Lost Old Dr. Who Discovered!

Rumors are going wild that a large number of missing episodes have been found.

Those not in the know. The BBC destroyed almost the entire 2nd Doctor's episodes and most of the first doctor's episodes. They needed the space so they blanked the tapes and destroyed the film.

Allegedly a few years ago they began reaching out to the old stations across the world that they sold the show to.

It was always rumored that people had made copies and had private libraries with missing episodes.

Rumors are probably being overly optimistic. Some think the entire library has been recovered but from one forum I read, not all of the older episodes were sold so some of the original material which was destroyed had no duplicates.

106 episodes is one number being bandied about. Episodes to them isn't a whole show like it is over here. Each story was broken down into between 2 and 6 episodes.

So the 106 might be about 20 full stories. Cool if true for old school whovians.

Would be nice to see some who not over reliant on the magic wand of lazy shitty writing. with old who you just have to deal with laughably bad effects but sometimes compelling stories.
