Doctor Who--I can't stop grinning!
Oct. 8th, 2013 09:54 amSome of you are aware that there are missing episodes, original tapes wiped and copies thought destroyed or long lost, of 1960s era Doctor Who. A few of you might know the number of episodes--106 currently known. Currently known.
A very few of you might be aware of the chatter, over the last year or so, that a big trove of 1960s British TV has been found, including a large number of Doctor Who episodes. I've been following the rumors, I've been trying not to get my hopes up, but it's been getting pretty tense, with some fans and professionals getting very nasty to others during the whole thing. And I've wanted to believe, to think there was too much smoke for there to be no fire, but no one was officially saying anything, so...
This week, it's all blown up. And finally, today, we have official BBC confirmation that there has been a find! Supposedly, we are getting an announcement on Thursday!
( Cut for more info, realized how long this got! )
