The event was hosted by Toby Hadoke, who excelled in the role. He ushered the panellists through a series of questions relating to Doctor Who, and the episodes screened during the joyous occasion.

Sue Malden, formerly the BBC’s first archive selector, now a trustee of Film is Fabulous, appeared. She made it clear that the team are not treasure hunters and have no special interest in Doctor Who. Their remit is to preserve film culture, and vulnerable private film collections.

Toby thanked the deceased collector, in whose collection the missing episodes were found, as well as Film is Fabulous, and noted to rapturous applause: ‘My little observation of this, as I was adjacent to things going on, is that one of the reasons that this was so damn successful was because the inner workings of the BBC, and the outer workings of fandom, had absolutely nothing to do with it.’

The other panellists comprised: Nicholas Briggs, the voice of the Daleks in modern Doctor Who, Tim Burrows, host of the Doctor Who Missing Episodes Podcast, Gavin Rymill, Doctor Who writer, researcher, 3D illustrator and YouTuber, and Paul Vanezis, an independent producer and director with a long association with Doctor Who.
