Ailing 'Doctor Who' superfan spends fortune to recreate 97 lost episodes to see 'complete' series before he dies
Briefly

Ian Levine, a 71-year-old music producer and lifelong 'Doctor Who' fan, has dedicated immense resources to recreate 97 lost episodes of the series using AI technology. Facing serious health challenges including nasal cancer, Levine sold his royalties and spent £100,000 to resume watching the series he loves. Despite the financial risk and numerous scams he faced during his quest, he was driven by the desire to experience the missing episodes before he dies. Currently, he shares the remakes only with a select group of friends due to copyright issues.
"I've come very close to death four times... I thought, 'I don't want to die not having seen them,' so I made it my mission to see them before I die."
"For every good one I found, I found 20 scammers... I got ripped off by 19 different people. It cost me about at least £10,000 in rip-offs."
