seeing the films in that condition made my heart drop. its sad to know that some episodes are lost forever, slowly rotting away like an old man with alzheimers. my dad, whos a pretty big doctor who fan would probably be pretty bummed by this too.
It is heart wrenching to hear of how some of the BBC series that could have been recovered is now just a memory as old films of Pathfinders which starred Ben Jackson himself, Michael Craze just rotted away. But here is the kick in the balls with this victory. Also recovered was all 6 episodes of The Web of Fear and mysteriously episode 3 just walked away!!!!
@@BHB-vf5tn due to the shameful and careless way the BBC has treated Dr who,maybe if private collectors are holding on to these,I think it could be an up yours to the bbc
@@leefran71that’s bollocks tbf. At this point, if you’re holding a grudge because people destroyed stuff in the 70s, you’re just an arsehole. If I had anything that was lost, I’d give it to the BBC immediately, because I’d rather everyone can see it than nobody. Say what you want about them in the past, but they’ve been serious about archiving since the 80s and Dr Who especially has been treated so well.
Yes it's such a joy to hear so many people have been given a chance to see this story, even more so when it was not truly fully appreciated from the remaining episode 3. Now thanks to Philip its becoming a fan favourite for second Doctor stories, and rightly so.
A dream job would be film conservation, bringing life back to these long forgotten reels of film. Especially anything Doctor Who. I’ve only restored a handful of films I’ve found and it’s so rewarding seeing the end result.
I'm so glad Phillip Morris found The Enemy of the World! If I had to rank the Second Doctor's stories, it would definitely be up in the top 5. In a sentence, it'd be "Doctor Who does James Bond".
53 of his 119 episodes are still missing, not counting the later specials (Three Doctors, Five Doctors, and Two Doctors). So about 45% is still gone. However, as bleak as that sounds, there were 75 Troughton episodes missing at the end of 1978. With Phil Morris' finds, we now have over half of the original Troughton episodes back in the archives. With some luck and perseverance, hopefully the number of missing episodes will continue to shrink.
We shouldn’t be sad for having some of our stuff lost. We should enjoy what we still have and not be sad. We should be happy that the kids of the 60s recorded the audio for us. We should be happy that that Australian guy pointed his 8mm camera at his tv screen and kept some of that history alive, and that what makes us doctor who fans as passionate as we are today
I remember being a kid and hearing about a lost episode being found when the news was on in the morning. I can't remember which episode it was but I was in awe. Hope more can be recovered soon!
I really do hope all missing episodes, especially Troughton’s era, get professionally animated. Much like The Macra Terror for example... the 60’s is my favourite era of the show xx
I noticed on some of the printed labels that "Mauritius Broadcasting Company" was one of the networks that had some of the older Doctor Who film prints. Perhaps try contacting them in case there are any left there, if you haven't already done so.
It depends where they are. He's talking about keeping them in a cupboard for 50 years. You can't do that with film. But if the place has a good archive, good temperature, regularly maintained it will be fine. Africa obviously hasn't had a great time of it in the 20th century so you can forgive them for not having the proper facilities.
Van Y. As much as we'd like that, some episodes are gone forever, such as "The Feast of Steven" from The Daleks Master Plan, which was destroyed with no copies made :/
Van Y. I don’t think any episode of Doctor Who has been recovered due to home recordings besides the audios, restored color, and a few clips captured via a home film camera.
They won't. It's pretty much impossible. There is still 97 missing episodes left. 97! Not too mention there is only so many places they have to look. Plus they have a time limit since film does not last forever. As seen in this video where one of the rolls had dissolved into mush. Homemade video recordings were not possible in the 60's so we can't count on that. At this point any missing episodes they find is a miracle. But it will take the invention of actual time travel to get them all. I'm just happy that they all still exist in audio form. I still find that amazing to this day.
