So much of Doctor Who ’s early past is lost to metre — not in the romanticist , time - travel common sense , but in that old BBC archival policy meant that the original record of the earliest years of Who in the ‘ 60s were wipe , leave well-nigh 100 episodesseemingly gone constantly . But one tiny slice of vintage Who is bring a resurgence next calendar month .
While the original footage of over 90 episode from Doctor Who ’s first two Doctors has been lost , many have the unique fount of get their audio exist on , mainly through the consecrate employment of fans who recorded the episodes on programme ( ah , the heady days of a pre - internal video world!)—and the BBC has re - release several “ lost ” stories by couple that audio withnewly created animation . Now , it ’s planning to do the same again according toDoctor Who News , with a missing Patrick Troughton story : “ The Wheel in Space . ”

Only two of the six episode that make up “ Wheel”—a Cyberman story that infix the second Doctor companion Zoe Heriot , play by Wendy Padbury — currently exist in the BBC ’s archive . But for the first time , a 10 - min slice from the first episode ( which is still overlook ) is being gear up for a cover at the British Film Institute in London next month as part of the BFI ’s “ Missing Believed Wiped ” programming , a regular event examining the account of missing boob tube in the UK and the efforts being made to convey parts of British metier chronicle back to life .
The successiveness will finally be include as part of a BBC DVD release in the time to come — just as this small snip , according to Rob Ritchie , one of the squad who worked on the animation , rather than as part of a wider attempt to reestablish “ The Wheel in Space ” through animation . But for now , another missing slice of Doctor Who history is getting a snatch of a positive feedback .
