Something that I've been wondering about recently.
I thought it was the Highlanders, but I'm not 100% sure...

It makes me so mad that my chances of watching Jamie's first outing are practically zero. I mean, Feast of Steven's absence I can put up with - but Jamie? Grr...

The tapes were wiped 2 months after broadcast but when were the film negatives destroyed. After all the story aired in Australia in 1967 and Zambia in 1970 so the film negatives were kept at least until 1970

It was The Highlanders which was Wiped in 1967 and the very last one was fury from the Deep in 1974

Galaxy 4 might have been the last film copy to be junked before the order came through to stop the junkings.

I thought the last one to go was Galaxy 4... The thread is talking about the wiping of the original transmission videotapes, not the BBC Enterprises 16mm film telerecordings. |

Wasn't there a tape labelled EoW 5 which turned out to have been reused?

In 2014 we will be saying it was 40 years ago that the very last transmission tape was wiped. RIP

And as an aside to the OPs question, which episodes existed for the longest on VT? I suspect it was Mission to the Unknown which, IIRC, was retained on VT for over 7 years before it's deletion. I'm steeling myself to be corrected here.  |
