I love what you're doing. Very informative and interesting. I sincerely hope you get the audience you deserve and continue to make such amazing videos growing as you do so.
First Doctor: "You can't change history! not one line!" Me: "I just want to get hard copies of every lost Doctor Who." First Doctor: "Oh, carry on then my boy."
@@astrosleep9625 Yes I would. I'd bring them back to the exact moment I left, which means they'd still be missing for all those years. This is a documented fixed point in time, it cannot be changed.... but it CAN be worked around.
This is why I always urge the Who fandom to pay perhaps a little bit more respect to Ian Levine...this one positive accomplishment of his continues to resonate to this very day as it's the very reason an effort to recover or reconstruct all of the missing episodes is STILL ongoing! 👍👍👍👍
I still think Whovians are incredibly lucky, since many old fans recorded the audio of the stories, took pictures of their screens and remembered the stories, we can still enjoy them in animation, audio recordings, or other such means. Also luckily, around the eighties was when Home Media began to become popular. Other sixties TV fans can’t even boast that.
For comparison the Val Doonican Show from the 60's only has roughly three episodes surviving, and at least one of them as an incomplete audio recording.
It wasn't only the BBC that did this kind of thing. In 1968 Thames Television was formed in a shotgun marriage between ABC and Rediffusion (the latter of which was the previous holder of the weekday franchise for the London region). After the merger, most of Rediffusion's output was either lost or deliberately destroyed.
We very very nearly lost every episode of the “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”. Terry Gilliam has a great story about a phone call he got from a BBC employee who said they were about to wipe the tapes. He got there just in time & finally talked them into selling him the tapes since all they wanted to do was record over them again. It’s a great story . Can you imagine if that stuff had been lost forever ? 🎥📺🎥📺🎥❤️🤯🤯🤯
Yeah, if marco polo were to be made i imagine it would be 2023/2024, since that would be aniversary of either who or The Story, but even then the amount of work is extreamly high, Evil being my favorite in the whole show, and its expected that either it or snowmen are next, so pumpd
This, like all your missing episode work, is really interesting, entertaining and thought provoking. I admire all your work, and still think it a crime that your videos don't currently form part of the BBC blu-ray range special features. Thanks Josh, for your dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm in these productions. XX
The Missing Episodes are always depressing whenever they're brought up. So much history and great content that'll probably never be seen again. That being said, seeing this video and realizing so much Doctor Who content has been found over the years gives me a nice lil bit of hope
@@charmedx3219 But once I correct the timeline they would have been here all along, thus erasing the very concept of a "missing episode" (besides Feast of Steven ofc)... wibbly wobbly timey wimey
@@alicec1533 I guess you could just land a few years earlier, after each Mastertape was finished, sneek in at night (by landing there) return them to our time, make high quality HD copies and bring them back to their supposed place before anyone noticed their absence and then travel to the next week/production for the entire 60ies and 70ies. That way, you wouldn't just safe all 97 episodes, including FoS, but would also be able to return higher quality copies of each existing episodes ("The Lion" would really benefit), save them from censor cuts (looking at Time Meddler and War Machine there, return all Pertwees to their original, best colour (so Invasion of Dinosaurs 1 would only suffer from hilarious props) and might even return the original 4-parted Version of Planet of the Giants and the original Shoot of The Daleks 1 (which had to be redone). All of that, without changing the timeline of missing episodes right until today and therfore neither causing to big of a paradox nor erasing the amazing stories, animations and fan efforts linked to MEs.... What I am trying to say is: I am really desperate for these episodes.
At that time, 1) the video tapes themselves were more valuable than what was on them and 2) nobody thought there was any archival value in them, as there was no home video market then. The BBC would have wiped Monty Python's Flying Circus if they hadn't said "Give US the tapes. We'll buy you new ones."
