Episode 100: Missing Episodes and is the Doctor in Distress?

Episode 100: Missing Episodes and is the Doctor In Distress?  With Brandon Peters and Eluides Pagan.

Episode 100 of The Doctor Who Collectors Podcast is a celebration of reaching a major milestone. The episode opens with heartfelt messages and congratulations from friends of the podcast, fellow collectors, and several well-known figures from the world of Doctor Who. These tributes reflect the impact the podcast has had on the collecting community over the past one hundred episodes. The podcast itself has now reached the century mark after years of exploring every corner of Doctor Who merchandise and memorabilia.

The centerpiece of the episode is a discussion on one of the most fascinating topics in Doctor Who fandom: the missing episodes. Joining Larry VanMersbergen are Eludis Pagan and Brandon Peters, who share their thoughts on the continuing search for lost episodes from the 1960s. The conversation examines the history of missing episodes, the role of private collectors, recent discoveries, and why the hunt for lost Doctor Who material continues to capture the imagination of fans around the world.

As the episode draws to a close, attention turns to 1985 and the fan-produced charity single "Doctor in Distress," recorded during the campaign to save Doctor Who from cancellation. The song serves as a reminder that the series has faced uncertain times before, including the show's eventual cancellation in 1989, yet has always managed to endure thanks to the dedication of its fans.

The episode concludes with an optimistic discussion about the future of Doctor Who. Despite ongoing debates about the direction of the series, the panel reflects on the resilience of the franchise and the passion of its fan community. Just as fans rallied behind the show during difficult periods in the 1980s, there is confidence that Doctor Who will continue to regenerate, evolve, and inspire future generations.

Episode 100 is both a celebration of the podcast's achievement and a tribute to the enduring spirit of Doctor Who fandom—looking back at the past while remaining hopeful for the future.

Episode 92: 1988 Classic Hardcovers: The Final Chapter with Tony Whitt

When Virgin publishing purchased WH Allen, the hardcover books were losing money.  In June, 1988 it was decided to stop publishing cloth bound Dr. Who books. The final novel, "The Smugglers," was limited to 1000 copies.  That makes it extremely hard to find. The other titles were random.  153 hardcovers were published from 1974-1988 including reprints. Owning a whole set is a lofty goal. I am missing 4 titles as of now.  Loch Ness Monster 1st edition, The Three Doctors 2nd edition, Dinosaur Invasion 2nd edition, and The Time Warrior.  I doubt I will find them.  Joining me is Tony Whitt, host and producer of The Target Book Club Podcast.  Keep Collecting!
