minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·14 小时前Well, yeah… The BBC didn’t give a shit about archiving, especially pulp sci-fi like Dr Who. So private collectors goobled up all the tapes as they were found in the closets of random BBC regional offices. By now the BBC has almost certainly located multiple copies of “missing” episodes and know exactly who has what. It’s how they have a slow trickle of “found” episodes whenever they want.
