BBC Found Nine Missing Episodes of “Doctor Who” in a Cupboard in Nigeria

BBC Found Nine Missing Episodes of “Doctor Who” in a Cupboard in Nigeria

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.