Wicked new episode! The more you put out these documentaries, the more I wonder why the BBC haven't contacted you to do a special features documentary for a Doctor Who dvd release or even perhaps for a collection box set. High quality as always. Oh and Nyssa all the way!
Loved the original series, super excited for this one. All your videos are so well produced and amazing. So let’s restart this journey to see what exists, where a print could be, behind the scenes facts, the best way to watch them today, and of course how many of these beloved tales that were believed to be wiped forever returned miraculously to the BBC Archive.
I’m still waiting for the day that either Marco Polo or Power of the Daleks is found (yes, I know the latter has an official animated version, but...it’s not the same...and the animation was meh at best except for Troughton)
As someone who is much better at retaining information from visual presentation over the written word or sound thank you for this breakdown, looking spiffy btw love your hair. :P
I used to walk past Villiers House everyday when I lived in Ealing, you could feel the pure Levine vs. Nash ultimate face off energy emitting from the place - keep up the quality content, very excited for the next part :)
This one hit me right in the heart and led to some appreciative sobbing. Thank GOODNESS for Ian, Sue, and Pamela for each of their efforts to save recordings of the show, and thank you for telling this story to all of us!
Oh so that's what those film things in the canisters are? I always gave one to Michael Grade in case he ran out of loo roll. Hang on, I think Grade's fury from the deep is rumbling so I better go dish up some tape-spaghetti bolognese. Marco Polo might be a nice taste for the sauce?
Been waiting for this series for awhile. This series is going to be fun! Loved how it sets itself apart from the original Missing Episodes documentaries.
Wow, the quality of this video is impressive! From the visual to the sound, everything is perfect! The subject is perfectly treated and very understandable, thank you for all that, I can't wait to see the next part.
Fingers crossed that some of the missing episodes are found already but not ready to release them until 2023. I hope the six Philip Morris mentioned really hope one of them is The Tenth Planet Episode 4 really would like to see that one.
Terrific start to this series Josh. Our next DVD release here in Canada is the animated edition of Fury From The Deep on March 16. Still holding out hope that I'll be able to see this serial in it's entirety again. Peeking out from behind our couch in 1968 seems like an eternity ago...
I’m so glad I listened to youtube and watched your missing episodes video after it was in my recommended for weeks lol. After watching that I hoped you would do videos on how the missing episodes were returned so I’m really excited for this!!!
Stunning work as always, painstakingly put together and very funny! I remember reading WIPED! when it came out so its gorg to see it all visualised so clearly
If Pamela Nash didn’t junk those episodes that still had the rights we would’ve had Season 1 - complete Season 2 - complete Season 3 - only missing 12 episodes Season 4 - only missing 22 episodes Season 5 - only missing 6 episodes Season 6 - only missing 2 episodes We would currently be at: 43 missing episodes
Fantastic stuff as always. Even though I’ve read the brilliant book you quite rightly recommend, there were still a few things in here I didn’t know. To think when I started reading about stories like Tomb of the Cybermen, the Dæmons and Terror of the Autons, they were listed as missing and I thought I’d never get to see them. That I get to watch a couple of them next month for the umpteenth time, restored in hd, back in full colour, and now with 5.1 surround sound & improved effects never stops being amazing. Keep up the great work, even more appreciated just now as lots of us pace our homes, off work, just trying to keep ourselves entertained. I hope the BBC stick these on future Blu-rays, hopefully we’ll see some hd Hartnell soon. Oh, and well done in crowbarring Nyssa in there.
after watching this i went to my doctor who DVD collection and just gave it a big hug lmao I almost have a complete hartnell collection and knowing that if a few people didn't take the right actions at the right time none of this would exist hit pretty hard.
As someone who grew up on doctor who and watched the complete rerun the ABC did in the late 2000s or 2010s I can't remember. But I actually heard this story before but not so much detail and in the I interesting format you have made. So thank you for the great presentation!

