I don't know how many fans of Dr Who there are around here, but news has broken after months of rumors that the BBC has successfully recovered missing and thought to be lost episodes of Doctor Who from its black and white era in the 1960s. Over 100 episodes had been lost due to the BBC's policy of wiping and destroying prints no longer thought to be of value. Thankfully, many copies were made and sent overseas for transmission, though it was thought that the well had run dry on the return front. Now, after a years long international search, at least a dozen, and perhaps as many as 100 of the 106 missing episodes of the series have been recovered. Some will be ready for download as early as a week from now. For anyone who is a fan of the original 26 year run of the show, this is a staggering and monumental find.
