Nine long-lost episodes of Doctor Who, which
have not been seen since the 1960s, have been recovered after they were tracked
down gathering dust in a store room in Nigeria.
BBC says it has recovered nine episodes of
the sci-fi series and two others in the storeroom of a television station in
Nigeria.
Doctor Who was first broadcasted in 1963 and
remains one of BBC’s most popular programs.
Some early episodes were lost because the
broadcaster wiped the tapes clean for re-use.
The BBC says the lost episodes were tracked
down by tracing records of overseas shipments of BBC tapes for transmission.
The recovered episodes date from 1967 and
1968 and feature Patrick Troughton, the second of a dozen actors to play the
show’s time-travelling hero.
