Below is an attempt to track 16mm film prints as they travelled from
country to country in a bid to work out a possible tally per story. Using
information gathered from various sources I have built the table below, based
on known documentation, bicycling routes used by other stories and likely
scenarios. In some cases I have simply left the potential maximum number of
prints needed to cover that story’s voyage around the globe.
For Hartnell
and Troughton, I have chosen to only list the 26 stories directly affected by
the junkings of the 1970s. For Pertwee I have only listed the countries which
received PAL colour master tapes and
have colour episodes missing. Below that are the episodes which are edited, and
episodes which only exist as inferior Suppressed Field recordings.
Special thanks
must once again go to Jon Preddle who helped shape this page. Please visit his BroaDWcast
website for a (much) more detailed
analysis.
**** DISCLAIMER – PLEASE READ ****
This is merely my attempt to join the dots and give a possible indication
of what may have happened during the early years of Doctor Who’s broadcasts
across the planet. This should not be taken as gospel, as only a few documented
events are actually known to have happened. This is – and probably always will
be – a work in progress…
BLUE denotes documentation exists to back
up event
GREEN denotes supposition
based on likely scenario
RED denotes fate unknown.

For Marco Polo and The Reign of Terror, only the Sierra Leone prints were Stored
Field, the rest were Suppressed Field. For The Crusade, the Barbados-Jamaica-Ethiopia and Sierra Leone
chains were Stored Field, the rest Suppressed Field.
From Galaxy 4 onwards, it is generally
believed all BBC prints in circulation were Stored Field (the latest
surviving known Suppressed Field print is The Chase 1, so unless another such print from a later episode is
discovered I will consider The Time
Meddler 1 as the beginning of the exclusively Stored Field era).

JON PERTWEE
From Spearhead
from Space onwards Doctor Who was filmed and broadcast in PAL 625-Line colour.
For overseas sales, many countries were still broadcasting in black & white
and so the standard telerecording service employed during the 1960s continued.
For countries that broadcast in NTSC 525-Line television (such as America), the
BBC would ‘standards convert’ the episodes so that the PAL serial would play on
an NTSC television, and were sent 2 inch quad masters.
For the purposes of this website, 14 of the 24 Jon
Pertwee stories are either partially or completely affected by missing colour
instalments. Unfortunately, most of these serials were never sold in their
original PAL colour format. To put it another way, to make this list a serial
would have to meet two very important conditions:
* That the serial in question is missing one or
more episodes in its original PAL
625-Line colour format, and
* That the overseas broadcaster purchased the
serial in its original PAL 625-Line
colour format
Thus, the only stories that meet these criteria are
mentioned below. I have elected to mention initial broadcasts only (IE when colour
masters were still around, etc).
