I only have the newer episodes. I've never found a good link to the 80s Doctor Who nor ever seen them.
If I remember right: I found them mostly on The Internet Archive, but a ton come up on usenet too.
I'll take a look tonight
The BBC has been blocked from releasing the first Doctor Who story by the son of writer Anthony Coburn following a vicious dispute over the broadcast rights.
...
The omission comes due to the intervention of Coburn's son, Stef Anthony Coburn, who claimed on Twitter that the broadcaster's offer to re-license the four episodes did not meet his demands.
He stated the BBC offered "pittance" to the re-license, and despite a counter-offer, it seems they have not reached an agreement. Coburn further broke down the issues regarding the rights below, setting the blame on BBC.
Coburn's current dispute with the BBC is the latest conflict over his father's Doctor Who contributions. The writer's son previously challenged the corporation over claims that his father named the TARDIS, leading to threats of a legal dispute over the trademark in 2013 that never came to fruition. Outside his claims, Coburn has also voiced his displeasure over reports surrounding Doctor Who season 14's production, making several bigoted remarks over the casting of Ncuti Gatwa and Jinkx Monsoon on Twitter while promoting far-right conspiracies.
He sounds pleasant...
Coburn needs some serious mental intervention. Last i saw he was tweeting that if the bbc had him assassinated he'd leave the rights to the episode to Vladimir Putin