Yeah, at least with the audio they can continue animating the lost episodes. I honestly think for now, they shoukd just continue pursuing the animations
I'm glad the gentleman who bought the programmes decided against having them junked. Good work on his part. Mr. Morris would never have found anything otherwise. I'm glad that at least some of the old episodes of DW and other series were successfully retrieved. :-)
Just imagine if someone like Phil had gotten to go to explore Sierra Leone Television's archive prior to 1990 they would have discovered 24 William Hartnell episodes! These were destroyed in 1999 sadly. Never mind well done finding those Troughton episodes Mr Morris, shame about episode 3 though.
@@blairm383 According to the sales records, Sierra Leone is alleged to have been sold: Galaxy 4, The Myth Makers, The Massacre, The Celestial Toymaker The Savages and The Smugglers (basically most of Season 3, with exception of Dalek's Master Plan). They also had copies of The Ark, The Gunfighters and The War Machines there too. All of these prints, if by all accounts they likely remained there, were destroyed during the civil war when the TV station was shelled.
One of those 97, "The Feast of Steven" from The Daleks' Master Plan, is thought to be permanently lost (as no kinescopes of it were ever made for international distribution thanks to it being a tacked-on and ultimately superfluous Christmas episode). Hence why I said 96.
I've also heard the show's restoration team speculate that a kinescope from a routine recording may be out there somewhere, but the chances of that and the rumor you just mentioned being true are immensely slim. In general, it's necessary to take rumors surrounding the missing episodes with a Dead Sea's worth of salt.
I hope more episodes will be found especially from season 4 because it would be nice to have one or two complete stories and it’s my favourite of the 60s seasons
WhelanProductions He did find Web 3. Someone took it between him finding it and him collecting it. Rumor is he knows who has it but who knows how much truth there is to that. Hopefully he's found more in his search.
Ian Turner Its valuable and probably makes that person feel special to have it. Hopefully whoever has it is storing it properly and eventually it makes it's way backmto the BBC.
They did find it. Someone stole it and is essentially holding it for ransom. Rumor has it he or she has offered to return it to the BBC in exchange for an exorbitant sum if money.
A strong rumour went round that Mr Ian Levine grabbed it because he was the one who put Morris on the scent in the first place - But no, I'm pretty sure this has now been well and truly scotched.
I can't recommend them highly enough. They've also animated the lost episodes of half lost stories. So you'll need the actual DVDs to fill in the not-lost stories. It gives you a rough idea of how the original direction went.
@@thomasm.longiii3752 Hate to break it to you but The Feast Of Steven had no film prints made so it was wiped and lost forever... Unless someone used a camera to record the entire episode but having to crank the camera for 22 minutes wouldn’t be something someone would want to do
I wish they'd just tell us where it is. If they told us the footage was lost then we can all move on with our lives...Keeping us in the dark is the worst thing.
1:31 They also had the Z Cars spinoff Softly, Softly, another BBC show where much of their run was wiped from the archive. I wonder how many of those tapes on the shelves were ones that weren't in the archive anymore.

@@joshuahughes5761 It was unfortunetly. An engineer/someone working at the station took it to their office, meaning it was seperated from the rest of the group, that was the last known location of episode 3.

A special edition release for "Enemy of the World", eh? Fantastic! I hope it sees a Region 1 release, and that they can justify a similar treatment for "The Web of Fear"! Even better if it comes with Episode 3 restored!
Damn, if I ever saw a film print in person (which is unlikely to happen), I don't think I'd be able to resist the temptation to have a look at it to see if it's a missing Doctor Who episode, even if it turned out to be something else. Although, if it turned out it wasn't a Doctor Who but instead a missing Dad's Army episode, that would be just as great.
Really looking forward to buying the R1 DVD of this. When can I? I am someone who has been following the missing Doctor Who episodes since the winter of 1984. Just these 3 minutes and 13 seconds of the documentary fill in some links we did not know before. The descriptions of the other extras look very promising too.
