Verlorene Doctor Who-Episoden in der „eklektischen“ Sammlung gefunden

> A cardboard box found in a collector’s „ramshackle“ collection of vintage films contained two episodes of Doctor Who that have not been viewed since airing in the 1960s.

> The episodes feature the first incarnation of the Doctor, played by William Hartnell, tackling a Dalek plan to take over Earth, the solar system and the galaxy in a storyline only ever shown in the UK.

> Peter Purves, who played the Doctor’s assistant Steven Taylor, was invited to the Phoenix Cinema in Leicester on Wednesday under false pretenses to view the two episodes, and he said: „My flabber has never been so gasted.“

> Restored versions of the episodes will be released on BBC iPlayer this Easter.
