Doctor Who is the longest-running science fiction TV series in history, airing initially from 1963 to 1989. Doctor Who is about ideas. It pioneered sophisticated mixed-level storytelling. Its format was the key to its longevity: the Doctor, a mysterious traveller in space and time, travels in his ship, the TARDIS. The TARDIS can take him and his companions anywhere in time and space. Inevitably he finds evil at work wherever he goes. (TVMZ)

I dont know who you refering to, I found the links on archive.org and posted what I could find. This is all there is. No idea why more dont exists, because they are not that difficult to find at all. They even available on TUBITV, or at least they had it before. If in the future I can find more this post will get updated. Or if anyone else contributing and find something post it in the comment section and I'll update my post. Thank you.

The thing is for a long time TV stuff used to be produced, aired and then it was gone.

Some things also were saved, onto the video rolls of the time, which at some point randomly begins to deteriorate into Vinegar and other stuff, the vinegar stinks and breaks apart the remaining parts of the roll.

Also some poeple saved the episodes on their VHS at home, however the next week it would just overwritten again with new content.

So basically it is a wonder that there even are that many episodes and it was a giant community effort mostly to gather those we have.

Or maybe I'm just speaking out of my ass, but this is the internet, how would you know?

No I appreceate your comments, was just not sure if you understood what I said. This community is for stuff found on archive.org and shared here by anyone who wants. I personally dont upload it, so what I found I posted - maybe it will be useful to someone even if incomplete. I'm sure places like YouTube or TubiTV has all complete seasons. I've seen that TubiTV has all episodes even the missing once, dont know how they collected it all but they did.
