UPDATE: Since publishing this article, claims to have spoken to John Franklin who has debunked some of the claims in The Guardian's article, calling the piece a "misrepresentation of the conversation between myself and the journalist."

Some rare, lost Doctor Who episodes have been discovered – but there's a catch.&nb💞sp;

calls "amateur sleuths". The episodes star William Hartnell, the first Doctor, and one installment involves the Daleks. 

But, according to the report, the footage owners are unwilling to give the lost episodes to the BBC. But♓ why are these owners so reluctant? Well, it seems to co𝕴me down to the worry that the holders of lost footage will get into legal trouble for harboring property that has been taken from the BBC.

"The collectors involved are ex-employees and so are terrified,ไ" film collector John Franklin, who knows where the two lost episodes are, told the publication. "The rule was that you didn't take anything, even if it had been thrown out. But if you loved film and knew it would be important one day, what did you do? So what we need now is an amnesty."

Doctor Who's 60tꦆh anniversary is swiftly approaching, but – appropriately enough – only time will tell if those rare, lost episodes will make it to the BBC in time for the celebrations. 

"We welcome members of the public contacting us regarding programmes they believe are lost archive recordings, and are happy to work with them to restore lost or missing programmes to the BBC archives," the BBC൲ has s🌞aid, though it remains to be seen if this will reassure collectors with missing footage.
