Can anyone confirm that the situation re the 06/03/1965 sketcg, Pete and Dud on the Bus remains the same - i.e. mute film only?

Good question. Am I correct in remembering that the whole episode (06/03/1965) existed mute?
If so, given the recent audio recoveries, does some or all of this episode now effectively exist with audio?

Well a lady has gotten in touch with me to say she has the audio for 'On the Bus', so it would seem likely! Stuart |

Hi Stuart and Peter, Just to clarify: no, "Pete and Dud on the Bus" does not exist in vision, mute or otherwise (though I am thrilled to learn that the audio might). The only visual material extant for Episode 1.5 (the edition in question) are a few soundless film sequences, totalling around ten minutes. These include "Canvassing Dracula", a parody of cigarette advertising and the opening titles involving the words "Not Only... But Also" appearing on the back of a London bus... a piece of footage which led into the VT sketch "Pete and Dud on the Bus", hence the confusion. Since I frequently see these kind of questions and misunderstandings about NOBA's archive status popping up on these boards, can I please direct anyone interested to the episode/archive breakdown I contributed to the wiki page on the series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Only..._But_Also#EpisodesI believe it to be the most accurate and comprehensive guide available online. |

Hopefully Stuart's lead turns out to be good.

Thanks for the reply William.
I saw episode 1 show 6 (20/3/65, Peter Sellers) once and the audio was very bad, which perhaps explains why none of it has been repeated or released to date. But maybe it was just a bad copy that I saw. Could anyone confirm the state of the existing audio on this one? And that no other copy of the audio has now surfaced?
