Presumably, the removal of the comment about the lack of telesnaps was due to the discovery of the video of the whole episode. So the fact remains true: telesnaps have not been found. But whether this fact is still relevant now that the episode is not missing anymore is a question. I would say that this fact remains relevant '''only''' if it is known that telesnaps for all other episodes (missing or not) exist, or at least if it is known that telesnaps exist for all first-doctor and second-doctor stories. Then the lack of telesnaps for this one episode is strange and, hence, potentially significant. I don't think telesnaps are normally mentioned in Tardis Data Core for episodes that are not missing, so I don't know what their status is for the preserved/recovered episodes.[[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:14, July 18, 2015 (UTC) | Presumably, the removal of the comment about the lack of telesnaps was due to the discovery of the video of the whole episode.

:After some poking around, it turns out that there are other missing episodes without surviving telesnaps, e.g., the 4th episode of [[Marco Polo (TV story)|Marco Polo]]. Seemingly, most surviving/recovered serials have no mention of telesnaps whatsoever (I made a non-representative checking in the 1st season). But sometimes, even for them, it is commented that telesnaps exist for some but not all of the episodes (e.g., [[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]). So the fact that there are telesnaps of some episodes but not of others does not seem to be surprising in any way and is not treated as such in other stories. For instance, telesnaps for Marco Polo have been retrieved from the private collection of its director, but no question is asked why he did not have them for all the episodes. Thus, I tend to agree with 188.173.163.39 that this small tidbit can be safely deleted. If not, however, I would at least propose to rephrase it to state the fact, something like "Telesnaps exist for all episodes, with the exception of episode four."[[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:00, July 20, 2015 (UTC) | |||
