'Lord Montagu' documentary. 'Lord Montagu' documentary: Anti-gay persecution victim became successful entrepreneur and National Motor Museum founder On first blush, the life of a Lord of the Realm, a Peer to the English monarchy, a child born with an actual silver spoon in his mouth and an ancient estate to inherit, would seem wholly irrelevant to a commoner such as myself – and an American, no less. Yet the life of the man once known as Little Lord Montagu, as captured in director Luke Korem's titular documentary, Lord Montagu, is one that fascinates both for its storied historical context and for the way the Little Lord lived it. Which required a good deal of bravery, ingenuity, and affection for the “common people” and the things we love.

Two long-lost episodes of 'Doctor Who' from the 1960s have been found. Episode three of the William Hartnell adventure 'Galaxy Four' and episode two of Patrick Troughton's 'The Underwater Menace' - which were thought to have been lost forever - were discovered by film collector Terry Burnett, who purchased them from a village fete near Southampton in the early 80s.

Fans of the classic Doctor Who series received a giant surprise of an early Christmas present this past weekend, as two previously missing episodes were presented to attendees of the British Film Institute‘s annual “Missing Believed Wiped” event at the National Film Theatre in London. The two recently-discovered episodes were Episode 3 of the William Hartnell adventure “Galaxy 4″ entitled “Air Lock”, and Episode 2 of Patrick Troughton‘s “The Underwater Menace”.
It was introduced at the event by Mark Gatiss, Doctor Who writer and actor:
Christmas has come early for Doctor Who fans everywhere. It’s always wonderful when a missing episode turns up but it’s been years since the last one so to have two is just brilliant. Add to that a proper bit of action from the legendary Chumblies (and the horrifying Rills!) plus the utterly mesmeric Patrick Troughton on great form. Well, what more could we all ask for?...
