That’s great news that such significant material is still out there. Really excited for what else might turn up.

The recovery of Dad's Army: The Battle for Godfrey's Cottage is interesting as the existing copy has part of the final scene missing. Also Steptoe: My Old Man's A Tory as currently only a poor-quality optical transfer exists (and has been shown lately on That's TV).

Great to hear, I wonder what else is currently held by other university archives. Some material had turned up in American universities like the 1965 production of Nineteen Eighty Four.

Also Steptoe: My Old Man's A Tory as currently only a poor-quality optical transfer exists (and has been shown lately on That's TV). Actually, I think you're incorrect on both counts. We think that the current version of The Battle of Godfrey's Cottage in the BBC Archive is unedited and that the cut that is there at the end was there on broadcast. Obviously when the new print is scanned, it can be compared with the earlier print. Regarding 'My Old Man's a Tory', a 16mm film recording of that episode was returned to the BBC in 2018 by Philip Morris of TIEA. It's not a perfect print. This new print is an alternative to that.

Paul - is it possible to say where these prints are from? Are they from overseas, for instance? Or is it too early to say at this stage?

Film is Fabulous has just announced on X and Facebook the recovery of another Basil Brush episode. A third one from Season 4, which prior to all this had no episodes recovered. Quite amazing to now have three. This one is episode 10.

Hi all, More recoveries from Film is Fabulous. filmisfabulous.org.uk/southern-tv-episode-recovered/Once thought as a completely lost series, five episodes of Southern TV's 'The Full Man' are now known to exist thanks to the discovery of the fifth episode, 'The Dramatist and Human Affairs' from February 1964. Included with this discovery are two other editions of The Full Man, War Poetry and Landscape and Background. The three films are all 16mm prints with optical sound. These last two already known to exist are the source of the copies that the BFI have in their archive, along with two other editions, Tragedy and Structure and Meaning. We believe these to be the only surviving prints. Paul

With 400 of the 620 films of the Beddows Collection having been catalogued, who knows what other treasures will be unveiled. Maybe well find a missing episode of the Avengers, Z-Cars, Top of the Pops, Morecambe and Wise, Dad’s Army or even Doctor Who. Well see.

Paul The newly-discovered episode "was recovered from the private collection of late Tim Beddows, the founder & former Managing Director of Network Distributing". "Presented by David Daiches, programme incorporates scenes from plays, such as Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Terence Rattigan’s Adventure Story, to demonstrate nature of drama and tragedy. The various scenes feature George Baker, Rosalie Crutchley, Frances Rowe, and Ian Woodruff." "The missing episode was discovered with a selection of other Southern Television programmes. These are either superior in quality to those copies currently held by the major archives." twitter.com/filmisfabulous
