Life long fans say happy 50th birthday Doctor Who
WITH the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who on Monday, the discovery recently of nine missing episodes of the iconic series came as an early birthday present for the show’s millions of fans.
Found at a television station in Nigeria, the treasure trove is thought to be the largest haul of missing episodes ever recovered and includes a number from the 1967-68 period, starring the second Doctor Who, Patrick Troughton. While the BBC destroyed many of the original transmission tapes in the 1970s, a number were transferred to film for sale to foreign broadcasters.
