BBC Worldwide to stage press conference expected to confirm recovery of lost Doctor Who episodes
The BBC is finally set to confirm long standing rumours surrounding the recovery of a batch of long lost Dr Who episodes during a press conference tomorrow.
Fans have been in a frenzy ever since internet speculation first suggested that a haul of episodes dating back to the sixties had been unearthed in Africa of all places, but a lack of official confirmation left many sceptical.
Now BBC Worldwide is set to clarify precisely what material has been recovered during a press conference and screening in London tomorrow.
Doctor Who TV quotes one BBC source as saying: “There will be big news this Tuesday regarding lost Doctor Who episodes.
“It is great that in the show’s 50th year, fans will now be able to look back with classic episodes as well as looking to the future with the new film-length episode in November.
“For some fans watching their lost episodes will be like going back in time.”
Rumours that up to 100 missing episodes have been recovered are thought to be unfounded however.
