Marco Polo was one of the many (and I do mean many) which were lost when someone cleaned out the storage at the BBC back before they had a clue that someone might want to watch them again someday.
You can read some of the episodes as 'Photonovels' at the home website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/classic.shtml, since many production photographs are still around and someone actually cares enough to restore the stories.
Also, some episodes have been restored via the fact that not only do the photos still exist, but also the soundtracks.
Marco Polo is one of these.
I have rounded out my collection by purchasing the novelisations of the missing episodes, many of which were written by the original screenwriters.
