Its claim one of the 14 episodes is missing out the archive, I take it this is not true?

The episode in question (S1 E6, TX 20/5/79) wasn't actually wiped. When LWT brought in the D2 storage system in the early 1990s all of the 14 episodes had a D2 made, along with a viewing VHS. However the D2 for S1 E6 later 'went missing' leaving the VHS copy as the only archive one of that episode.

You say it was copied or converted to D2 format in the 1990s, so I presume it existed on some other form at some point prior to this transfer? If so, whatever happened to that one?

I've a feeling it would have been the original broadcast master copy - if so then it probably may have been junked when the transfer took place.
