Doctor Who - 2 Episodes Recovered. | Fab forum

The BBC Have announced that part 3 of "Galaxy Four" (first broadcast in 1965) and part 2 of "The Underwater Menace" (first broadcast in 1967) and both had been thought to be lost, have been returned to the BBC.

The episodes are thought to have originated from the ABC Channel in Australia.

Christmas has come early for Doctor Who fans.

Gives hope for the beatles juke box jury and top of the pops performances to one day be found (actually wasnt some mute juke box jury footage discovered and they were going to sync it with the circulating audio. Whatever happened to that?)The good thing re Doctor Who is that the beeb have a tendency to release the episodes on dvd so these wont be locked in a cupboard never to be seen.

If the Juke Box Jury footage was found, this may need resoration to make it good enough quality to release on DVD.

The Doctor Who stories are getting released on DVD and all the footage is repaired (if damaged), clean up and where appropriate re-coloured (if the original colour film has been lost and a black and white copy of the episode exists) but this is done by BBC staff in their spare time and they're not paid to do it either – they just do it for the love of the programme and to make the Doctor Who stuff look the best it can.

Yeah, sorry – I meant that if the footage was cleaned up to a broadcastable quality the BBC may broadcast it again and not release it on DVD.  Apologies.
