    Regarding film print deterioration: While it is a serious concern, there is plenty of reason to be optimistic. The missing footage from Metropolis (1927) was recovered in watchable (if rough) state in 2008. For something a bit more recent than missing Doctor Who, the theatrical cut of The Big Boss (1971) was rediscovered and released in 2023. And while the missing footage stands out from what was not lost, it still got a well-received 4K release. While the clock is ticking on degradable media, time may yet be on our side.

    Not all private collectors keep their copy because it's rare, I think it's more about having trust issues with the BBC.
    I recently saw some people arguing about it in some forum years ago and the reason why some of them didn't give their DW episodes are simply because:
    - They are afraid of not getting their copy back
    - They want to remain anonymous
    - Not getting treated kindly by the fans
    - They don't get enough or any thanks for bringing the episode back
    It's not just about it's rarity, it's more about trust and I had read in the forum that private collectors known each other, so if you attract negative attention from anyone of them, that's basically it for you, because word of it gets around among them.
    Also sorry if my grammar is bad, I'm not an english speaker.

    This happens in the video game preservation community too. There's lost prototype arcade games that people refuse to dump and distribute. One infamous one only had 3 copies that existed in the world, and one owner would take theirs to conventions to let people play it, but not distribute it. It eventually leaked online, according to the owner someone who they hired to maintain their machine dumped the board without their permission. Because of this, Atari actually were able to rerelease the game digitally in an official capacity. It may have been a "stolen copy" but that meant that Atari now had access to a game they previously lost and still legally owned. Thankfully it is now available officially and legally to anyone who wants to buy and play it.

    • @NottJoeyOfficial
      @NottJoeyOfficial Год назад +6

      @TheYellowShyGuy it's a very interesting story of a publisher needing to use illegal copies of a game to distribute them legally. Atari as a company has changed ownership so many times over the past 50 years that a lot of stuff has been lost, even if they still own the right. This was a great way for them to get access to one of those things that they had lost in the years of transferring ownership.

    As one who watched "An Unearthly Child" when it first aired (Delayed by the Kennedy Assassination) If I happened to encounter a missing episode of Doctor Who (Or "A for Andromeda," or other important series), I would immediately do everything within my power to get it back to the BBC, just cover the packing and shipping cost. The irony is that, considering these various hoaxes, with my being a Nobody, I'd have great trouble getting anyone to accept that I DO have such! And I know about hoarders -- a fellow stole all the Al Jolson sequences (on 78 and 33 1/3 transcriptions) for the Paul Whiteman Kraft show of 1935, from Williams College. There were desperate attempts to get the material back, the fellow died, and the episodes were trashed by the family, with highly desirable musical history gone for all time.

      It's like how Hbomberguy talks about how people are already rewriting much of the early history of gaming and getting their versions of events (normally self promoting) out there as the true stuff. Also how, for example, audio in early Japanese games was often made by women but was seen as kind of shameful work so they used false names. Which is one of the reasons why people aren't aware of pioneering women in gaming.

    About the private collectors part:
    There are a few reasons why people don't return the episodes back to the BBC.
    The main reason why they hold on to the material is because they do not own them and they could be sued by the BBC. I don't think the BBC would do that and I'm pretty sure they'd be happy just getting it back, but it worries these collectors.
    The second reason is that collectors just doesn't trust the BBC.
    The last person to have an episode of "Dad's Army" sat on it for decades because the person thought it would just get junked.
    And then there are also people who don't even know they have a missing episode or don't know that Doctor Who episodes are missing!
    I remember reading that someone had all the episodes of The Celestial Toymaker but threw them away after watching them, because he thought the episodes where terrible and he didn't wanna keep them. He didn't knew the episodes were missing.

    (It's so scary how accurate your description is. A coworker of mine let it slip that their father owns something "rare and lost". I only ever enquired once as to what it was but because neither her nor her father were actual fans of Doctor Who, she's not sure. From what I could gather it sounded like a TV reel of an episode of The Mind Robber which, if true, isn't exciting or even missing.

    You're bang on about the collector hoarders. The exclusivity is the most important thing to them, which is even sadder when you consider that if it was returned to the BBC, they would take a copy for the archive and then return the original to the owner (at least, that's my understanding of how these things go), so they would still possess the original film/video reels.

The worst is "The Web of Fear" pt 3. where you know the person who took it understood exactly what it was (first appearance of the Brig,) then either hoarded, or more likely sold it.
    The sad truth is most there probably aren't many more episodes to recover, it's been 12 years since the last find. But, like the Doctor, we must choose to live in hope.

