[quote]Lost episodes look FAR funnier than Python does now - somebody at the BBC reschedule them immediately - at Prime Time on BBC One.[/quote]

Brilliant programmes (love the original Four Yorkshiremen sketch written by Feldman & Brooke Taylor and always laugh at the Ferret Song) - but they were made for ITV (25 minutes long to fit in a 30 minute slot with adverts), so I can't see the BBC screening them. and ITV doesn't seem to have much interest in its Black & White archive material.  There was an excellent DVD set released a few years back, though it doesn't include all of the surviving episodes.[/quote]

I thought there was only about 4 surviving episodes, ITV do let Network release their forgotten programmes for good prices, BBC old comedies don't even let them see the light of day unless it's Steptoe which is released with poor picture quality no attempt to re-master there, Hancock has a nice release, numerous box sets of OFAH with the same edits.[/quote]

It's naively a lot more funny than people give it credit for and performed very, very well, even if it does have "questionable material" to our tastes, but hey millions watched it back then.I've seen the whole series after hiring them off love film recently.hilarious and has become one of my favourite sitcoms.

The last 'complete Steptoe' release was awful, particularly the colour episodes. One of the Christmas ones, in fact the very last episode, was the butchered beyond belief print, missing some very funny lines whilst the other Christmas one is missing the line "Enoch's dreaming of a white Christmas" which might be viewed offensive now but was actually incredibly satirical back then - and funny. I have the complete box set 'Enoch's dreaming of a white Christmas' is on the DVD. BBC have ruined a lot of DVD's so that they all programmes are now PC. Ahh, that's interesting, it's certainly missing on the previous DVD release. You can pick up a second hand copy of the box cheap on Amazon and sometimes you buy it less on ebay. Maybe worth ditching your old Steptoe DVD's and buy the box set Steve.

So, after she died, I had all the BETA tapes copied onto DVDs digitally. I have a 30 year old Beta machine still working at the moment, although the interesting stuff is all transcribed off. I did have a missing Tomorrow's World, although that was actually found around the same time I had copied to DVD. Beta's were superb machines.
