> PURposefully! Oh, it kills both my Inner Who Fan and my Inner Librarian
I have only recently gotten over the intense, seething anger I began feeling when I realized that I was never going to be able to actually see a majority of the episodes with my "back-up" Doctor and my favourite Companion. It's an absolute shame that so many of the reportedly quite extravagant* historicals and vast space epics of the Hartnell Era have been lost, of course - and obviously the fact that the first regeneration episode was taped over is just _criminal_** - but it just BURNS me that, of Troughton's 127 episodes (counting the three multi-Doctor stories he was in), 63 were destroyed. The first episode we actually get to _see_ with Two? The penultimate episode of his _third_ serial
