Here are some examples of apollo coverage that the BBC have seen fit to gather together in one place. They do seem to play outside the UK (at least in Germany) www.bbc.co.uk/archive/moonlandings/ |

They've gathered it because it's pretty much all that is left. For some reason out of the 35 hours of special programming to cover the Apollo 11 mission almost all is missing, except for a few clips shown on other programmes (and therefore saved as part of those shows) and the pre-filmed reports.

The BBC has a rather bad reputation for their re-use of tapes in the 70's, including their taping over and loss of a large part of a season of Doctor Who. |

The BBC has a rather bad reputation for their re-use of tapes in the 70's, including their taping over and loss of a large part of a season of Doctor Who. A season? More like about 11 seasons! The series began in 1963, but now the earliest individual episode that survives on its original videotape is from 1970; the earliest complete story to survive on the original videotape is from 1972, and the earliest full season to survive intact on its original videotape is the twelfth, from 1975. In all there are 108 episodes from the first six seasons that no longer exist in any form in the BBC film and videotape archive, and a couple of hundred more that exist as copies of the original, be they film prints or NTSC conversions. |
