Channel 4 showed clips alongside interviews with Neil McCaul (Adolf) and Gareth Marks (Arnie) in their documentary "Hitler: The Comedy Years".
The credits on the episodes state that the show was recorded at Bray Studios.

I suppose the problem would be, how many people subscribed via Squarial or Cable to BSB twenty years ago, how many of those thought to record the output and how many of them would have kept the material for two decades? I expect quite a few people taped BSB items on VHS (and a few, conceivably, on S-VHS or U-Matic) but may not have kept them afterwards as they probably didn't think that junking of TV material by the archives was something that still went on in the '90s and beyond (I certainly didn't or I would have taped more and to a higher format)! It's a shame that the proposed C4 compilation run of "I Love Keith Allen" never happened in the end as it may have ensured the survival of additional copies of some of this material. It's a very interesting series; an unusual format of sketches / song parodies - some of which are very funny - plus straight interviews. At least the majority (all?) of the series survives in some form anyway. I wonder if C4 kept their broadcast copies of "The Happening"? Just a thought. About the only thing which seems to have survived in broadcast form from BSB seems to be the space soap Jupiter Moon.

Thank God that Jupiter Moon (one of my favourite shows) proved so popular in various other countries whilst on its original run here otherwise there would be another show we would be scrabbling about searching for!

Bray... Pinewood.. I knew it was a film studio where we more or less made it as an OB but couldn't remember where...
It may have been "Hitler: The Comedy Years" I lent my tape to and never got back...

It would not surprise me if it was Hitler The Comedy Years. That was a dreadful programme full of mistakes so I can imagine them not being respectful to other people's material. It was the only time I recorded something and ended up labelling the disc NOT VERY GOOD after the title.
I suppose it would be an obvious idea to contact cast and crew of BSB programmes first so it must have been already done? I would have thought that Keith Allen would have kept tapes of his TV appearances.

I think in the wording of the original Kaleidoscope finds list (see other thread) I specify that some cast and crew members have been approached, but as an addendum to that there are rather a lot of people still to contact. Needless to say, this is an ongoing project.
Paul - could you drop me a line? If you sent off an email to Kaleidoscope, I'm afraid it never arrived.

Welcome to the site and for posting the interview. I was cautious about using the link because of your username (which is looks like an anagram of an invitation to do something rude for Christmas,especially with the invitation to "take a peek"! Holidays sometimes bring a few dubious posts...

Note that the first part of this thread is a few years old. Makes one wonder if he couldn't find a place for them somewhere. Some obscure tv station, or a (legal) youtube channel. There's 9 episodes in total, and picture quality's still good, well, at least the one I saw was. By the way, I'm going to save the moderators some xmas time, and suggest that you change your username to your real name. They'd like that (it's required here).

Lostshows should never be taken for the final word, there's just too much information to handle. (Although in all honesty whenever I suggest an update it's either ignored or half read or misread.)

that's a shame, it sort of puts people off trying to update the missing lists
