Zikten 11/14/22 10:47:31 PM #1:	Found this documentary about every missing episode of Classic Doctor Who. The first incident alone is rage inducing. The complete 7 episodes of Marco Polo, were at one point found intact in Africa. The owners asked BBC if they wanted it back and BBC said no. Then the owners, an African TV studio, destroyed them https://youtu.be/Ei2XqlGWybQ <cite>Zikten posted [p:969435652] in The BBC wa...

YellowSUV 11/14/22 10:54:00 PM #4:	It is a shame the 2nd Doctor era has so many missing episodes. He was really a visual actor and so much gets lost when you only have audio. Enemy of the World used to be almost completely missing and was widely considered to be a mediocre series of episodes. Since it was recovered 10 years ago it is now considered one of the better series of episodes. --- We all live in a Yellow SUV! a Yellow SUV! <cite>YellowSUV posted [p:969435803] in The BBC wa...

Solar_Crimson 11/14/22 10:54:38 PM #5:	It wasn't just classic Who; the BBC just sucked at preservation in general during that time. Lots of old shows and episodes have been lost to time because of it. --- "To Republicans, life begins at conception and ends in elementary school." - GranolaPanic <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:969435820] in The BBC wa...

Monty Python's Flying Circus was almost wiped, but luckily Terry Gillman bought the tapes before they were taped over. --- We all live in a Yellow SUV! a Yellow SUV! <cite>YellowSUV posted [p:969435934] in The BBC wa...
