At Last the 1948 Show (Series 2 episode 3)

Notable sketches include the return of Sydney Lotterby and the ‘Deaf Aids’ sketch, in this cherished and once-lost episode.

The first success of the BFI’s Missing Believed Wiped campaign was this virtually complete show, donated by a collector from Reading who had been unaware it was missing from the archives. Notable sketches include the return of Sydney Lotterby and the ‘Deaf Aids’ sketch, which was later performed in German for the Monty Python team’s German TV special Monty Python’s Fliegende Zirkus. The visuals end abruptly so the episode was completed in sound only.
