Special Edition: Film is Fabulous!  

Film is Fabulous! is the organisation dedicated to preserving vulnerable film collections across the UK — a mission that resonates deeply with fans of lost television treasures, especially those captivated by the thought of missing Doctor Who episodes.  

In this episode, Tim is joined by three key members and trustees of the Film is Fabulous! team: established film collector John Franklin, De Montfort University’s Professor Justin Smith, and Sue Malden, the renowned former Head of Broadcast Archives at the BBC.  

Together, they delve into the organisation’s recent progress, their new recognition as a Charitable Trust, and some eyebrow-raising remarks that have sparked fresh speculation — could some long-lost Doctor Who episodes still exist within UK film collections?
