Just a random thought, but is there any chance that some itv stations may have some dr who episodes misplaced in their archives.

I'd highly doubt it

It's unlikely, but isn't there a precedent..? Wasn't there some footage from The Complete And Utter History of Britain, or something found at the BBC a while back..? |

Its an interesting question Felix. I dont exactly know the answer to it either. I know there is a lot of missing ITV material. I would be quite interested to learn the story of the end of ITV junkings etc and when they started an official archive.
Any experts on the forum?

Missing missing from one company turning up at the other has happened on a few rare occasions. So it's always possible, even if unlikely.

An example is the Bill Grundy/Sex Pistols SPAT of 01/12/76, broadcast on Thames TV's Today programme. I was STAGGERED to find that this was a Bob Pratt tape! Thames do not have the original, and this only exists on a tape that Bob Pratt had made!

I did that Malcolm McLaren also recorded it onto a Philips 1500 machine on transmission although i've no idea if it was the whole show or just the Pistols part (or indeed what happened to it after McLaren's death). To add to the things that turned up at the wrong TV company, the BBC have a recording of a 1966 Rediffusion election programme (with Rediffusion continuity clock at start) and some colour rehearsal footage on 2" from the Thames 1968 Horne A Plenty turned up at BBC Pebble Mill, according to BFI literature for MBW. |

what got me thinking about this, was i was surfing and (greg this might be of interest to you) but i came accross the Crossroads Fan Page (Stay with me) they have quite a good section on junking and recoveries there.

I suppose conceivably some BBC material sold abroad could have been returned by the broadcaster concerned in a batch of ITV programmes - assuming at least some of the ITV companies sold material overseas in the same manner as the BBC i.e. either to be destroyed or returned once the rights had expired.
Can't see how a Rediffusion election programme from 1966 would turn up at the BBC though - I'd love to see that!

Well, a Dr Who Quad was discovered at Thames… where it was due to be transferred as a favour for someone at the BBC. As I recall – and it was long, long ago – the Beeb employee had handed over the tape to be copies onto a domestic format only the plan was uncovered, the BBC employee lost his/her job and instead went into publishing. Or something like that…

Are there any former ITV franchises that have yet to be explored? I see the named ATV London regularly in conjunction with sport but have no idea what there other output consisted of.

Slightly O/T - but definitely worth mentioning....Laurence, Julien Temple had a video recorder in the late 70's and is known to have kept some tapes. Some recordings were used in '96's 'the Filth and the Fury'....if anyone has contact details for Mr Temple, please let me know! I don't think a letter addressed to 'Julien Temple, Bridgwater, Somerset' will cut the mustard!
(by the way, it is COMMON knowledge he lives in Bridgwater!)

If an ITV company was interviewing an actor and required Dr.Who clips for this or some other type of programme, would the BBC have supplied full episodes?
