@Gutpunchtaker As for the stills, pass how they got saved. They may even be from off-air recordings ie people setting up a cine camera pointing at their telly!
@Gutpunchtaker the video recordings were transferred to film so the video tape could be re-used. It was very expensive back then so the beeb wanted to get their money's worth.
The telecine recordings were sold around the world, but as the BBC was only allowed 1 showing and 1 repeat, they were not deemed commercially viable to keep, so when sold other countries, it was either "destroy on site & send certificate" or send back to be destroyed. Normally by bonfire, so partly correct!
From what I recall it was a fire that wiped out the films. The audio here comes from tape recordings someone made and photographs were stored elsewhere.
@THE4thTARDIS I think It's because it takes alot of time, and is rather costly

"....but kept stills of every shot?"
Apparently, there was a guy called John Cura who took lots of photos of the 1960s Dr.Who sets.

Good to see that *someone* at the BBC was actually using their brain!

Does anyone know why the beeb wiped the tapes, but kept stills of every shot? Hows that work?

Hahaha, the conversation at 1:00. The Dalek sounds like it says "Oh baby".
It's another case of sexual air supply.
