I have a couple of questions about this show. Firstly, there are said to be several extracts from certain episodes. Are these long extracts or short clips? How long are they? Also, according to Dick Fiddy's MBW book, Aunt Maud and The Phone exist but on your site these are featured red for missing. What is the actual situation for these two episodes?

Eight b/w episodes (three derived from videotape others film recording). A few one reel extracts and a few clips from a documentary (and from sony cv-2000).

Thanks for your reply. I do find it frustrating that there aren't any lists which explain the episodes existing and length of surviving clips from certain shows compared with something like Doctor Who which has many useful guides. Anyone know of any internet guides which have more detail or perhaps willing to post a list?

I'm guessing the half-inch recordings of the end of The Puppy and Aunt Maud exist because someone recorded the following programme? Does anyone know what it was?
Adam: I think Aunt Maud and The Phone were recovered fairly recently, from an odd type of 1" home recording format. I'm not sure if any other programmes were recovered at the same time.

I seem to recall reading that the clips were found at the end of some tapes - i.e. part of a complete recording where the majority had subsequently been taped over with something else. No idea what the "something else" was though.

Seven monochrome episodes: Arguments, Arguments; A House With Love in it; Peace and Goodwill; Alf's Dilemma; Till Closing Time Us Do Part; The Blood Donor and The Phone (plus extracts from Intolerance, Aunt Maud and the Puppy)... but what's the eighth? Even confirmation of Argument's return would be nice. Any idea where it came from? I'm a big fan of Till Death, for all it's faults, despite having never seen a sixties edition-I actually think the myth of those that have been lost overshadows how brilliant the first two colour series really are. We had a whole run of series 4 onwards here in New Zealand and I managed to tape most of them; some are really very good.
Thanks very much, William

Aunt Maud is COMPLETE.
Alf's Dilemma is missing 6 mins.

Hi
Our books try to list everything known about, even the stuff in private hands. Two of the CV2000 tapes mentioned had old Hancock shows on them and were held by either Ray Galton or Alan Simpson, and because the Hancocks were 25m there was the TDUDP stuff on the tape underneath it, so the last few mins survived.
Two other old home video format shows resurfaced in 2001 and the collector concerned, let us show one at our 2001 event. I know that Paul Vanezis did borrow these old tapes to make a BBC archive copy so I assume the BBC now have them, though they were not listed as part of the Treasure Hunt finds, but that means nothing because quite a bit of stuff was missed off.
The first ep was returned earlier this year I believe and some archival clips from Australia may have some TDUDP extracts on them, but the reel is still being catalogued.
Hope that helps.
