Rich Johnson dropped a big rumor on Bleeding Cool this morning. In case you don't know, Rich is a longtime comic blogger who has worked for the BBC in the past. He's notorious for breaking stories and causing trouble in the comic world.
What I’ve been hearing, and some of it is attributed to an eccentric
engineer who worked for broadcasters across Africa with a taste for
science fiction and a habit of taking things for “safe keeping”, is that
the BBC have secured a large number of presumed-wiped episodes of early Doctor Who.
And there are lots. Lots and lots. Completed serials that we’ve only
had incomplete before, full series that nothing existed of. Not
everything. But heaps and heaps. Possibly even The Full Hartnell.
And this
Rich says he's got two good sources on this. If he's wasn't the one claiming this, I probably wouldn't give it a second look or post anything on it.

Now promises of this kind have been made many times before. Sometimes
they’ve come true, sometimes they have now. But I’m told to expect,
among others, a full Evil Of The Daleks from 1967. Up till now, the BBC only had the second of seven episodes, after that film was found in a car boot sale.
There’s even the rumour that the much touted DVD set Regenerations out
this month, with its previewed animation clip of the regeneration
between the first and second Doctors is a bluff, and they now have the
full The Tenth Planet in which the Doctor regenerated for the
first time which will be released in this set. But that strikes me as
wish-fulfillment too far. Would be very clever though.
