| + | #REDIRECT [[Chains Intro]] |
| − | {{TOC right}}
| |
| − | There are potentially dozens of different paths the film prints of the [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton stories]] could have taken as they were bicycled from country to country over the years.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This table summarises a series of '''possible distribution paths''' taken by groups of consecutive stories, taking into account some of the available "film traffic" information – with a smattering of educated guesswork!
| |
| − | | |
| − | We have tried to keep each "chain" as simple as possible without resorting to the complicated exchange of different countries supplying different stories to different recipients; generally, the same grouping of consecutive stories would have been bicycled from the same provider to the same recipient, as opposed to stories being split up and sent to different recipients.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The groups have been placed in roughly the order by which the first country in each group was first sold and/or aired the series.
| |
| − | * Within some of these "chains" there may have been an intermediary, such as a distribution agency or even the BBC itself, which received the films from Country A and was responsible for sending them on to Country B.
| |
| − | * If a country was in the distribution network of [[TIE Ltd|Television International Enterprises Ltd]], it is marked as such. (We have assumed that prints distributed by TIE were only ever bicycled to other countries within TIE's distribution circuit.)
| |
| − | * Final fates of the films in each chain are also noted but only when the actual '''definite''' fate is '''proven'''.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Keeping the bicycling routes as simple as possible, if we assume that country X generally '''always''' supplied country Y with its prints, then:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Australia – always had its own prints, and returned all but a few to the BBC in 1975
| |
| − | *[[Zambia]] and [[Sierra Leone]] likely shared prints; of note, [[Nigeria]] acquired [[The War Machines]] from [[Singapore]] in 1973, which suggests perhaps the other African countries [[Zambia]] and [[Sierra Leone]] no longer still had their prints by then
| |
| − | *The New Zealand censors classified these episodes between May and July 1968, which was before or during the broadcasts in [[Barbados]] and [[Zambia]], so New Zealand's prints cannot have been sourced from either of those countries
| |
| − | *It's a matter of recorded fact that [[New Zealand]] sent its prints to [[Singapore]] in 1972; since New Zealand did not have [[The Gunfighters]], [[Singapore]]'s prints of that must have been supplied from elsewhere (from [[Sierra Leone]] perhaps?)
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''PATRICK TROUGHTON STORIES'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Keeping the bicycling routes as simple as possible, if we assume that country X generally '''always''' supplied country Y with its prints, even after an interim period of several years, then:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * [[Australia]] – always had its own prints, and returned all but a few to the BBC in 1975
| |
| − | * [[Hong Kong]], [[Singapore]] and [[New Zealand]] '''probably''' always got their own sets of prints, if only for the fact that the censorship and/or airdates across all three countries either overlap or are far too close once one factors in the time required to transport in, prepare, screen, and transport out prints in time to meet the next country's schedule
| |
| − | * [[Gibraltar]] may have got '''all''' its prints from the same source – [[Singapore]], over a two year period
| |
| − | * [[Zambia]] may have got '''all''' its prints from the same source – [[Hong Kong]], with an interim period of three years
| |
| − | * [[Nigeria]] may have got '''all''' its prints from the same source – [[Zambia]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Notes====
| |
| − | *[1] - There is a window of only three to four months between the airdates in [[Barbados]] and [[Zambia]], but [[Zambia]] could well have received its prints before [[Barbados]], but scheduled the serials to screen much later; therefore we have not factored in that [[Barbados]] may have sent its prints to [[Zambia]], although it could have done!
| |
| − | *[2] – It's possible that some of the stray Patrick Troughton episodes kept by the BBC and those recovered from UK film collectors were all from the same source: [[Singapore]] or [[Gibraltar]].
| |
| − | **A possible scenario on that note is this:
| |
| − | ***After [[Singapore]] had finished with all the Troughtons ([[The Highlanders]] to [[The War Games]]), the films were sent back to the BBC. The BBC then sent the films for [[The Mind Robber]] to [[The War Games]] to [[Gibraltar]], and started disposing of the prints held for [[The Highlanders]] to [[The Tomb of the Cybermen]] (although some of the films were "rescued" from that fate, such as [[The Faceless Ones]] part three and [[The Evil of the Daleks]] episode two). Some of the films allocated for junking, such as [[The Underwater Menace]] part three and [[The Moonbase]] parts two and four, were - for whatever reason - retained.
| |
| − | ***With no readily available prints of the early season four Troughtons, the next sale to [[Gibraltar]] was for [[The Abominable Snowmen]] to [[The Dominators]] only. Once [[Gibraltar]] was done with all the stories, they were returned to the BBC as per routine. (Five of the seven season six stories were subsequently sent to [[Nigeria]] or [[Zambia]].) Most of the remaining prints were junked (although some of the films were "rescued" from that fate, such as [[The Abominable Snowmen]] episode two and [[The Wheel in Space]] part three), while a small selection (such as [[The Enemy of the World]] part three, [[The Web of Fear]] part one, and six episodes from [[The Invasion]]) were – for whatever reason - retained.
| |
| − | ***All these retained odds and sods were the episodes that the '''Lively Arts''' researchers viewed in 1976 and which were later "found" to be held at the BBC in 1978...
