"The series had been sitting in the ITV vaults though mis-catalogued for decades, but through the identification programme we were able to make this remarkable find.

Makes you wonder what else is lurking down there awaiting discovery.

The surviving material, alongside newly-filmed linking material from Palin and Jones, were released on Blu-ray and DVD in 2014

Ouch, but it bodes well for a home video release, perhaps even for this Christmas. That'd be my uncle's present sorted, as I imagine he's not going to be paying for ITV X Premium (which is new to me).

I just read about this this morning, exciting find.

I am also surprised to find out that ITV has a premium streaming platform when most of their best shows make it to britbox anyway...

EDIT It looks as though it is on Britbox so if you have that you'll be able to watch it without another subscription!
