Before I am shot down in flames, this seems to be regularly mentioned in articles surrounding missing episodes of Doctor Who, but as far as I can see the story seems to originate from the mid 1990s when the purported Canadian Broadcasting Corporation sealed warehouse could not be catalogued or searched due to severe staffing shortages due to underfunding (the story differed as to whether it was CBC Edmonton or in Toronto, as I recollect).
Did anything ever develop from this? Does the place actually exist? Has the CBC done nothing in the last 10 years if it did exist?!
It just occurs to me that if Dr Who is going down so well in Canada at the moment (according to Outpost Gallifrey, the ratings have been good there) then a burst of renewed interest might be the right point for the Restoration Team/official finders at the BBC to raise the subject, and ask the CBC to look.
In fact, given Dr Who's favourable status with the BBC top brass at the moment, maybe it's even something the Execs could be persuaded to raise with their CBC counterparts?
It's just a thought.
