The Morecambe and Wise Show

Surviving Footage (1x0)

Fecha de emisión: Jul 10, 1968

The first series was penned by the duo's previous writing partnership of Sid Green and Dick Hills who also appeared in the show, sometimes in flat scenes, embryonic of what was to follow in later seasons. As part of the BBC's policy to wipe and re-use videotape in this era, most of the programme content was lost but a remaining fragment exists and was released on DVD together with the complete second series in 2007. Originally recorded in colour, only black-and-white footage remains which is taken from episode six and features Edmund Hockridge and the shadow puppets sketch, unseen for nearly forty years. The audio versions of the entire first series still survive as they were recorded by a fan.
