    Stam Fine Reviews nothing, but instead looks at why there are same gaps in the BBC's archive holdings of Doctor Who. After nearly 50 years of searching, there
    are still many episodes from the 1960s completely missing. We look at why, how and when, why things turned around and the search to recover those missing bits of
    history.

    There nearly 100 missing episodes, all from the William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton eras from the 1960s, though many of colour Episodes of Jon Pertwee's era have also been affected. We'll also look at how these have now been restored.