I still dont get how episode 3 of web of fear got stolen, did someone just sneak in the building where it was being kept and just took it without being seen, and surely he wouldve took the other canisters wouldnt he, its weird how it magically disappeared
Good story and there would be a time when the BBC recovers the Lost Doctor Who episodes from 1963 to about 1968 or 1964 so that they can be digitalized for broadcast on Sky cable on demand programmes or iplayer
I wish I could just use a vortex manipulator to teleport to EVERY place on the planet that might have missing episodes, take every single episode I can find, and give them to the BBC to be archived.
There might be some in private collections somewhere, or there may be some remote outposts of TV Land as yet unreached by the Beeb. But I kind of doubt it; there are still some 90 or so half-hours, primarily from the Hartnell and Troughton years, still not completely recovered. Recreations or animated versions would appear to be the only solutions at this point.
Hm, i mean, there had to be just a few persons back then recording it? Dont know how that was back in the 60s, but the show had a good fanbase even back then, maybe the BBC should made a bigger effort on finding people who recorded the episodes back then. Atleast thats the hope i had, thinking about finding the missing episodes. Announce it in TV and Papers or so, because these people(if they exist) will be a fair bit older now.
domestic video recording was VERY primitive I believe one recording was found, of The Space Pirates episode 2, which exists anyway, and was in a completely unwatchable condition Most people recording were recording onto audio tape, which is why we have all the soundtrack CD releases (which are out of print right now for some reason)
@@marcse7en Or what if there are missing episodes because people from the future took them to avoid them becoming missing, hence, creating a paradox? Maybe we are living in the gap between the 60s and the period where people travelled back from to collect the episodes, lol.
Good on Phil for determining to check these archives by hand. They got messages from the BBC to return stuff and Nigeria did, but clearly there are a few missed. Lets just hope some more archives were as lax.
burned and on 2:05 it's crack. How could they going to restore this when BBC kept all the Dr who episodes but now all the Dr who episodes are totally destroyed 🙁
The fact that BBC destroyed many of their episodes instead of keeping them is a disaster. They SURE was/are idiots for doing so. I kinda doubt it but i HOPE that the remaining 97 episodes will be found & restored. Its NOT worth to destroy ANY movies & tv-shows or anything to make room for something new.
Classic Doctor Who Stories but I for one will take my DVD copies of Enemy of the World & Web of Fear that I got back in 2014 because that is when I really got into the series man oh man the BBC seems to not care about all things time and-or space plus what the damn hell were those film reels doing in Africa of all places smarten up Brits
I have a lot of early Dr. Who on video tape. I would love to get them to a professional archivist. No longer having a VCR I can't speak to their quality. Some years back our local PBS station ran all of the episodes in order. I did my best to record them all.
Doctor Who was shown around most of the commonwealth back in the 60s. The broadcasters would buy them and the BBC would send them copies in the post. No digital files back then! But it was a bit more complex because the BBC didn't want to be making new films for every sale. So they created a bicycling system. 5 countries could buy a story and the BBC may only make 2 prints, because once New Zealand finished showing the film, they would post it to Singapore, then Singapore would send it to Zambia. What we Who fans are hoping is that like Nigeria, the prints got forgotten and left in archives. Nigeria has sent back more missing episodes than any other country (besides Canada who sent back colour versions of Pertwee stories). Which is great but also worrying as it suggests that was the last stop for a lot of stories and if they are no longer in Nigeria, they may be gone. The Nigerian man saying he should destroy the episodes suggests he has done it before. And if there are only 2 prints in existence, Australia was efficient in sending back and destroying, he could have ended any hope for some episodes. There is nothing to find.

Hm, i mean, there had to be just a few persons back then recording it? Dont know how that was back in the 60s, but the show had a good fanbase even back then, maybe the BBC should made a bigger effort on finding people who recorded the episodes back then. Atleast thats the hope i had, thinking about finding the missing episodes. Announce it in TV and Papers or so, because these people(if they exist) will be a fair bit older now.
domestic video recording was VERY primitive
I believe one recording was found, of The Space Pirates episode 2, which exists anyway, and was in a completely unwatchable condition
Most people recording were recording onto audio tape, which is why we have all the soundtrack CD releases (which are out of print right now for some reason)
It would be funny if all episodes where found due to time travel.
