Several of the show's sketches were later revived by the Monty Python team for their two German TV specials and their stage shows.
The show was made shortly before the introduction of colour on ITV. There were two short series totalling 13 twenty-five minute episodes. Some time later Paradine Productions decided to wipe the series because black and white programming was beginning to be considered obsolete. In the event, about half the series was destroyed. Much of the missing material still exists in the form of audio recordings from the series or from the LP version, and the surviving video footage has reportedly been restored by the British Film Institute[?]. It is nice to know that at least part of this important series has survived, but it would be even nicer if someone would release the surviving material on home video and audio.
Another important pre-Python show that fared no better was Do Not Adjust Your Set.
