Dad's Army missing episodes : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dad's Army missing episodes
The British television sitcom ''Dad's Army'' ran for nine series between 1968 and 1977. Three episodes from series two and two of the four Christmas sketches (1968 and 1970) are missing from BBC archives. ==Background== Until 1978, when the BBC Film and Videotape Library was created (a permanent archive for all its programmes), the BBC had no central archive and videotapes and film recordings stored in the BBC's various libraries were often either wiped in order to record newer programmes without increasing costs, or destroyed to create new storage space.〔 The BBC Film Library kept only some programmes that were made on film whilst the Engineering Department handled videotape but had no mandate to retain material. Some shows were kept by BBC Enterprises, but they had limited storage space and only kept material that was considered commercially exploitable. In the mid-1970s, BBC Enterprises disposed of much older material where the rights to sell the programmes had expired and the Engineering Department routinely wiped videotapes that were no longer formally required. ''Dad's Army'' was made in black-and-white for its first two series, with most episodes made on two-inch quad videotape for initial broadcast. As a series thought to have commercial potential overseas, the first series was offered for sale to foreign broadcasters by BBC Enterprises. To this end, 16mm film copies were made of the first six episodes by the BBC Engineering department before the master videotapes were wiped meaning that these were retained by the Film Unit. In the event, the first series sold very poorly and so BBC Enterprises did not express interest in selling series two abroad, resulting in very few film copies of series two episodes being made. ''Dad's Army'' was made in colour from the third series onwards and with overseas interest in the series picking up, BBC Enterprises resumed offering the episodes for sale in film and video format and this ultimately aided in their permanent retention.
