Just a guess, but given that this is anything but news, would I be right in thinking the author has missed an episode of The Daleks on BBC4 this week, gone to the iPlayer to watch it there only to find it missing so they went to You Tube to find it there... except they couldn't but did find another Evil story instead and not really being a Doctor Who fan as such, they assumed what they found was some kind of new thing, interpreting the BBC copyright notice as the actions of a scared fan who thinks Aunty will come and take it off?

Mad author, blind author, charity author!
This is ancient news. We've been doing this for years.

But have you seen the amazing colourised versions of some of the black and white Dr.Who clips fans with Photoshop have been doing? 

Now that's is dedication....

Surely, if the BBC voluntarily destroyed these episodes they can hardly claim that they are copyright. Rather analogous to someone who retrieves an item that someone else has deliberately thrown away not being guilty of theft.
I hope that was a bit of sarcasm, the colour to black and white news is about 15 years old too. I remember seeing it on Tomorrows World.
