That's a VERY impressive collection! The PBS stations in my viewing area only aired from Pertwee's debut "SpearHead from Space" through the concluding serial with McCoy, "Survival". I did eventually tape the consecutive stories from "Spearhead..." through "Castrovalva", but from that point, I only recorded sporadic stories that caught my interest. I now wish I had recorded the others faithfully. Georgia Public Television had "promised" during one pledge break they'd purchase the earlier serials (the ones with all episodes intact) from the Hartnell and a Troughton eras, but donations faltered and they cut their losses. They did, however, air "An Unearthly Child" that night and I recorded it. Though fire did destroy some footage, the sad reality is that most of the missing episodes resulted from budgetary reasons. The BBC ordered "X" number of videotapes to be "wiped" so they could be used for current shows. It was, in theory, a preventable tragedy. Sincerely, Bill
