An excerpt from a long lost interview with actor William Hartnell has been recovered by the BBC.
In August 1965 Hartnell, who was at the height of his fame as The Doctor, was interviewed by Roy Plomley on the Home Service radio programme Desert Island Discs.
The programme was thought to be lost, erased by the BBC, but now a 16 minute section has been recovered and will be made available on the BBC iPlayer. The recording was available to listen to for a short time earlier today but was removed until an official announcement is made.
