List of incomplete Doctor Who serials
- List of incomplete Doctor Who serials
This is a list of "Doctor Who" serials that no longer exist in any complete form in the BBC archives. They are incomplete due to the BBC's former policy of holding only a limited archive of episodes, and wiping tapes belonging to shows for which they did not see a potential future market.[cite web|url=http://www.purpleville.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/rtwebsite/archive.htm|title=BBC Archive Holdings|accessdate=2008-01-05|publisher=Doctor Who Restoration Team] Many other shows, such as "Z-Cars" and "The Wednesday Play", have been similarly affected.][cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/treasurehunt/missing/index.shtml|title=Missing Episodes|publisher=BBC|work=BBC Online Treasure Hunt|accessdate=2008-01-05] Since the 1980s there have been intensive efforts by various groups, such as the Doctor Who Restoration Team, to recover episodes wiped by the BBC, but which survive in recordings kept by non-UK broadcasters and private individuals. As a result, many episodes at one time believed lost have been recovered, allowing for the recompilation of several previously incomplete "Doctor Who" serials, such as "Tomb of the Cybermen" and "Invasion of the Dinosaurs". However, despite these best efforts, a number of episodes from the period 1964-1973 remain either lost, only available in fragments or - in the case of episodes produced/broadcast between 1970-74 - are complete but in a format different from the original broadcast.]All missing episodes exist in audio form and many of the stories have "tele-snaps" taken during filming which have been used in recreating some lost episodes. In addition, some brief excerpts from several episodes exist, from sources such as censor edits and extracts featured on other programmes such as "Blue Peter". Most of the extant footage from the missing episodes and incomplete serials was released on the "Doctor Who DVD releases#1Lost in Time" boxset.
