Doctor Who isn’t the only show that finds lost episodes. Earlier this month, Wpix, channel 11 in New York City, announced that they they had unearthed the long-lost Magic Garden Christmas Special, which will be broadcast today for the first time in 32 years.
The master tapes for the episode were found in a storage vault that had literally been forgotten about for over twelve years. The building alerted the station to its existence, and upon inspection, found a treasure trove of archived footage in a variety of formats. In addition to the Magic Garden special, they’ve uncovered decades-old news reports, and a pristine master copy of the locally-legendary Yule Log broadcast from the eighties. The station gives a peek into the vault in a piece prepared for their news broadcast. They continue to pore through the huge collection of footage, and sharing results of its findings on the twitter feed @WPIXArchives.
