I have read that the BBC is searching for color copies of 13 episodes of the series Doctor Who. Though filmed in color, these episodes today exist in the archives only as black-and-white prints. Color footage is sought to restore these episodes for release on DVD.
In the late 1970s, 11 of the 13 episodes were broadcast in color on WTTW Chicago (Ch. 11). The episodes come from the stories ‘The Ambassadors of Death’ and ‘The Mind of Evil.’
If you have a videotape of these episodes in color or have any information about color copies of these episodes, please contact the BBC by sending an email to:
info@restoration-team.co.uk
(That’s info AT restoration-team.co.uk, in case the above email address does not appear properly in the posting.)
