How Doctor Who's Missing Episodes Came Back [Part 3]
Фильм және анимация
Today we discuss how the Jon Pertwee episodes came back, why some exist in colour and others don't, and how colour was brought back!
This is the last in a three part series, which is a spiritual successor to my Missing Episodes documentary series.

Hi friends! Just a note, the colour restoration is a LOT more complicated in reality, but I have simplified it to make it more accessible to those who have no experience with the process. Some generalisations may be present for this reason. Thanks for being nice to me :)

Thanks josh for a thoroughly enjoyable three part series on the the return of the missing doc who episode s and colourisation of the pertwees stories. Not dwelling too long on each story and how it was found it was but just perfect in delivering how they came back to us .would be great to see those rumoured 6 episode s returned as well .

If these people hoarding lost episodes don't get them professionally archived immediately they could be lost to time. It's so greedy to risk them being lost just to hold out for other episodes.

One minor error: The references to "BBC Canada" are incorrect - the BBC Canada station did not exist until 2001, long after the finds described here. The first find belonged to TVO Ontario, one of Canada's provincial broadcasters, and the second and third sets belonged to CKVU, a then-independent station based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Neither station had any affiliation to the BBC.
Jon pertwee was my favourite doctor because he was my era doctor. When my dad said he was the third doctor it blew my mind at six years old . Never saw Troughton and Hartnell until BBC2 repeated a few episodes in the 80s. always wondered why they never showed more.

I was the same. I've got a substantial gap in my Who knowledge of 3rd to 5th Doctors, minus the odd episode such as Earthshock. But during the early 90's they started to repeat the Classic Era. Patrick Troughton became my favourite Classic Doctor, around this time. But I was always confused as a kid why he was in so few episodes. Not realising that they only repeated the episodes that were available.

And the only 4 parter that survived was The Krotons. Tomb of the Cybermen was found in 1992. Rest are 6 parters, 10 parter. William Hartnell 4 parters are Unearthly Child, The Aztecs, The Romans, The Space Museum, The Time Meddler, The Ark, The Gunfighters, The War Machines and most of those are Historicals. The Ark i could never watch fully, Space Museum isn't that great either. The War Machines, The Gunfighters, The Time Meddler my fav 4 parters and Un Eartly Child is good but the problem is back to 100, 000 BC.
It's funny the only reason chroma dots existed on those copies was due to someone not doing their job right and not using the filter to remove them

@@aaroncollins6411 And maybe mention the opening to Terror of the Zygons, which was cut from the original broadcast and only found and colorized recently.
I’m 44, and watched my first Doctor Who around 1982 (and haven’t stopped). I’m in Canada, we got an American PBS station and they broadcast the 3rd, 4th and 5th Doctors up to whatever was current. Then it would loop back to Pertwee, Baker, Davison. We also got the omnibus edition (all episodes edited together in a 90 minute story for 4 episodes. Mainly I wanted to mention that whenever they played Invasion of the Dinosaurs, it started right at episode 2, in the cliffhanger from episode 1. It always confused me as a kid when I would see this episode - I thought the TV station made a mistake! Thanks for clearing that up:) I love the nerd talk about colourization/colourisation/colorization!

I remember when they finally found the first episode of the Dino boys and premiered it on our local PBS, saying it had been found in Hong Kong or Singapore, I can't remember. But that it would only be in back and white. Its good to know they have recovered some of the color information and maybe with color restoration, they will be able to match and colorize properly. Considering the blue is the only component missing, I would think this might be easier in some ways. Plus they have the other episodes to work from as reference. So amazing all the hard work people have done around the world and at the BBC. What a great series, and so well produced! Thanks for making this for everyone to learn about those missing Dr. Who episodes and why that is.

Mine was KSPS in Spokane Washington, even though I lived in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. They never played any Hartnell or Troughton on PBS here though. Luckily another station, YTV (Canada’s version of Nickelodeon) aired it one episode at a time every afternoon at 4:30pm. They started at Hartnell and went all the way to Survival, then looped back. Took like..a long time! We’re definitely spoiled now with how easy it is to watch it!

Scary they waited until 1978 to realize how important Dr Who is to fans. Great video. Very informative.
Pertwee was MY Dr. as a kid. - Loved the brief rumour years ago that his son would be a new Doctor Who,total nonsense of course, but would have been fun anyway..Thanks for these videos,and to any collectors out there:- Please give the BBC any versions of missing episodes you may have,even incomplete or stills....Millions will be grateful.
Do you want to do a 4th part on animating missing episodes?
**Sustained applause** **Pause to look up the word “scourage”** **Decision that I like Josh’s definition better** **Sustained applause**
It is truly astonishing that episodes were still vanishing in the 1970s, when Doctor WHO had clearly become iconic. However, DW was not the only victim: some episodes of Doomwatch went missing, as did a number of the black & white era of the excellent ITV spy series Callan. I was pleasantly surprised that Moonbase Three, which was done in 1973 by Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks, is still available.
How dare you, the time monster is a masterpiece.... Seriously though I am one of the few that loves it.
I feel like the next thing that you should cover is the animated reconstructions. It's incredible how much they accomplished especially having very little to go off sometimes. And if we may never recover the remaining missing episodes in their original form, then maybe this is the route to go to complete the collection.
Josh thank you so much for this work you’ve done. These documentaries look every bit as good as the official BBC DVD extra features. Better in fact. You’re doing a great job helping to preserve history and I applaud you. Hello from Vancouver Canada:)
It's times like this I'm super grateful that a show like Doctor Who has fans as wild as the ones willing to search the globe for missing episodes.

