Rediscovery of lost television episodes
I was wondering if any lost TV episodes have been found recently.

I’m not sure how much publicity these things get, unless they’re Doctor Who.

I still find it amazing the BBC taped over old shows to save money. Just the mindset that these works they created were disposable, one-time, things of questionable value compared to the medium they were stored on. :eek:

All of the UK's television's first man in the moon coverage has been lost.

You can often tell which shows were made with an eye on international re-sale because they were usually shot on film and in colour, relatively early by historical standards, though this doesn’t ever have seemed to be a BBC policy and the best examples of it in UK production come from independent studios - the likes of Gerry Anderson for example. These shows have survived intact even right back into the 1960s because the film stock couldn’t be re-used. Aside from the possibility of selling certain shows internationally there was no monetary value in programmes made for Saturday teatime television until home video recorders became widely available in the early 80s. That’s why the BBC carried on taping over stuff until the late 1970s, even after it had stopped doing so for selected examples of its output that it had begun to realise might have cultural value. |

Gonna be really hard to find specific shows that have been lost then discovered then lost again then recovered again isn't it
