SEVERAL lost episodes of 1960s Doctor Who are probably owned by private collectors, an expert has revealed.

At present, 97 shows starring the first Time Lords, William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton, are missing from the BBC archives.

The master tapes were believed to have been destroyed in the 1970s when it was thought no one would want to watch the black and white episodes again.
