Breaking Point (1966)

[Ally Wilson]

This starred William Russell and Richard Hurndall. Lostshows.com has this as completely missing.

It looks like the Australian National Archives hold some clips from episode 3 of this show.

I hope that this is a real discovery, it would be a good little Christmas present.

Very genuine find, but can we get to it? I'll ask around. National Archives only tend to deal with other national archives, BFI is our best bet. Dick?

Excellent, I really think this is worth pursuing. Doctor Who censor clips were successfully returned from the same source in 1996 by Damien Shanahan, and more recently ABC researcher John Williams has returned clips from The Goodies and Broaden Your Mind. So it must be possible - maybe contact these people who obviously already have an "in"?

Has anyone managed to determine whether this is the entirely missing British "Breaking Point" or the extant American "Breaking Point"?
