Lost Dr who episodes found

[Mikey]

Something i've always wondered ...

Who owns the actual films that's been found ?

I know the BBC has right to the content but what about the actual film ?

Theoretically could a person charge the BBC millions of dollars to buy it back ? ... If the BBC does not pay can the person sell it to someone else ? or even trash it ?

Remember, all those years ago the BBC literally threw it in the garbage can.

Yes. Mostly. They can sell them, burn them, or string them up like holiday tinsel if they own the actual film.... but they can't show them publicly.

Imagine our first encounter with an alien civilisation.
We go to their home world, where everyone has a a complete collection of Dr. Who episodes, picked up from transmissions that went out into space: "Weesa think it's our favorite show from your planet Earth!"

Nah. I've heard aliens will sound more like Ricky Ricardo. The females will more than likely sound like Lucy.

Oy, that thought is going to give me nightmares!

Aliens sounding like Ricky and Lucy.
