Lost
Doctor Who Episodes Found
Two classic episodes of Doctor Who have been found, according
to the annual Missing Believed Wiped event at the BFI in London today.
Episode three of 1965 William Hartnell story Galaxy 4 and episode two of the
1967 Patrick Troughton serial The Underwater Menace have surfaced.
Previously all four parts of Galaxy 4 were missing and episodes one, two and
four of The Underwater Menace were lost as a result of the BBC’s
shortsighted 1967 to 1978 policy of destroying or erasing recordings.
The Underwater Menace is Fraser Hines’ first story as the definitive Second
Doctor companion, Jamie McCrimmon, and ‘Galaxy 4′s Drahvins were mentioned
as recently as the 2010 Season Five finale, The Pandorica Opens.
Both episodes were recovered from private collections by Ralph Montagu,
Radio Times’ head of heritage, who explained, “I occasionally meet up with a
group of film collectors and retired TV engineers at a café in Hampshire.
“A few months ago I spoke to Terry Burnett, who used to be an
engineer at TVS [the former ITV franchise based in Southampton]. Somehow
Doctor Who was mentioned in passing, and Terry said, ‘Oh, actually I think
I’ve got an old episode.’
“I thought it was bound to be something we’ve got already. I tried not to
get too excited, but he came back the next day and brought this spool with
him. It had no label, so I had a look at the film leader and it said ‘Air
Lock’. I thought, ‘What’s that?’ I checked online and saw that Air Lock was
an episode of Galaxy 4 – a missing Hartnell serial. So then I got very
excited.”
