I remember reading a "Fact of Fiction" in DWM that claimed that "The Space Pirates" was the most obscure "Who", which is clearly absurd. "The Space Pirates" has an extant episode, was by Bob Holmes and is the last story in a season in which else exists or has been (long ago) animated. Surely, "The Smugglers" is the most obscure story. It's a completely missing Hartnell historical that, unlike "Marco Polo" or "The Myth Makers" or "The Massacre" doesn't even have a good reputation or seem to trying to do anything interesting. (I suspect if "The Gunfighters" were missing, it might have a higher reputation than it does.)
