it seems canada is not a likely source of episodes unless some slipped into private hands. there is a canadian film institute www.cfi-icf.ca/I've never heard of them storing films - any more than the cinema down the street does. Anything like that would go to Archives Canada. Their holdings are well documented - the only thing they hold is a VHS copy of Armegeddon Factor recorded off-air from TVO at Rideau Hall - perhaps Jean Sauve was a fan ... CBC's archives are also well documented. The only information that CBC might yield is if something is buried in their written archives which are in storage in a warehouse somewhere ... but all one would expect there, is confirmation that it was shipped back to BBC - in the unlikely event such routine mundane paperwork was ever retained. BBC is the place to look - and ex-employee(s) ... likely a very small office - and I would presume that 45-years later, that most are dead. Not that there aren't other things to be found in Archives Canada ... I pointed out here years ago that there seemed to be a complete run of Stryker of the Yard - I think that's what it was called. And I'm not sure if anyone has ever confirmed which Sykes episodes they hold from the 1960s.

this has probably been asked before...
but is canada one of those places where the episodes would have been aired in different territories at different times due to the time zones?
...and if so, did this mean that the prints had to be shipped around the country?
...and if so, has the last area office/station where they were shown been checked?

this has probably been asked before but is canada one of those places where the episodes would have been aired in different territories at different times due to the time zones? asked before on this very board ... many, many, many times. ... (most recently - missingepisodes.proboards20.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=who&thread=3532&page=3#32653The answer is No. Doctor who ran in the same time-slot nationally. Broadcast centrally from Toronto and Montreal - 1-hour earlier in Halifax, 1-hour later in Winnipeg, 2-hours later in Alberta, 3-hours later in Vancouver. CBC had a coast-to-coast microwave network running in the mid-1950s. It was old-hat by the time Doctor Who aired in 1965. Now there was a western facility, where they captured broadcasting coming down the pipe from Toronto, and played back the same tape an hour or two later ... but the tapes would have been immediately recycled.
