Plot summary
Just note for anyone who stops by, please keep the detailed plot summaries for serials containing lost episodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.111.76.31 (talk) 14:17, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Please see Manual of Style (writing about fiction). If readers need a high level of detail, there are the narrated soundtracks in the BBC Audiobooks range, the Target novelisations (several of which are now available as talking books), and quite a few reference books. -- Red rose64 (talk) 14:36, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

 * independent.co.uk put up an article confirming an hour ago... and just took it down. Lost in time indeed. Joegoodfriend (talk) 20:43, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Independent article back up. Are the mods on here going to be this pedantic the story exists in its entirety as does the Web of Fear bar episode 3 and if the sources who have been reporting these recoveries for months are to be believed there's a lot more to follow. Some real "power"ful material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.146.184 (talk) 22:32, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Patrick Troughton Doubled…
In addition to using split-screen, Patrick Troughton was doubled as both The Doctor and Salamander by the story’s stunt-man and fight arranger, Peter Diamond, to allow the two characters to fight while showing Troughton’s face (the scene was presumably shot twice, with a costume swap in the middle, and both versions intercut). Probably needs a citation, but could be added to the article. Jock123 (talk) 18:47, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Change to 625-line standard
The article currently states that the change from 405- to 625-line recording happened in episode 3. While reading the latest DWM (#466), it states there that the recording found for episode 1 was a 625-line recording. I therefore think a change should be done. -101090ABC (talk) 10:14, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The BBC possessed standards-conversion equipment at this time, so that programmes made for BBC1 could be repeated on BBC2 (which was never 405-line). This might be a standards-converted copy. -- Red rose64 (talk) 10:46, 16 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah but this story was never repeated by the Beeb, not even on BBC2 so they would have had no reason to make a copy of a 405 line episode 1 on 625 line tape. And a 405 line structure would still be evident in such a conversion just look at the Callan episodes that were 405 to 625 converted on the Network DVD of the b/w eps. And that would show up even more on a telerecording of such a tape, which means part one was recorded on 625 line vt originally. And no there would be no reason to do it for overseas sales either it wasn't till the 70s that vt was used for that.86.11.32.155 (talk) 01:24, 18 November 2013 (UTC)86.11.32.155 (talk) 01:19, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Newspaper article
The article is dated Friday August 16 2017, and is presented as an article from "last year" so it seems the episode takes place in 2018. Note that August 16 2017 will indeed be a Wednesday and not a Friday. 90.47.216.96 (talk) 12:56, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