    It really is difficult to explain today how rumour and innuendo could spread unchecked and unchallenged in a world before greater connectivity. Even today it's difficult to control. Which is why fan myths are still repeated today. And the 1980s really were a hotbed for 'characters' who drew their importance from being big fishes in a small pond. This inevitably had an effect on how the BBC - and those involved in the production - viewed the fanbase. One of the most positive outcomes of the post-2005 era is seeing the show open up and being widely appreciated by enthusiasts that don't have an axe to grind - unless your life is spent on Gallifrey Base - for a given definition of life...

      The thing I don't understand is that, if they really do own copies of these lost episodes and they are hoarding them because it gives them an ego trip, why wouldn't they provide some evidence? Even if it's just a few seconds of grainy video on an old CRT that they recorded with a smartphone?

They're up on that rarefied stratum of fandom: the holders of secret knowledge. I've encountered the kind of ego that could get off on that.
      I'm speculating wildly of course. Not meaning to sound bitter and twisted either. Those in the know may have good reasons for not forcing the issue. When the latest stories of more episodes being out there began to sound credible, I was just glad at the possibility that a few more had escaped the skip. If I found a lost episode, I'd be happy to tick the box marked Full Publicity but again, that's still an ego-driven thing!

    "Never say never" - yeah... except for "The feast of Steven". There is no chance this one will ever turn up again. The tape for the episode was wiped September 17th 1967 and was no official film copy made because it was never meant to be broadcast anywhere ever again. 1967 means there is no way for someone to have made a copy directly to any type of consumer video tape or taped it at home. So if there was a copy it would have been a telerecording. Copied to film with one of those special TV to camera devices. This would have been either done officially but not documented, which would be strange. Or someone would have made a copy in secret which means this person had access to the tapes and the recorders and everything without anyone knowing (or caring to report them). The filmstock would have either been taken from and later developed inside the BBC which seems risky as well or the person brought their own material and got it developed provately or did it themselves. They would need to do this twice as the first one would be a negative from which a print needs to be struck to watch it. Something like this is not cheap and never was very cheap. The chance that someone would have done this is so tiny. I would like to be proven wrong but I don't think there is a chance for this one.

      Honestly, I'm just happy with what we have these days. We could have had nothing, but instead we're missing less than 100 episodes. (I am still hoping for 5-10 more, but I don't think more than that will ever be found.)

    I think if the BBC is still trying to locate missing episodes they should concentrate on the stories where only the odd episode or two is missing. I am referring to Tenth Planet 4, The Underwater Menace 2 & 3, The Moonbase 2 & 4, The Ice Warriors 2 & 3, Web of Fear 3 and Invasion 1 & 4.

    • @MSDOSProject

      Ideally it could work that way but collectors have what they have, often in random pairs they may have grabbed from the skip (like Underwater Menace 2 and Galaxy 4 3). I'd love to get these stories finished but realistically in the future we will continue to get random returns. Next we could get Highlanders 3 and Massacre 1 for all we know

    Excellent video. This subject always fascinated me. As a kid I always used to record over stuff when I was done, thinking it would be kept in the archives. Shows like No.73 and Motor Mouth only to discover that the master tapes were skipped/dumped by Disney about 15 years ago! I met Philip Morris, Paul Vanezis and Sue Malden in June and they said there are still retrievable eps out there but probably not ALL of them. I feel the same about all missing shows Hancock and Morecambe end Wise etc there's still hope for Web of Fear ep 3

    • @benwillis5840
      @benwillis5840 Год назад

      It brings up an interesting question: what 'should' be kept? Every episode of everything on every channel forever? Magazine shows, quiz shows, 24 hour rolling news channels? What about radio - is it all being kept, should it be? Should some stuff be transient and just disappear? What about programmes/episodes that are no longer deemed appropropriate?
      I would love it if everything was kept, but how feasible is this with so many channels?

    • @bletheringfool
      @bletheringfool Год назад

      @benwillis5840 I think the problem with the TVS archive was that it was ALL being skipped. Those shows were of cultural significance. Sandi Togsvik and Neill Buchannan to name a couple, launched their careers and it was being dumped.

    I keep hope that some more missing episodes will turn up, but it's unlikely that all the missing episodes will ever be found. Some are likely just lost to space and time. But just one more episode of Galaxy 4, or the Space Pirates, or The Underwater Menace, or Marco Polo, etc. might change they way we view those stories. Hope burns bright - but light and heat deteriorate film. Here's hoping!

    4:57 Yes, but not to me.
    Interestingly, in the 90s we used to just call them video-tapes, not VHS. Because other videotape formats were all gone.
    ... except the newly emergent VHS-C for handycams.
    I didn't bother with those, we just got a full-size shoulder mounted Panasonic VHS "Movie" cam. Which got stolen as soon as I took it to Bangladesh...
    But we got another one a few years later. Later I got a mini-DV camcorder, which stopped working when I took it to Thredbo. I've repaired it once and it stopped working again, but I don't know what I've done with my 9 tapes of home videos (some in Bangladesh), which I want to hand to a pro to copy to hard drive ...
