CLIFFHANGERS

 CLIFFHANGERS
 
Whilst not a usual place to look for surviving material from missing episodes, such material has been known to survive in the form of cliffhangers or reprisals from preceding or following installments. Due to the nature of Doctor Who several seconds of footage from a missing episodes could have been repeated the following week to remind viewers of what had taken place seven days earlier. Thanks to Simeon D Carter, the list below has been tallied to nail down what could survive from a cliffhanger ending.
