Quote:

Two classic episodes of Doctor Who - thought to be missing forever - have been returned to the BBC archive.

Episode 3 of the William Hartnell adventure "Galaxy 4" and Episode 2 of Patrick Troughton's "The Underwater Menace" were purchased by film collector Terry Burnett at a village fete near Southampton in the early 80s. He had been unaware that the canisters contained material missing from the BBC.

Good news, right? The more Troughton footage is recovered, the better. His Doctor was great, and I with I could see more of his episodes, but around a third of his episodes were destroyed.

They were wiped (or "junked") by the BBC during the 1960s and 1970s for economic and space-saving reasons
