Kids these days don't even know that if you missed a live TV broadcast back in the day, you had the right to challenge the BBC Director General to Trial by Combat. If you won, the BBC was legally obligated to air the episode again at 6:45pm the following Saturday. If they won, you were dead.

It's no coincidence that Hugh Greene retired from the job in 1969 and after that no more episodes of Doctor Who went missing. They only ever aired once because nobody could defeat him.