Finding the missing episodes of doctor who could take months or years
Whenever I see that "NEW DOCTOR WHO MISSING EPISODE FOUND".
My heart skips a beat and goes "woooooooooo, here we go"
Best feeling ever
None of this would have happened if the 1960s BBC had just used Google Drive.
Tell me about it!
if the BBC made a 16mm copy master after it was shown and added to the archive.Then they could wipe the videotape.
As he said "Ian Levine saved the daleks!" I pulled out the DVD and held it up high.
Me too
First Doctor: "You can't change history! not one line!"
Me: "I just want to get hard copies of every lost Doctor Who."
First Doctor: "Oh, carry on then my boy."
Yeah, if I had a TARDIS that'd be the first thing I'd do -- go on a Doctor Who lost episode rescue mission.
Me: ok
@@filthycasual8187 but then you wouldn't have to go back and save them so they would never be saved
@@astrosleep9625 Yes I would. I'd bring them back to the exact moment I left, which means they'd still be missing for all those years.

Sometimes life is only fair to the small amount. O how much I wish that statement wasnt true.

Somewhere Ian Levine's Spidey senses are tingling knowing that somebody has mentioned him in a video. Expect tweets....

let's just hope someday we'll forget missing episodes were a thing
I would really like to see Marco Polo and Evil of the Daleks
Yeah, if marco polo were to be made i imagine it would be 2023/2024, since that would be aniversary of either who or The Story, but even then the amount of work is extreamly high, Evil being my favorite in the whole show, and its expected that either it or snowmen are next, so pumpd
I really wanted to see mission to the unkown too.
You and me both, buddy. You and me both

So if I ever get a TARDIS you know exactly where I'm going. Back to 1972 and saving all those episodes!
So that's why they can't be found, 2025 you has already saved them so they won't exist until 2025.

What I am trying to say is:
I am really desperate for these episodes.
still haven’t gotten over the fact that the bbc have never employed you to work on special features for the collection boxsets..
I second the idea of Josh Snares being hired by the BBC to produce extras like this!
😂
He’s Australian though so that’d be a bit difficult
The moment when Tomb came back was so incredible.
Brilliant 1st episode, I can't wait for the rest of the series, your video are always of such a high quality.
Thanks Harry!
At that time, 1) the video tapes themselves were more valuable than what was on them and 2) nobody thought there was any archival value in them, as there was no home video market then.

Oh and Nyssa all the way!
The Holy Grail series has returned!
I second this
Josh is still holding Daleks' Master Plan from us! Someone get down to Australia fast.
Nyooommm
What an absolutely incredible video!!!! This series is quickly becoming my favourite (and we're only one episode in!!). Simply sublime! :D
Yes, finally. More missing episode content, already loving this series Josh, well done. 👏
Loved the original series, super excited for this one. All your videos are so well produced and amazing.

Incredible first part Josh! Looking forward to the following parts of this series! 😁
Thank you!
This is the kind of content I'm subscribed for, love these documentaries on Doctor Who.
I’m still waiting for the day that either Marco Polo or Power of the Daleks is found (yes, I know the latter has an official animated version, but...it’s not the same...and the animation was meh at best except for Troughton)
When's part 2 I really liked that
Next week :)
@@JoshSnares I've clicked the bell so it should show up in my notifications this time,
Unfortunately, it was lost from the BBC archives in 1971.
The intro to this and the artwork is stunning. Fantastic!
Jon Pertwee is my favourite doctor and my collection of Pertwee stories is only missing The Sea Devils
Though some are on rewritable discs that we recorded from VHS tapes or The Horror Chanel, remember when they were showing Classic Doctor Who
As someone who is much better at retaining information from visual presentation over the written word or sound thank you for this breakdown, looking spiffy btw love your hair. :P
Thank you :)
Thanks Amigo! Really fantastic content, I’m really looking forward to part 2!
Those cut away scenes are legendary and hystical! As always, exceptional work.
Fabulously compiled! Looking forward to the next one
Singapore's archives remain the 'dark horse' of missing material.
This is a beautifully put together documentary. Great editing!
Watching those DVDs drop onto the table made me gasp almost as much as the wiping of the original episodes.
Brilliant video! It’s nice to actually have a video on this rather than reading articles online!
Great information looking forward to part 2
Watching this video brings to mind that most quintessential of British expressions, “muddling through.”
I used to walk past Villiers House everyday when I lived in Ealing, you could feel the pure Levine vs. Nash ultimate face off energy emitting from the place - keep up the quality content, very excited for the next part :)
😂😂
This one hit me right in the heart and led to some appreciative sobbing. Thank GOODNESS for Ian, Sue, and Pamela for each of their efforts to save recordings of the show, and thank you for telling this story to all of us!
Lovely stuff as always Josh. You explain it so well. I love your missing episodes stuff.

Just wonderful! Thanks Josh for another great video!

Brilliantly made video Josh! Great as always!
The dimly lit room with the roundels backdrop is really giving me Battlefield vibes
Ha! I had a similar budget as the BBC (£0!)
A great video as always Josh, looking forward to further episodes of this series :)
Thank you so much for this and fantastic jacket too.
Josh, you’ve done it again! Absolutely brilliant way of explaining the complex story behind the missing eps saga. Loved it 👍
Wow, the quality of this video is impressive! From the visual to the sound, everything is perfect! The subject is perfectly treated and very understandable, thank you for all that, I can't wait to see the next part.

Thank you for watching and supporting me!
finding lost media likes this makes you FEEL like a time traveler.
Been following your channel for a while now. Another very informative and well made video :)
Best editing work I've ever seen on a Dr who video, great work 👍
I love these, not only are your videos really informative but the production quality is amazing!

So this is just amazing
This is brilliant! Many thanks!
