The BBC has lost or destroyed a lot. Early Doctor Who is mostly gone.
That being said, Hollywood has its own share of lost films.

I hate when things get lost like this. I mentioned a TV movie in yesterday’s post about the song Melt With You… it was called The Day After…do you remember it? It frightened the shit out of me…about nuclear war…in the eighties.

JoBeth Williams, Jason Robards…directed by Nicholas Meyer. I don’t remember Modern English’s song I Melt With You being in that TV movie, tho…
It was a startling movie.

The Brits have trouble keeping their s*** together. They nearly destroyed early Doctor Who.
