Alright, buckle up, fellow BBC preservationists. After months of digging through archives and correspondence, I've compiled a list of BBC TV programmes that are completely lost due to wiping. Lost gems include Dad's Army (some early episodes), Doctor Who (97 episodes!), and The Wednesday Play. Ain't no doubt, this cultural tragedy still stings. Hit me up if you've got leads on any private collections! #bringbackourshows

I've been part of several efforts to recover lost BBC programmes, and it's always a race against time. Nitrate film decay, magnetic tape degradation—you name it. Your work cataloguing lost episodes is invaluable. I'll be sure to channel any info I get through my network and direct it your way.

Fascinating list. I'm in touch with a few collectors of vintage TV recordings who might have some leads. No promises, but I'll keep an eye out for anything on this list. This kind of work keeps history alive, so big props for what you're doing.

Hear me out—what if the Beeb's got a secret vault somewhere with all the lost episodes and they're just waiting for the right time to release them for BIG money? I'm not saying it's true, but c'mon, who really buys the whole 'wiping for space' story anymore?

Quality post, mate. It's a travesty we've lost so much classic Who. I've been trading reconstructions and telesnaps for years; if anyone's got rare footage, let's talk. By the way, you should look up the Restoration Team's work—those folks do miracles with whatever scraps they've got.
