Lost #DoctorWho episodes found in 'eclectic' collection

Isaac Ashe and Simon Ward, March 12, 2026

Excerpt: "A cardboard box found in a collector's 'ramshackle' collection of vintage films contained two episodes of Doctor Who that have not been viewed since airing in the 1960s.

"The episodes feature the first incarnation of the Doctor, played by #WilliamHartnell, tackling a #Dalek plan to take over Earth, the solar system and the galaxy in a storyline only ever shown in the UK.

"#PeterPurves, who played the Doctor's assistant Steven Taylor, was invited to the Phoenix Cinema in Leicester on Wednesday under false pretenses to view the two episodes, and he said: 'My flabber has never been so gasted.'

"Restored versions of the episodes will be released on BBC iPlayer this Easter."

In the last week we watched #DoctorWhoSurvival - the very last serial and the end of the #ClassicEra. Over 10 years my wife and I have collected the entire series (from '63 to '89) on DVD and watched them religiously in chronological order. Finishing it was emotional!

And last night, we watched #DoctorWhoTheMovie - just to finally ice the cake and bid farewell 🫡

An updated review of The Celestial Toymaker which seems rather apt at the moment. I first wrote this 10 years ago and little of my opinion has changed - and I'm excited for the animated release.
