Our Man at St Marks

[Ian Thorsen]

Does any one what exists of this series intialy starring Leslie Phillips. I understand this redifussion series was completely missing but the pilot is on You Tube. Has this been discovered or is this a missing programme listed her.

[Jan Charles]

Sadly from what I have heard, you have to assume that 99% of Rediffusion programmes are considered missing , what is left is perhaps one or two examples of each series if your lucky.

[Robert Manners]

I have seen the pilot of this series only 6 months ago from film, it was very good for an early 1960's comedy.

I have seen this Pilot as well, a great bit of comedy. Also, Lostshows.com database lists "The Facts Of Life (missing)"?

For those who have not seen this material, here is the complete episode from the youtube links:

Here is another Associated Rediffusion show from 1959, would like to see the rest of, as looks great from the bit uploaded on Youtube, from a police series called "Crime Sheet":

So i wonder if the Donald Sinden series are still in the archives prob not then?

We list what officially exists, and the bits off You Tube do not exist in an official archive as far as I am aware.

So someone out there has some Redifussion stuff that is not officially in existence. Anyone know who has them?

The uploader's comment on the Crime Street video suggests he owns the prints and he claims he's at least borrowed that one to the BFI... So probably best just to contact him.

[cperry]

I've asked the BFI so we shall see :-)

[cperry]

The Superintendent Hedges His bets was returned a few years back apparently, but no one told us :-)

I've checked this out now, BFI do hold Facts of Life, the first ep, but they dont hold the untx pilot also called Facts of Life and that's what shows up as missing on lostshows.com

Crime Sheet was returned some years back but no one at that point was collating information about returns to systematically catalogue what was found.
