Two Doctor Who Episodes Recovered!

This is a happy time for Doctor Who fans. Yesterday, the BBC announced that two previously missing Doctor Who episodes from the 60's had been recovered: "Air Lock", the third episode of the 1965 William Hartnell story "Galaxy 4" (pictured at left); and episode 2 of the 1967 Patrick Troughton story, "The Underwater Menace" (pictured below). These are the first episodes recovered since the second episode of "The Daleks' Masterplan" was found in 2004. Their recovery brings the total number of missing episodes down to 106, and brings new hope that further lost episodes may not be lost forever.

You can find full stories on the recovery (and view clips from the recovered episodes) here, here, and here.
