I found out a long time ago that the reason that not all Dr Who's are available is because the broadcaster, the BBC in this case, treated the tape as a reusable resource and so would copy over episodes. So, unless someone copied it via their VHS player, certain shows and episodes are lost forever.

Then there's youtube. I wanted to watch "Lathe of Heaven" that someone recorded off of PBS with their VHS recorder and uploaded it to youtube.
One more thing, as a little kid, I was born in '59, we could buy super 8 movie segments, such as a short segment from Planet of the Apes. BTW, I put all of my DVDs in those DVD loose leaf pages and hold them together with loose-leaf rings and all CDs are in sleeves so they take up a lot less room. Whatever paperwork came with them is stored with them.
