These actions do oftentimes irritate the television companies-stations... However, if you have any ideas of places to look-search, contacting Paul and the RT would be a good idea. As they are really in the best position to make these inquiries through official channels, and recieve a far more detailed response in regards. I don't want to criticise anyone searching for lost TV, but when it comes to TV stations and some official archives, an official approach is often the best. I'm in contact now with an archive which has been contacted very recently by researchers. They were told there was nothing. The list in front of me tells a different story. I'm not saying that there's anything missing on it, but it proves that official contact is often the best way. It's not a hard or fast rule though. Another station archive I contacted through governmental channels denied having anything. I've since found out they do have material although I don't know what yet. Also, the system of distributing material around the world was a well oiled if haphazard machine. Unpicking how it worked has been crucial to working out what may be out there... Paul

Hi Paul, can i ask a couple of questions? Do you know from your research where the Ugandan material was sent, if indeed it was. Also, what other shows were sold to the African countries that are missing? Im very intrigued to know. Hi Greg, I don't have any information about what Uganda did with its films. Regarding other series; you name it, they screened it. Mogul, Not Only But Also, Comedy Playhouse, Steptoe, Out of the Unknown etc... All the usual suspects and more. TOTP was a big seller to Sierra Leone. Paul
