I just read in isue #176 of DW Monthly that 10th Planet 4, The Invasion
1, and one other episode is somewhen in existence, but a group of select
people do NOT want others to enjoy it. If you are one of these people,
please for the sake of DW fans out there, return the episodes to the BBC
so that the rest of the fanship could enjoy these classics.

Thank you.
