Blue Peter - Doctor Who Missing Episodes

[LegoDaleks]

God, why such a strong regional accent? It sounds ridiculous, why is she allowed on TV? This used to be an intelligent show.

[WhovianWaterlooRoad]

@LegoDaleks One of the reasons she was hired is because of her accent so it showed they wouldn't hire someone because of a thick accent! Well that's what I heard anyway!

Like if you're here from DWM

You could all do a lot worse than call 07425 426715. This guy has been tracking stuff down for 20 years. He hoards it and pretends to hoax in order to get fans off his back. He approached the BBC who basically told him where to go when he wanted thousands of pounds in return. Sure they could afford it??

[MasterKasterborous]

@jadewoolgar No they have not found all of them (and they probably won't). There are currently 106 episodes that officially no longer exist from the 1960s.

Slightly ironic seeing that Blue Peter was rumoured to have lost some classic episodes they borrowed...

[MasterKasterborous]

@sparkylarry The rumour about The Tenth Planet has been proved not to be true. If it wasn't for Blue Peter we wouldn't be able to watch the First Doctor regenerating.

@MasterKasterborous True but they DID have a copy of The Daleks' Master Plan episode 4 which nobody knows what happened to...

[MasterKasterborous]

@Yetaxa Indeed they did have a copy of it and as you say no ones knows what happened to it so they may well have returned it and then the BBC Film Library lost it. It will probably remain a mystery forever but I still find it amazing three WHOLE episodes survive from that serial!

I wonder if they gave that collector bloke who "forgot he had them" for 25-odd-years!! 2 Daleks??

[MasterKasterborous]

@kwisnothere Many collectors don't realise the value of their prints. I don't think this Mr. Burnett was hoarding them and they only surfaced because he mentioned them in passing.

[MasterKasterborous]

You have no idea how long I have been looking for this!!! Is this the whole thing because I seem to remember Ian Levine being on the show? I may be wrong but I will add this to my playlist none the less.

[WhovianWaterlooRoad]

@MasterKasterborous This is it, maybe Levine came on another time? If he was on it this time, I would have made sure it was on this video ;)

[MasterKasterborous]

@WhovianWaterlooRoad It may well have been another episode but I'm not sure. I really hope Blue Peter do another report of missing episodes next year with the new episodes being unearthed. Also was there ever a Newsround report on the recent recoveries.
