Japan and South Korea

[douglaswulf]

There are a number of other places on earth where color Pertwee episodes may have been shown. Among these are Japan and South Korea. I just list all 13 episodes sought in color although probably they were not all sold there.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The BBC is searching for color copies of 13 episodes of the series Doctor Who. Though filmed in color, these episodes today exist in the archives only as black-and-white prints. Color footage is sought to restore these episodes for release on DVD.

In the 1970s, at least some of the episodes listed below were broadcast in color in Japan and South Korea.

The episodes come from the stories:

The Ambassadors of Death
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 6
Part 7

The Mind of Evil
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6

Planet of the Daleks
Part 3

Invasion of the Dinosaurs (Onscreen title: Invasion)
Part 1

If you have a videotape of these episodes in color or have any information about color copies of these episodes, please contact the BBC by sending an email to:

The original broadcast tapes may or may not have been destroyed.

The BBC is also searching for episodes of Doctor Who that are completely missing from the archives.

You can see the full list of missing episodes of Doctor Who (as well as missing episodes from other British TV shows such as Adam Adamant Lives, A for Andromeda, etc.) at:

If you think you may have a missing episode as a 16mm print or a copy in another format (8mm off-air or videotape), or have any information about these episodes, please contact the BBC at the above email.

No possibility of locating episodes in Japan (don't know about Korea). I lived there for 9 years and can speak the language. Doctor Who *was* shown in Japan on NHK but not until 1993 (which was the earliest) and that was season 13 (Tom Baker's second year). So no chance of any Pertwee episodes from Japan.

That's not quite correct - a privately-owned cable channel called JCTV-2 did screen some Pertwees, including Ambassadors of Death and Terror of the Autons, in 1978.

Japan apparently also screened the first season of Sylvester McCoy - or at least according to a 1989 issue Doctor Who Magazine; although I've not been able to verify when / if this did happen.
