10 Doctor Who Fans Who Made A Lasting Impact On The Show
8. Philip Morris
This self-styled Indiana Jones of old television came to fandom's attention back in 2013 when he returned the lost Troughton stories The Enemy of the World and (most of) The Web of Fear to the archives. It was an invaluable addition to the canon, as many fans discovered how good the former actually was. After long believing it to be a dry slog, based on the off-air audio, fans were treated to a thrilling James Bond style adventure with helicopter chases, underground lairs and a memorable megalomaniac villain.
Some fans were disappointed by The Web of Fear. They complained that it didn't match up to the atmospheric chills of the surviving episode 1 that they'd been playing on a loop for the past twenty years. The real disappointment of Web's rediscovery, however, is that Morris apparently lost the third episode - the first to feature Lethbridge-Stewart - when arranging the transfer.
Morris' rediscoveries were a bonus treat of the 50th anniversary year and, in one fell swoop, returned nine episodes of Doctor Who to us. He enigmatically promised that more missing episodes were out there, but nothing has surfaced in the intervening eight years. Given Morris' own questionable opinions on the current era, it's unlikely that anything will.
