Did he actually return it, or just admit to having found it..? Phil returned prints of various episodes in 2018 and 2019. They are listed in the TIEA 2018 thread. 'My Old Man's a Tory' was amongst them and it was indeed an original 16mm print. In addition, I have secured for the BBC Archive a second 16mm print of 'My Old Man's a Tory', a better print of 'The Likely Lads: Entente Cordiale', also the original prints of 'A Star is Born' and 'Faraway Places', plus an original BBC Enterprises print of 'Dad's Army: The Battle of Godfrey's Cottage' as an alternative to the current archival print which has some scratching. Paul That's fabulous! It would be great to see some of these - 'My Old Man's A Tory' looked really ropey a couple of nights ago and 'Godfrey's Cottage' still gets repeated from the 2001 recovered print which has part of the final scene missing (the part that resolves the plot!).
