When Dr Who rematerialised
TIME LORDS have a habit of appearing from nowhere, but even the BBC was pleasantly surprised when all four episodes of an early Dr Who classic, The Tomb of the Cybermen, materialised in a cellar in Hong Kong. "It's the greatest find of all time," says Jeremy Bentham, of the fanzine called the Dr Who Bulletin. "It's a dream come true. Tomb of the Cybermen is a masterpiece."
For the BBC, which cheerily wiped the master copy in the 1970s, along with hundreds of other Dr Who programmes, the find means more than satisfaction at lost treasures regained —it means more money in the coffers, via the video shops. The search for more lost programmes is now in top gear — several episodes of Z Cars recently turned up in a Cyprus vault, and more Dr Who tapes were tracked down in Nigeria — but 110 episodes are still missing. Time to turn out the cellar again.
