BBC Launch a New Push to Find Lost BBC
Programmes |
The BBC has launched 'Treasure Hunt', a high-profile
initiative to locate missing episodes of its television and radio output which
includes, of course, Doctor Who. Recordings
of pre-1980 television and radio programmes are being sought as the BBC
attempts to plug gaps in its Archive. The BBC's press release states that:
"Films or tapes of lost programmes may be held by private
collectors or former BBC producers. They may be copies that were licensed to be
shown abroad and never returned. They could even be good quality home
recordings from the television or radio of national events. The BBC will offer
a modem format copy in return." Please click

for a list of the Doctor Who episodes that are currently missing from
the BBC Archives. Further details can be found on the Treasure Hunt
website at www.bbc.co.uk/cult/treasurehunt |
