Lost Doctor Who episodes found

Yep, this is story for old rope (which often happens when something like a big anniversary is coming up, good time for clickbait)

Paul Vanezis says he knows of 3 episodes apparently with private collectors. Phil Morris says he knows 6. We don't know if the 3 and 6 are the same. But we do know that the people who need to know about them for the best chance of seeing them returned have the details.  The BBC have a policy as a public entity of not paying hard cash for returned eps (I think they offered to give away Dalek props at one stage) as, well, it's licence fee cash and they did pay for the eps the first time round.  They also can't accept any kind of crowdfunding which has been suggested a lot by those who don't get what the BBC is. They're not PBS and not a commercial entity. 

We can but hope and wait. The people who have them (and Paul V is SOLID, so I'd go with his 3 figure) know what they have and the last thing we need is another case of some campaign to go after these people till they return them as so many have done with Stef Coburn recently. The best people are on the case and if we don't get them? We'll get animations and recons. And a show that adds new eps every year on TV. We'll live.
