So many great ideas on this thread! My favourites are:
1. Find a younger Ian Levine and get him on the case earlier. He will get the job done! 2. Set up in an overseas territory and order all the stories from the first 3 Doctors. If you are going to do it, why not go the whole hog and set yourself up in Monaco or somewhere fancy like that! Then flag them all as destroyed to close any routes of investigation and head on home when ready. 3. Get a flat with all the equipment needed to record off of the TV in a good format, maybe using some sort of timer to allow you to jump forwards and not spend more time than is needed in the past.
Money shouldn't be an issue - if Goodnight Sweetheart has taught us anything, you can print the bank notes needed for the 1960's and take them back with you!

Get a job doing telecine at the BBC (or BBC Enterprises - whichever one it is) and run yourself an extra copy whenever you do one for overseas sales.
Better still, though, would be first to earn enough money with your future knowledge of grand national winners to buy your own 1" video player plus loads of 1" video tapes (let's assume 2" is impractical), get that job at the BBC and then get copies of everything in that format up until about 1976.

Richard That would affect the timeline too much as you would be changing too many factors at the BBC, the easier thing would be to the BBC trash disposal as that wouldn't affect too much

Sorry for bumping this thread, but if I got transported to the 1960s, I would try to convince Waris Hussein and Terry Nation to keep copies of the episodes they directed/contributed in. For Waris, it would include every episode he directed including Marco Polo. For Terry, it would include every Dalek story and appearance, including the Daleks Master Plan.

It just wasn't a facility that was available then. Tery nation may of possibly been able to get a copy of an episode if he'd made it part of his contract in negotiations so he could use it for selling in America but directors,actors and certainly not writers got dupe film prints....why do you think telesnaps were so prevalent if a director could just go oh run me off an extra copy of that please.........you may as well wish you could fo back in time and fish any films that were skipped out if the bin and Bury them in an air right bunker then zip forward and unearth them. Both are as likely

personally I'd try to get the bbc to keep the film and instead get them to start a theater of sorts where people can pay to watch specific stories/serials, it would be helpful to not only Doctor Who but other shows as well from the time.

Phillip Hinchcliffe did air this suggestion during a lunch break from filming Genesis of the Daleks, episode 3, in the BBC waitress-service canteen. Saturday morning cinema for kids, 60s Who eps. 16mm blown up to 35mm. What became of it, I wonder? Might have saved a few eps from junking.

Probably rights issues. Payments for every episode would have to be renegotiated.

This thread is worthy of a Dr Who or Sci Fi TV series itself. I think the answer would be take some available tech camera recording stuff back with you, amaze someone working in TV, to convince them to hope you access to tape library and film away?
