Pamela Nash Pamela Nash was an employee of BBC Enterprises in at least the early 1970s . She was responsible for maintaining Enterprise ' s library of 16mm telerecordings of " Doctor Who " and other programmes . These film prints were sold to overseas broadcasters . In the initial phase of her employment — at least as it is relevant to the history of " Doctor Who " — she greatly expanded the number of film positives and negatives of the videotape masters of " Doctor Who " episodes . For a short time , this action ensured that every episode of " Doctor Who " existed in BBC Enterprises ' vault , even though the separate BBC archives had already wiped all the videotape masters themselves . However , in 1972 she began a purge of her own . She ordered the indiscriminate destruction of the library she had created . It is from this second purging that " Doctor Who " failed to recover . The purge was neither systematic nor complete . How she and her team chose which episodes to trash and which to keep remains a mystery to fans , because many of the ones which survived were not of great significance to the history of the programme , while others that were destroyed had obvious historical importance — such as the final episode of " The Tenth Planet " and the first episode of " The Power of the Daleks " . Nevertheless , her team ' s record keeping was probably of signal importance in tracking down some episodes recovered from overseas broadcasters .
