrection with all the theatricality that comes so naturally to him. If Sherlock thinks everything will be just as he left it, though, he’s in for a very big surprise…
Public Tickets are set to go sale on November 12 2013 at 11:30GMT. BFI members can book from November 6 2013 at 11:30GMT. The screening is effectively a repeat of the premiere of S2E1: A Scandal in Belgravia, which premiered at the BFI on December 7 2011, almost a month before the first television airing on January 1 2012. Tickets for that event sold out within hours of being released. -

even though that was from last season - two years ago - it ended up an accurate guess for this time round.

There could be several versions - however if you read through the thread you will probably find the answers you need.
