It was feared the BBC programmes from the 1960s featuring the first two doctors William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton had vanished for all time after the Beeb flogged off a load of old footage.
But after months of detective work the tapes have been unearthed at the Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency.
A television insider said: It is a triumph and fans everywhere will be thrilled."

(2,829 posts)"HELLO POP (1933) has for over seven decades been the only Three Stooges short that was lost. In December 2012, The Vitaphone Project received an email from Australia. The question was simple: Was HELLO POP a lost film? The Project confirmed it was, which led the other shoe to drop. The sender had a Technicolor 35mm nitrate print! This triggered a series of communications to verify the true existence of the print, confirm that the collector was willing to share it, and then to make arrangements to get it to the United States for restoration. The collector is in his mid-eighties, and has acquired 35mm film most of his life. He was extremely cooperative, and simply wanted to ensure HELLO POP went to the right place."
