Do people here actually think this is true? I’m not so sure myself. There may be the odd episode but I’m quite doubtful that there’s masses of episodes just being sat on by collectors.
The person in the article doesn’t really seem to have any evidence for his claim
I remember something about Web of Fear episode three, the episode that actually introduced Lethbridge-Stewart, and how Morris had the whole serial but before he turned them over to the BBC episode three somehow vanished.
Yeah that’s a good point I remember that. It does seem suspicious that one somehow went walkabouts.
I don’t know. I’m not denying there are probably some collectors out there with the odd episode but I don’t think all 97 missing episodes are sitting in people’s private archives - the article seems to imply whole stories could be restored and I think that’s very optimistic thinking…
