My grandparents videotaped hundreds of episodes of the old Doctor Who shows. My parents watched both old and new Doctor Who. I even got into it for a few years.
Well the odds are astronomically small, but if by any chance they happened to have a tape of one of the many missing episodes then you could probably make a quick buck (and a spot of eternal gratitute) by returning them to the BBC.
In any case, I'll make the same recommendation I made elsewhere in this thread - the Big Finish audio dramas are quite exceptional in that they have much more frequent hits than misses, and are (almost) completely free from any kind of political drum-banging. Plus they are outside of the kid-friendly rating of the BBC (and overseas censors) so they can be darker and heavier in subject matter.
