It was a fire and the missing episodes have been recovered from private collections

My bad, been a while since I read about it and must’ve gotten confused between BBC and all the times American companies taped over old shows. (Including the goddamn moon landing, good job, NASA/
I knew some had been recovered over the years but we’re all of them found?

I also started there in parallel to watching the new stuff and the First Doctor isn’t that enjoyable. The second is cool but the episodes aren’t, the third has good stories he himself isn’t that cool, the fourth is perfection and that’s how far I got.
You understand many things better when watching the old stuff and you see the series grow which is quite cool.
