    No Time Machine backup, unfortunately.
    I did have a version from earlier in the day that wasn't too far off as a last resort.

    The right-click + show backup method sorta worked only I had to find a work around as that option doesn't appear when right clicking (think that might have been an option on older versions of pages/osx).

    In case anyone finds themselves stuck in a similar position, here's what I did:

    Go to the Finder and find your Keynote, select it and command+I to view info

    Change the extension to .zip and then "use .zip" in the dialog box that comes up.

    Double click the new .zip file and it will unpackage itself.

    Open the folder and you will see all the files that make up your Keynote File. Copy and paste in the "missing" files. Pay attention to file names as Keynote will sometimes add a -1, -2 etc to the end of the file.

    Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file).