@@marcse7en Or what if there are missing episodes because people from the future took them to avoid them becoming missing, hence, creating a paradox?
Maybe we are living in the gap between the 60s and the period where people travelled back from to collect the episodes, lol.
This is turning out to be a real archeological expedition.
Good on Phil for determining to check these archives by hand. They got messages from the BBC to return stuff and Nigeria did, but clearly there are a few missed. Lets just hope some more archives were as lax.
burned and on 2:05 it's crack. How could they going to restore this
when BBC kept all the Dr who episodes but now all the Dr who episodes
are totally destroyed 🙁
Find more before the film prints are destroyed Please literally a fight against time for these.
Is there any more locations of the missing episodes of doctor who
The fact that BBC destroyed many of their episodes instead of keeping them is a disaster. They SURE was/are idiots for doing so. I kinda doubt it but i HOPE that the remaining 97 episodes will be found & restored. Its NOT worth to destroy ANY movies & tv-shows or anything to make room for something new.
Aw look at those Beauties. Relics from ages past.
Singapore’s fate is still unknown...
Aww I thought it was a new missing episode found
Then some sod stole episode 3 of the Web of Fear, probably disintegrated now!
Classic Doctor Who Stories but I for one will take my DVD copies of Enemy of the World & Web of Fear that I got back in 2014 because that is when I really got into the series man oh man the BBC seems to not care about all things time and-or space plus what the damn hell were those film reels doing in Africa of all places smarten up Brits
lol They were exported/sold for broadcast widely overseas, but most countries likewise junked them after they were shown.
The like to dislike ratio is amazing for doctor who
I have a lot of early Dr. Who on video tape. I would love to get them to a professional archivist.
No longer having a VCR I can't speak to their quality. Some years back our local PBS station ran all of the episodes in order. I did my best to record them all.
Tim Buktu what? All the story’s like power of The Daleks?
@@blairm383 If it was on PBS, then yes. I had the bad habit of not writing down the titles.
I am prepared to share these with a serious archivist.
Tim Buktu you’ll have to try get in contact with Paul vanezis about these episodes
Or contact the bbc
Tim Buktu anything?
THEY FOUND THEM!!!*acting like eleventh*
Please enable subtitle option to all video clips
Just ask Peter Capaldi, and let him recreate the entire scenes. I'm sure he remembers all from old Doctor Who.
wait... can someone explain how these episodes got from the UK to Nigeria???.
The BBC exported them to be broadcast on Nigerian TV.
Nigeria was colonized by the UK. I think it was apart of the Common Wealth, too.
Airmail, most likely.
This doesn't surprise me.
Doctor Who was shown around most of the commonwealth back in the 60s. The broadcasters would buy them and the BBC would send them copies in the post. No digital files back then! But it was a bit more complex because the BBC didn't want to be making new films for every sale. So they created a bicycling system. 5 countries could buy a story and the BBC may only make 2 prints, because once New Zealand finished showing the film, they would post it to Singapore, then Singapore would send it to Zambia. What we Who fans are hoping is that like Nigeria, the prints got forgotten and left in archives. Nigeria has sent back more missing episodes than any other country (besides Canada who sent back colour versions of Pertwee stories). Which is great but also worrying as it suggests that was the last stop for a lot of stories and if they are no longer in Nigeria, they may be gone. The Nigerian man saying he should destroy the episodes suggests he has done it before. And if there are only 2 prints in existence, Australia was efficient in sending back and destroying, he could have ended any hope for some episodes. There is nothing to find.
I want to work for this guy
Well there you go don't hear much from him now wonder why...Oh yes hasn't found anything.
Missy should have been the next DR
