News Updated: 7/9/2007
As we have previously stated, we do not usually report rumours of this scale, and we certainly would not report a rumour like this without having some belief / evidence of its veracity.
DWO ran a news item yesterday detailing that we believe there to be some truth in the rumour that The Web of Fear has been found. Today, we are still standing by that statement. We are not confirming or denying the rumour, merely stating our position in regards to reporting the item.
As providers of one of the leading online Doctor Who news sources, it is sometimes difficult to judge exactly what to report on. We thought about keeping the news to ourselves, but then we wouldn't be providing you with the service we set out to provide you all those years ago. DWO is first and foremost a Doctor Who News and Information site.
As fans ourselves, we understand how frustrating it is to hear a report of a missing episode and find out it isn't true, and we obviously wouldn't want to be perpetrators of such reports.
If the rumour indeed turns out to be true, we're not the sort of site to say 'we told you so', we're just genuinely pleased that a part of Doctor Who history will have been returned. If however it turns out to be false, then it will of course be a shame, but once again we would like to make it clear that at no point have we said it is 100% confirmed. As fans you have a right to hear the news stories we believe are credible and worthy of a mention.
We now ask fans to be patient and wait for an official confirmation / denial
Regardless of how the rumour turns out, DWO are in the planning stages of a massive missing episode hunt campaign. We feel that through all of the positive messages and support we have had so far, that we can pull the online communities, as well as contacts we have made over the past 11 years together and try to help locate some of the missing Doctor Who stories.
We understand there have been previous attempts to do this, and in some cases this has proven to be extremely successful, so we're going to use our online presence, resources and status in a massive campaign which you will see in print and online media over the coming weeks and months.
If you feel you can help in any way, pleas email us at: missingepisodes@drwho-online.co.uk.

http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/news/news.htmDWO now have a confirmed airdate for Series One of The Sarah Jane Adventures.
The series will kick off on Monday 24th September 2007 at 5:00pm.
The BBCi Press Office also sent us the following information regarding the first episode:
Sarah Jane Smith, investigative journalist and former companion to The Doctor, is back in a brand-new CBBC drama from the makers of Doctor Who. And in the first two-part story of the series she faces some familiar alien enemies of The Doctor as the Slitheen are back and out for revenge...
On their first day at their new school Maria and Luke soon realise that all is not as it seems. There's a funny smell, the food keeps going off, the teachers keep farting and the new technology block is hiding some dark secrets.
With their suspicions aroused, Sarah Jane, Maria and Luke set about investigating, joined by their new friend Clyde. They soon discover that the Slitheen have disguised themselves as teachers as part of a deadly plan which threatens the future of the Earth.
But as Maria, Luke and Clyde become trapped in the new technology block in the clutches of the Slitheen and with Sarah Jane under attack from another of the alien monsters, will the gang be able to stop the Slitheen before it's too late?
Sarah Jane Smith is played by Elisabeth Sladen, who also starred as Sarah Jane in the Seventies Doctor Who series as a companion to the third and fourth Doctors. Maria Jackson, Sarah Jane's neighbour and sidekick, is played by Yasmin Paige. Luke Smith, Sarah Jane's adopted son who was created by aliens, is played by Thomas Knight, and Daniel Anthony plays the streetwise Clyde.
Revenge Of The Slitheen is a two-part story written by Gareth Roberts, who also writes for Doctor Who, and Russell T Davies is one of the executive producers.

Billie Piper is on the verge of agreeing a deal with the BBC to reprise the role of Rose Tyler next year.
The News of the World claims that the former companion would return for a three episode arc for the season finale, should Piper accept the offer - reported to be £20,000.
The paper quotes a BBC insider as saying: "We are all very excited that Billie is on course to come back. We're very close to getting her to sign."
Piper left Doctor Who at the end of the second season in the episode 'Doomsday', which saw her character Rose Tyler confined to a parallel Earth with her family and boyfriend Mickey.
