Sorry to be that guy but if the tapes were never preserved it’s probably because nobody cared…

Tangentism,

The BBC stupidly recycled the tapes because they didn’t give much credence at the time to how important their archive would become.

This was a common practice, especially during a certain decade but I forget which. Old tapes were erased to be used again. No thought was given to preserving what was being wiped.

It was a cost-cutting measure to save money on tapes by reusing the old ones.

SkyeStarfall,

I highly doubt it would have cost much to preserve a few of the original tapes.

Yeah that’s kinda my point

keryxa,

You got that right.

520,

People absolutely do care. These lost media include the origins of shows that are still relevant today. But backups weren't exactly treated with much care until relatively recently.

jollyrogue, to memes in ayy lmao

Dude! Why are you posting my pics? Not cool.

lukstru,

wtf? I created that meme myself.

jollyrogue,

My friend took that photo of me, and I was using it on my dating profile. Now you’re putting memes on it!

(I know. I thought it was funnier than saying “I feel seen.”)

lukstru,

Ooh, I’m sorry Mr AlienHuman, it seems I did a whoosh. I think your friend also sent me the picture, might wanna check with them. Too be fair, your face is very memeable.
