Hi, The Purity League is now available for download at - www.mediafire.com/?vkcmf2ezwohAs far as I can see this is the last one I have that was not in the public domain. Does this mean that all are now accounted for? Cheers, Marc. |

First, a big thanks to Marc for his recent uploads.
Thanks to Marc, I'm now only missing three episodes - The Excursion, The New Level Crossing, and The Film Makers. Could some kind person point me to where I might download one or more of these three (I can see from the above posts that at least one of them, The New Level Crossing, is available).
Thanks
Charlie

I second your big thanks to Marc! It has been wonderful that you've shared these episodes with us, thanks very much.
I do have a copy of The New Level Crossing but the condition of it is appaulling and it's missing part of it from memory. Is there a good clear version out there? I don't think I have come across the other two you mentioned Charlie. But the number of lost episodes has diminished greatly. A few years ago there were only five known to survive with the BBC.

It has been a joy to read about all these discoveries of a series once so poorly represented and I look forward to listening to them.
One thing that does confuse me is that it doesn't seem to say in the thread if these episodes have been returned to the BBC?
BBC7 has aired Parsley Sidings in the past and always has a home for rediscovered episodes.

When I was collecting episodes from collectors around the world a few years back, I offered them to the BBC on two occasions and never heard anything back. Ignorance or rudeness?
I did make copies for the UK Dad's Army Appreciation Society so other fans could hear them.

Dogstar,
Very many thanks for posting these for public access. However, some of them now show "This file is currently set to private. This error has been forwarded to MediaFire's development team."
Is this something you've done - or have your grateful readers broken Mediafire by frenzied downloading ? <g>
Regards
howstean

EPISODE GUIDE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SERIES 1 | 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A pilot show was broadcast on the 28.2.71 with two series following this over the next couple of years. In all, 21 episodes were made, all went out on Radio 2, and were scripted by Jim Eldridge and produced by Edward Taylor. With the standard practice of keeping a show as a representative of the series, only two have survived in the BBC archives. If you have any more than the two listed above, can you please contact me steve@britishcomedy.org.uk

Are all episodes now accounted for? i think maybe some one should try and contact the BBC again about these episodes, they have a real place in radio history and I'm sure would be of interest to lots of people.......they deserve a wider audience. congratulations the those people on this forum who took the time and effort to share the episodes they have. i had no idea of their existence until some one started the thread

Hello to you all, Firstly a big thank you to Charlieboy for uploading the episodes I required. I have downloaded them all and will listen to them very shortly. Thanks for your offer Don it is much appreciated, Cricket Lovely Cricket is once again available, let me know if you have any problems. The first post I made on this group concerned returning episodes to the BBC. Some years ago I too had a negative response when I offered these twelve to them. I now think it is better if people like us look after them, if the BBC had taken them would they be available to download or just archived and unavailable? Judging by the response and interest, and the request made by Don, here are the twelve episodes I recorded. I have no idea if these are better or worse than what is already out there. I must apologise for the credit cut offs, but as a teenager at school tape was an expensive item, and you certainly didn’t waste it with bits that weren’t necessary! All are available at - 1_01 The Market Special - www.mediafire.com/?rgs2uwzboue1_02 The Postal Express - www.mediafire.com/?exzkjezebak1_03 The Beauty Queen Contest - www.mediafire.com/?0mzjmlqwmib1_04 The Inspector Calls - www.mediafire.com/?uwbi0mivzmh1_05 The 1890 Rocket - www.mediafire.com/?xytzsx1hnml1_06 The Excursion - www.mediafire.com/?zm3zym24mm91_07 Cricket Lovely Cricket - www.mediafire.com/?thtznjdmx2d1_08 Who’ll Be Mother - www.mediafire.com/?jdz1bezw9pk1_09 The Concert - www.mediafire.com/?mnmgm1bz02x1_10 Goodbye Parsley Sidings - www.mediafire.com/?3wacbszwtwl2_06 A Bird In The Hand - www.mediafire.com/?gezgdvtzf0h2_07 The Purity League - www.mediafire.com/?vkcmf2ezwohIf any better copies are discovered I hope they will be offered for download by the finders, we are so nearly there. Cheers, Marc. |
