Here is a very brief follow up to the issue of the lost BBC archives/DOCTOR WHO footage. There are a number of fan made audio recordings of the programs that are in existence and you can listen to the audio of these programs. the bbc is in possession of all these tapes and has even released a few legally and commercially such as THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN and THE WEB OF FEAR. Other non-commercial releases are floating around the web on fan websites. When listening to the audios it can be tough to follow at times because they were not recorded as radio theater and are meant to be watched, but they are not impossible to decipher either. so, if you need a lost DOCTOR WHO fix, the fan audio recordings can serve the purpose of feeding your wants.
