Dr. Who Fans Go Psychic
Obsessed ... dotty fans hope a clairvoyant will help find missing episodes of sci-fi classic
Barmy fans of Doctor Who want to hire a psychic to track down missing episodes of the hit show.
More than 100 programs of the sci-fi classic are lost and now fans are turning to out of this world powers to locate them.
Fan Martin Brown said: "If people can use psychics to reunite family with deceased loved ones then it is quite conceivable we can use a psychic to track down these missing episodes.
"These shows are important to the heritage of Dr Who."
Members of the world's largest Doctor Who forum, Gallifrey One,
have banded together in their search.
One desperate fan, Supervoc posted on the forum: "I am on my knees in hope and desperation. I will be through the roof if even just one more story is found. We must live in hope!"
Another Ian7 said: "I am convinced there are countless missing episodes yet to be found. I know it is going to happen. I have complete and utter faith. I believe we should all have this faith. Think it. Feel it. Wish it. It is going to happen!"
The missing tapes of the cult classic date from 1964-1969 when William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton played the doc.
The episodes were wiped by the BBC in the mid-seventies along with dozens of other old television favourites.
But duplicates of the shows were distributed to TV stations overseas and Dr Who die-hards hope psychic powers will help locate them.
Fans believe their treasure may be discovered in the Middle East or Asia.
The last returned episode was recovered in England in 2004 by an ex-employee of the BBC.
Brown added: "A lot of fans are extremely passionate about finding these episodes, it is a nostalgia thing."
The fans want to get Derek Acorah from psychic TV show Most Haunted to use his powers to help in the search.
Acorah is rumoured to be making a guest appearance in an upcoming episode of the new series of Dr Who on the BBC in April.
