Missing Doctor Who episodes recovered

Missing Doctor Who episodes recovered


It's not often you get to write a headline like this - and it's one guaranteed to send a tingle down the spine of any Doctor Who fan.

The BBC has announced that nine episodes of Doctor Who have been found in Nigeria. The even better news is that they feature the second Doctor, Patrick Troughton.

The previously missing, presumed destroyed episodes hail from The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear, with episodes 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 of Enemy completing that particular story and the return of episodes 2, 4, 5, and 6 of Web meaning only episode 3 of the Yeti sequel is still missing. Episode 3 of Enemy and episode 1 of Web were also returned, but were already held in the archive.

The recovery now brings the total number of missing episodes down to 97.


More details are on the Doctor Who News site.

The Enemy of the World will be on release on DVD from November 24th in the UK - no word yet on a NZ release; and The Web of Fear is scheduled for sometime in early 2014.
