The "delete it, who cares?" mindset of a lot of studios now reminds me of how the BBC didn't think it was important to save their history either and mindlessly destroyed millions of pounds worth of their own IP.

considering how many people buy whole series on DVD and Blu Ray now, it's astonishing to think that it was ever even a quesstion to keep filmed material. But, I guess with streaming, the idea of even buying that will eventually fall to the wayside.

For some reason I can't fathom, some dudes are replying to this and trying to justify the BBC's decision? Going on and on about why they did it. I know why they did it, it's clear why they did it, doesn't make it any less stupid. History has proven the tape erasing to be a bad decision. Full stop.

That picture looks like it out of the craziest corporate work place harassment video ever.

The given reason was that recording tape was quite expensive, and home release was not a real option when the likes of Doctor Who were first broadcast. That, and the corporation have always had a somewhat strained relationship with it.

I have bought all the Tom Baker seasons on Bluray they did save and would have bought them all if they hadn't done that. Bizarre they didn't understand the value of an obviously valuable thing.
