I imagine those of you on 'the isles' have perhaps already seen some of this along the way; I wish BBC America would run some of this as it would give others a more comprehensive insight into British TV humor besides the regular staple of Python, "Towers" and the rest.
This story again drives home how fragile TV history is in terms of how much vanishes; similar things have been posted about early US programs.
