IMDB seems to show 18 episodes with Duffy?
Correct. I goofed.

IMDB credits Harold Scott as playing Duffy in 19 episodes. www.imdb.com/name/nm0779211/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t39On a quick skim through, it looks like TVBrain lists them all as missing. But TVBrain isn't always right, and is sometimes out of date.

... an episode of Johnny Speights 'Them' ... Is this the only surviving Duffy episode? What is Them? I've never heard of it. And the IMDB description is weird.

I'd like to see the episodes of This Week, but probably never will.
Some of them are on Youtube
THIS WEEK: Common Market – Case Against (17.06.1971) And companion episode, Case For, which isn't on the above list for some reason.
THIS WEEK: Common Market – Great Debate (28.10.1971)
(5-minute clip)
Harold Wilson interview, 1974. Not on the above list.

Okay, but TV brain lists 32 & 37 as missing, and doesn't list 31 or 36 as missing. Is it wrong? The second one claims to be missing episode 28, which is listed as missing on TVbrain. I said 26 in error. Is it mislabeled? And here's one that claims to be ep41, which again is listed as missing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxZWem8xP2A

And the other four? Did you already spot them?

I didn't know any of Peggy Mount's appearances were missing from the archives
Well, of course there are. ANY prolific performer active before the mid 70s will have a number of missing episodes.
A little research into Peggy Mount's career shows that starred in a series called Winning Widows 1961-62. At least 10 out of 13 episodes are missing.
A few other appearances on chat shows, variety shows, TV plays, etc. are missing.

How much interest (if any) is there in poorish quality audio recordings of missing TV?
Quite a lot. It's good to have anything surviving from a ME. An audio is a good find.
And on something like Jackanory the audio is the most important part. I'd rather have audio without pictures, than pictures without audio.

I would love to know the reason why the collectors Paul and Philip have negotiated with are choosing not to allow the BBC to make a copy. Some people just like having something unique.
"Thousands of people own Rolls-Royce cars. Hundreds of people own a Rembrandt. But only I can watch Power of the Daleks part 1. Chew on that, Elon Musk. I got something you'll never have. Who's the rich guy?"

Art treasures have been stolen for ages, most go into private collections and are never seen again.
Cite? That happens in movies and City of Death, but real life? Other than the Nazis, who did it openly.
From what I understand, many of them are ransomed back to their original owner. In other cases, the thieves realize they can't sell the item, and destroy it.

Hmm. TVBrain has it as: ... 12.07.1970 Murder in Munich – 1 (missing) ... With the episode as just plain missing; no mention of audio issues.
Newsflash - TVBrain is less than 100% accurate.
See Wiki for details.
In May 2016, the series began to appear in German-speaking countries, released by German DVD company Fernsehjuwelen (the name means 'TV jewels'). These DVD releases cover all the episodes of seasons 2 and 3 and most episodes from season 4, across three different boxsets. Many episodes from seasons 2–4 that are lost from the BBC's own archive still survive in German archives, and many of these episodes are made commercially available for the first time on these DVD boxsets, albeit with dubbed German audio only.
And here is the German version on youtube

It isn't quite missing. A full colour version dubbed into German exists, but the English soundtrack is lost.
This is a B/W print, but with presumably the original soundtrack. I suppose it would be possible to take the soundtrack and the colour pictures to recreate the original, right?
I spotted it a few days ago. I PM'd several senior members of this forum. I don't know if they took any action, or if the even saw my message.
The seller says it's from his friend's collection. I wonder what other treasures his friend might have.

Obviously it can be colourised, but it shouldn't be. It was shot in B/W, intended to be seen in B/W on TVs that only showed B/W images. The director, set designer, costumer designer, all put effort into creating images that would look good in B/W. Probably they didn't put as much effort into it as Orson Welles did for Citizen Kane, but still, it should be seen in B/W.
