To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who, we play extracts of some of the lost audio of early episodes, and tell the story of how, in late 2018, Kaleidoscope was delighted to be contacted by one of our volunteers, Robert Wyn, who had been given some audio reels of Doctor Who off air recordings. As with all Kaleidoscope projects, we returned the material to the BBC free of charge so all may enjoy in the future.
