Blastr are reporting on a rumour that
Bleeding Cool put out there that the BBC have secured a large number of presumed wiped episodes of Doctor Who. Some of this is attributed to an eccentric engineer who worked for broadcasters across Africa with a taste for science fiction and a habit of taking things for “safe keeping”.
Bleeding Cool refer to it as: And there are lots. Lots and lots. Completed serials that we’ve only had incomplete before, full series that nothing existed of. Not everything. But heaps and heaps. Possibly even The Full Hartnell. And Come November, or before, we'll get to see them.
Let's hope that the rumours are correct.
