Nigerian Whovians, get ready for a thrilling episode of your favorite British sci-fi series, Doctor Who. The BBC has made a groundbreaking discovery that will take viewers on a time-traveling journey back to 1965. Two long-lost episodes of Doctor Who, titled "The Nightmare Begins" and "Devil's Planet," have been found intact in a private collection in the United Kingdom. The episodes, featuring the first Doctor, played by the legendary William Hartnell, were donated to the Film Is Fabulous charitable trust by an anonymous collector. What's remarkable is that the collector recognized the value of the episodes but couldn't recall how they were acquired. The recovery effort, led by Professor Justin Smith of Leicester's De Montfort University, has made it possible for these episodes to be broadcast again after 61 years. Showrunner Russell T Davies expressed his excitement on Instagram, announcing that the episodes will air in the UK in April and will be available for free on the BBC iPlayer. This is a significant step in preserving the history of Doctor Who, which has captivated audiences for decades. The discovery of these lost episodes highlights the challenges faced by the BBC in the 1960s and 1970s, when they had a policy of destroying film or reusing videotapes. As a result, many episodes of popular UK shows, including Doctor Who, were lost forever. While this discovery is a significant milestone, it also raises questions about the future of Doctor Who. The show has undergone changes in recent years, including the departure of star Ncuti Gatwa and the end of the BBC's working relationship with Disney. However, the BBC has confirmed that the show will continue, with Russell T Davies working on new episodes. For Nigerian fans of Doctor Who, this news is a reminder that the show's rich history and mythology are still being explored and rediscovered. As the Doctor would say, "Time is relative," and with this discovery, Whovians around the world can look forward to experiencing a piece of Doctor Who history that was thought to be lost forever.
