the flower pot men.[1952]

[Stephen Doran]

4 episodes were released on vhs in 1989,wondered how many xcist in the archives?

[KennyG]

Infax (open.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/infax) shows 30 shows -- 2 from 1952, 13 from 1953 and 15 from 1954.

Presumably because of the period in which they were made, they probably do exist if they show up on Infax but I think we'll need Andrew Martin to confirm that.

I think I've posted this before, but that was possibly on another forum!
