    The basic premise here is that people with these lost episodes ‘stole’ them from bins after they were thrown out by the BBC, so don’t want to admit this to the BBC, as they are worried that the rather large corporation that the BBC is, will take them to court and win.

      Ex-BBC archives staff. They have had an amnesty in place for decades. They will let you keep the recording if you wish, they just want to make a copy. Any serious collector would know this. The article is quite dreadful, Franklin the main interviewee has criticized it apparently.

        Any source to this? Sounds reasonable but then one reads only about BBC being evil…

        After all, for a “Broadcasting Corporation” it should be easy to leave some pointers somewhere…
