Censor clip

Censor clips were a common practice in numerous countries to physically remove some clips from the tape which were deemed offensive. This was common practice in Australia and New Zealand while they were broadcasting new Doctor Who serials.

For each episode, the section that was considered inappropriate for viewers was physically cut from the 16mm film print and spliced back together to hide the cut. In 1996, Damian Shanahan and Ellen Parry discovered a wide collection of censor clips from Doctor Who in Australia.

These are important in the context of Doctor Who archive history because some of those moments were the only surviving clips original to their respective episodes, which had long gone missing as a result of the BBC's archival policies.