Hey fellow Josh. Thanks for doing this series of videos. It’s so helpful and the whole process is just so sad and frustrating that it even happened in the first place.
This has been the best, clearest and most innuendo free explanation of the matter I have seen. Bravo! Thank you 🖤
Found your channel the other day, loving it, I have been following the missing stories for the last 30 years, even owned all the telensap pirates back in the day on ropey VHS , the way you have done this video, that appeals to those Whovians that didn't follow it as closely, and even myself who loves the narrative and structure of the timeline, or more the point my 16-year-old and 10-year-old, have been glued to them and it's given them a great understanding of how it happened and the old process, cheers for this, great content ;-)
Great as always. The lighting on your set really is fantastic
Thank you for these wonderful informative videos! I loved that just enough technical details were there for me to go dig deeper and yet for those not interested it was enough. I’m on the first camp in that I want to hear it all. technical details and all! Take care!
Wow, I've been so constantly amazed by this series! I knew next to nothing about the missing episodes and the following work and time that it took to bring them back, so this was beyond informative. It was put together super well and honestly I might be rewatching these episodes in the future. I can't wait to show them to my friend, as she's a major missing media fan. Excellent work, Mr. Snares!

A brilliant series, Josh - and I will certainly join you in saying a huge, "Thank you!" to everyone involved in the recovery, restoration and preservation of these gems.
Thanks so much for this riveting series, Josh. It was amazingly well researched and presented. I'm in awe of all the people both within and outside the Beeb (Ian Levene etc) who have been instrumental in preserving this incredible TV series. Your well deserved nod to them brought a lump to my throat. Excellent work all round. XX
Another lovely documentary. Thanks Josh! I'd love to see you cover the production of the reconstructions, including some of your own ones. Many are every bit as ingenious as the BBC's recovery efforts. I find the efforts people have gone to in order for us to enjoy these episodes again quite fascinating. In the 80s I remember there were many stories that didn't exist at all and we had to wait for the novelisation to experience them. Then the audio recordings surfaced and steadily the episodes have come back bit by bit in some form or other. It's an astonishing story that keeps on unfolding. Thanks for celebrating it.
Love your missing episodes videos Josh! You make me believe there will be a time when all missing episodes will be either found or animated. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into creating these gems.
Thank you Josh for another beautiful series of videos detailing how we got back so many classic episodes. Wonderful content as always, I even enjoyed the "boring technical parts", lol.

Am so glad you have made a welcome comeback with your awesome documentaries about the missing episodes. I think plenty of focus has been made on the missing Hartnell/Troughton episodes but , because we have them all, the Pertwee era has been skimmed over and not discussed as much. Yet again I found this , and the other two instalments highly entertaining, informative and wonderfully weaved together. A joy from beginning to end . I love your documentaries and what better way to settle down with a cup of tea on a chilly Winter UK day than in your visual company. Big thanks for what you do, as I now know first hand , how much effort it takes to put a programme together. It was your good self and Clever Dick Films channel that inspired me to have a go at doing something similar in the first place and i'm still going - you still continue to do so. I hope we dont get R.S.I in our Autumn years but I guess its worth suffering for our art 😁. Keep it up Mr Snares. Be safe, be well and be yourself. Crab Apple 🦀🍏

Josh, I started watching Dr. Who when it was shown on public tv here in the states (Maryland to be exact) back in the 70's. I remember them foundry and even my youngest daughter remember some of the Jon Pertwee episodes with fond memories since they were still being shown until into the eighties until the series was cancelled. Watching it on Public TV (a partially funded public enterprise, the other by the US Govt which by now reduced much of their funding but still enthusiastically supported by public donations) was the only way one could watch Dr Who. All of these folks who spent their time and energy searching out these missing episodes and the teams that painstakingly restored color to the black and white copies should all be given a Knighthood !
More great work! Thank you!
Another great video Josh.
Fantastic series Josh. Really enjoyed it. 🙂
More things I didn't know! I had no idea that so many of Jon Pertwee's episodes only existed in black and white to start with. I don't actually mind watching black & white (it can help with some off the less special of the special effects) but it's nice to see things in colour. Once again, a great video with so much info. Thanks, Josh! :-)
Great series, thanks. I would have watched these earlier episodes as a kid. It was mandatory viewing in our house. They were very scary at the time.
Loving this series mate. Well done. My thumb(s) thanks you as they now rest from hitting refresh.
I'm pretty sure I've seen Invasion of the Dinosaurs Episode One broadcast in Australia in colour around the old broadcast timeslot of Saturday or Sunday lunchtime in March 1985. My memory though is foggy with Death to the Daleks episode one in black and white though, I can neither confirm nor deny. The Time Warrior is my favourite of the entire season eleven which was next broadcast in 2004 in a complete classic series re-run on the ABC.
Outstanding work! Simply brilliant 👏 👌 💜 💛 💚 🧡
