Arty Facts

[Repeated from Sunday 1.30pm.] Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today: Master J presents a special show to mark the rediscovery of two long-lost Doctor Who episodes from 1965 (the first major recovery in over a decade), with an interview with Dr Who fan and archivist Ian Levine. Originally part of a three-hour conversation, we explore why so many Dr Who episodes went missing in the first place, how discoveries like this actually happen, and why television history occasionally depends on cardboard boxes, private collectors and a bit of luck. In a marriage of fan enthusiasm and chaos, one man attempts to salvage a cultural archive! For more information visit Master J on Facebook.
