Hi, I'm curious what television shows were in those film cans. Anything unique you saved from oblivion? What time period were the shows produced? Are there no television archives in New Zealand? I would have thought by now television stations would have been swept top to bottom by those looking for Dr. Who, and anything else found send to archives. How can a television station hire someone so uncurious, who cares so little for television as to happy throw out film cans without seeing whats in them? Eek! I didn't actually say what you've quoted me as saying there. That was Angus H of this parish.

Yes, well... we've all said similar things in the past. "Oh, better people than us have been looking for these things and found nowt." And then a bloke called Phil Morris came along...

New Zealand almost rival the BBC for getting rid of their own stuff from the same era. Very little survives in full from the 1970s, either. This wasn't just the case in the 1970's. For example, almost all of the first two seasons of The Billy T James Show (arguably New Zealand's most iconic television series) were wiped after transition in the mid 1980's and are now gone forever. Unfortunately attitudes don't seem to have changed from my personal experiences down here and they don't seem to be attached to that generation either. I saved a pile of NZBC film cans about a year ago when the facilities manager (in his late 20's) of the old television station found them in the attic and was in the process of throwing them out (note that he didn't know what they were and was still perfectly at ease disposing of them). Just imagine if one of those had been a Doctor Who or any other missing TV. The sad reality is there are young people out there as well as old who still don't understand the potential value of these items. Our very own Adam Lee? Eek! Technically he could be charged or, more likely, face disciplinary action for dumping property that technically didn't belong to him. Probably won't happen though. We have so much missing TV that it beggars belief that people could still be shortsighted about it. Many of these I grew up watching. Remember "Radio Times", the variety show that first catapulted Billy T to stardom? We used to watch that all the time. And "Nice One, Stu"? Those are likely gone now too. Admittedly a lot of our earlier home-grown stuff wasn't much cop but it would be nice to have it still. I wonder if NZ On Air or the National Archives have a remit yet to keep everything? I know they often call out for stuff, even on home formats.

To be honest, even though I will always rate The Dalek Invasion of Earth highly I have also always loved The Web Planet. Yes, the Zarbi are far superior to the dopey Dalek and others in The Chase and always will be in my book!

The first Harty story I ever saw was The Dalek Invasion of Earth so that gets my vote on nostalgia, as well as merit.
