In what would appear to be an astonishing set of revelations on Twitter, Doctor Who missing episode hunter and “super fan” Ian Lervine has blasted Phil Morris for a perceived lack of movement in the missing episodes saga.
Nothing any of us say or do is going to make the SLIGHTEST difference to what Phil Morris does. He is a law unto himself. I think it stinks.

1 of 3 - I waited three long years and kept my mouth tightly zipped. When I found out only nine were being returned I complained, to be told

2 of 3 - to publicly embrace it because if he saw everyone was praising him, he'd then hand back the rest. But here we are, eight months …

3 of 3 - after he returned the first 9, and no more have been returned to be restored, and worse nobody is doing anything to speed things up

Unfortunately for us, if he's emptied every archive in the world, there's now nothing left for the rest of us to find. He's been there first

So on the basis that nothing I say is going to make the blindest bit of difference anyway, I'm THROUGH being respectful & polite. I'm pissed

@zippy316 @TomSpilsbury There is a yawning chasm of difference between knowing unofficially and knowing OFFICIALLY.

It is now time it really was flushed out into the open. Enough subterfuge. Enough red herrings. Enough hushed whispers. Enough falsehoods.

Ian now delves into how he knew three years ago and suggests either Web and Enemy had already been found in that timeframe or at least positively located:
@Tegan_Jovanka No one single person told me. It was more like twelve. Plus a leaked e-mail full of facts,which came from BBC Radio Wiltshire
— Ian Levine (@IanLevine) January 27, 2014
@Tegan_Jovanka And three years ago, it was very very specific about The Enemy Of The World and The Web Of Fear. So yes we did know back then

@mpole_mike Whatever the legal rights, I don't believe either Morris or BBC Worldwide have the right to treat fans in such a cavalier manner
— Ian Levine (@IanLevine) January 27, 2014
@mpole_mike Its BBC Worldwide's legal abilities as opposed to their moral obligations. When Morris came to me in 2005 I never expected this.

For the avoidance of doubt,many of us heard the rumour in 2011. We heard much more in 2012 & kept our mouths shut. But it was never official

@rowdy74 @Tegan_Jovanka @anderscja It did last year. Bleeding Cool had the e-mail-in fact EVERYBODY did- their first article was based on it

@zippy316 @TomSpilsbury That’s a lie. We all knew, but without proof we could only guess at what we had learned. Tom knew when I did.
