Missing BBC sitcom episodes' audio recovered
Audio recordings of five missing BBC television sitcom episodes from the 1960s, written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, have been found.
British Comedy Guide, 2nd September 2024A Boulting brothers comedy based on Kingsley Amis's bestselling satirical novel. Little satire here, though: the casting of Ian Carmichael as the eponymous hero, with Terry-Thomas in attendance, points to a more broadly farcical intent. The angry young university lecturer Jim Dixon is invited to the house of pompous professor Hugh Griffith for the weekend, where he is acutely accident-prone.
