Hey all,
I have a question about the series The Army Game (1957-1961)
I have been looking into the lost episodes for this show, but I cannot find a definitive episode listing and there appears to be much confusion over what episodes are lost. For instance, on wikipedia the series is divided into four series of 155 episodes, however on IMDb, it has the series divided into five series numbering 157 episodes.
So some discrepancy there.
Now onto the missing episodes. On Amazon the DVD release of the surviving episodes lists 50 episodes, and one reviewer has kindly listed the episodes on each disk.
Ok, great. But it lists one episode (Officer Material - aired; 09 January 1959) as present, whereas TVBrain has this as missing.
There have also been uploads on YouTube of an episode some uploaders have referred to as The New Officer (S01E13, 04th Dec 1957). Now this date has a different episode, Episode 13 - The Chit for 04 December 1957, listed as missing. I can't seem to find any episode listed as "The New Officer" anywhere else apart from IMDb, and as great as it is, it isn't always accurate.
So can anyone help me out who might know how many episodes there were originally, 155 or 157? and which episodes have survived and which are missing.
P.s I have reason to believe the difference in overall numbering (155-157) is because of two audio recordings that were recorded as part of a 1963 Christmas Pantomime special starring Alfie Bass as his Bootsie character. One is called Bootserella and the other Bootsie & The Beast. But I might be wrong.
