Lost Doctor Who episodes found in 'eclectic' collection [View all]
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g7kwq1k11oA 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 William Hartnell, tackling a Dalek plan to take over Earth, the solar system and the galaxy in a storyline only ever shown in the UK.
Peter Purves, who played the Doctor's assistant Steven Taylor, was invited to the Phoenix Cinema in Leicester on Wednesday under false pretences 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.
