Hi all,
On my visit to the BBC Archive yesterday, as well as delivering the recent TOTP super 8 recordings, I repatriated a couple of film recording masters.
The BBC already had a telecine transfer of 'The Very Merry Widow and How', the episode 'How About It?' from May 23rd 1969. It's the only example and turned up in 1996. The film was acquired by a member of the Doctor Who Restoration Team which is where the BBC's transfer came from. Also part of that same collection is 'Wildcat', the 4th episode of the first series of Mogul. This has been screened, from the film print at 'Missing Believed Wiped' some years ago, but never scanned or copied to another format. The film was then returned to the collector. Although listed as 'in the archives' by some search engines, it never really was. Thankfully it is now in the BBC Archive for the first time along with the 1969 sitcom.
