Richard Latto, BBC producer, is looking for these at the moment. He posted in a few places on social media but not here, so:
He's looking for anywhere decent copies of the studio tapes with the raw footage of these two episodes. (For a legitimate project.)
While some of us may have seen these as copies of copies of copies from VHS, the question is if the copies at the top of the chain are still somewhere to be found... If not the master tapes then first gen VHS?
Perhaps someone could even mention this on the mausoleum club that I no longer frequent.

There are various outtakes/raw footage (with timecode) clips of varying quality on You Tube, perhaps those persons accounts are aware of what the producer is looking for. It's also made me think of the clips of the cryptic 5th house mate that are going round on social media this week

It's also made me think of the clips of the cryptic 5th house mate that are going round on social media this week But they are all very low quality, "3rd generation VHS" or worse. Apparently the master tape was last seen when loaned to a "John Barron, for Ross" or so Latto told on faecesbook. It may not be a huge loss; I watched them once but it wasn't that impressive. No brilliant, unjustly deleted jokes or anything. I am glad though that he's taking the job seriously. |

Normally the only out-take shown is Ade Edmondson having trouble with the Molotov Cocktail, so it would be interesting to see what other material was left out.

That's a blooper from the Just For Fun wrap tape, and perhaps the only bit of exclusive material in that compilation. It exists in very reasonable quality. It was also used on one of those Auntie's Bloomers shows. |

Could be difficult as he (Barron) died in 2004 and it doesn't appear he has offspring in the industry who might have agents who could check with them (e.g. if he had a son called Ross).
