Type 40 • A Doctor Who Podcast

Episode 166: Found! Missing Episodes Update Spring 2026

Doubtless you were as delighted as we were, to see the news of two fresh re-discoveries of previously lost classic Doctor Who episodes from 1965, a few weeks ago…

Our Type 40 regular discussion panel couldn’t wait to get together and speculate on the where’s, how’s and when’s as the story was continuing to break! What a treat to be joined by one of the fandom’s most knowledgeable voices and engaging podcasters, Tim Burrows as our guest.

The conversation focusses not just on the episodes themselves but inspiring work being done to preserve the films containing those William Hartnell finds by a team of volunteers, for registered charity Film Is Fabulous!

Tim gives us the inside track on the day classic series star, Peter Purves was treated to a top secret screening and how we can all help further the efforts to locate and preserves more? You can listen in HERE now:
