Doctor who Missing episodes

Dr. Who is a tricky beast, and the internet is mostly useless when it comes to the recovery of these episodes (only one was recovered through the internet when a 16mm film collector listed it on his website). The BBC has wiped so they have no recording, they have in employ archivists like Phillip Morris that go out physically into Africa searching for film (one went missing after being found), the foreign TV stations that bought the TV programs have been approached by the BBC in hope of recovery and those that were still in their possession, and weren't junked, were returned to the archives. Every piece of paper were scutinized and followed up on by various die hard fan, some of the resources on that website illustrate this (http://missingepisodes.blogspot.com/). The official paper trail has been exhausted, many of the recoveries prior to that was by mega fans like Ian Levine during the '80s and early '90s that sometimes bought new stock film in order to save the older episodes. Here is where it gets tricky, the only sources that are still left unchecked are abandoned TV stations in Africa (remnants of Colonial Africa), private 16mm collectors (some of them have them, they are not willing to return it, not interested, and have offers from other collectors exceeding 10,000 dollars in some instances), pirated reels (the BBC engineers would sometimes be paid by private persons to make a dupe of a reel), South Africans were known to exploit this practice as TV was not introduced until 1975), early home archivists (the earliest home recordings date back into the 50s, making use of 8mm film recorders, the first proper home recordings date back to the mid-60s, but was expensive to say the least and time consuming. Home recording became more accesible and inexpensive during the mid-70s, some of the lost episodes were repeated in Australia, sometimes into the late '70s. Once again offers on the table from fellow collectors, in the same region as 16mm's, but they're not willing sellers.). A BBC archivist even admits that they are aware of some collectors that have lost episodes, www.techly.com.au/2018/06/27/bbc-expert-lost-dr-who-episodes/, the problem is if the BBC is pressuring them and they are hindered by fellow fans, it does not mean they'll return it, one of the owners of the returned episodes, at one stage considered destroying it, because the BBC were hindering him, fellow fans were pestering him, missingepisodes.blogspot.com/p/timeline.html.
