If a gingerbread Tardis is not to your taste perhaps you would prefer cake, icing and chocolate while waiting for 6:20pm next Saturday?
Still on the subject of Doctor Who -- sort of -- the Missing Believed Wiped team are trying to drum up new members for their Facebook group.Although it's likely many shows are irrevocably now the stuff of mere memory, often programmes were transferred to film for sale overseas and it is this that gives the MBW team hope that one day the shows will live again. While foreign broadcasters were supposed to either return the prints to be destroyed or destroy them themselves once they had been shown, this often did not happen and were filed away and forgotten in the vaults of TV stations worldwide. Films also 'escaped' destruction, onto the collector circuit .
Episodes have been recovered from both these sources many times throughout the years and hopefully will continue to be for many years to come.
The MBW Facebook group complements the work of the MBW web site, aiming to group to spread the word about the 'lost' classics of television, film and radio and maybe even find a way of plugging some of the gaps. Have you, or your parents or grandparents, got a collection of Film Reels tucked away in an attic or shed somewhere, gathering dust? Did someone in your family have one of the earliest video recorders in the late 1960s?
