Do people here actually think this is true? I’m not so sure myself. There may be the odd episode but I’m quite doubtful that there’s masses of episodes just being sat on by collectors.
The person in the article doesn’t really seem to have any evidence for his claim
@TheDoctorDonna @HipPriest There are *definitely* old episodes of British television being hoarded. I’ve never encountered anyone with Who episodes, but other things? Absolutely.
There are significant gaps that could be filled with what I’ve been told of, but it isn’t things most people would be desperately looking for.
Old soap operas and comedy shows aren’t going to get the same attention, so nobody really talks about what is out there. Mostly in poor quality to boot…
Sorry, I should have specified that I think they are more unknown than hoarded. I personally don’t think that as many are being hoarded as we are lead to believe.
