Title
Lost in Time
When Doctor Who first started the show was a huge success and the BBC made their money by, among other things, licensing the show to other stations around the world. Once the show aired there was no other foreseeable way for them to make money with it, so they discarded it. The video tape used to record the show was reused to record new shows. Then home video became a thing and the BBC went "Oh crap." Since then they have been trying desperately to get back all the episodes that are still missing, 97 in all at the time of this recording.
"Lost in Time" is the second song from my Doctor Who concept album I Am The Doctor. I dedicated my Patrick Troughton song to this topic because he was the Doctor most affected by this policy, which sucks because he was awesome as The Doctor. And in fact for a long time there were no complete stories available anywhere that featured the companion Victoria. The bit about me meeting Deborah Watling at a con is true. (There are now two available.)
26 Doctor Who stories are either missing or incomplete. All of them are mentioned by name in the lyrics of this song.

Did not realize the song contained all the missing or incomplete titles. Should have realized that in the first sentence. Makes the track and the CD even more amazing.

That was very cool how you were able to work the serial titles into the song so well! And I liked Victoria, she was cool. I really hope they find the serial where they first meet her, I've only read the summary on Wikipedia. That one and Fury From The Deep, which I watched the reconstruction of.

Apparently the BBC also erased all the comments from this page about how awesome this song is...
