I have been video-tapeing the Dr.Who episodes shown in my area on
pbs (hurray for no commercials).  So far I have a complete set of
Tom Baker, "the five doctors", and it looks as if they are going
to show Whats-his-name (after Tom).  But I have never seen (except
in "the five doctors" ) the early  doctors (although they all look
as if they would have been nice to see).  If anyone out there could
supply these on tape, or put me in touch with a source, I would
be eternally grateful

It is *hell* getting Episodes of even Tom Baker Dr. Who that I have
not already seen, and I have not seen very many.  I too would be interested
in video tapes of the good doctor, because I believe that no
tv station gives the show the respect and airplay it deserves.  Perhaps
someone could interest the BBC in marketing them on video tape?
What a dangerous precedent that would set!

Does anyone know of video tapes for William Hartnell and
Patrick Troughton episodes?  Has anyone seen any of them 
recently?  My understanding is that the BBC
destroyed the original tapes of many of these episodes in
a house-cleaning before they realized that the show was such
a classic.  I have never seen any of these episodes and would
like to get them.
