Benny Hill Show
At Last The 1948 Show + Do Not Adjust Your Set

At Last featured Graham Chapman, Marty Feldman, John Cleese and Tim Brooke-Taylor from the "David Frost School of Cambridge Footlights Comedy". Eric Idle appeared in some episodes. 13 were made, 8 are lost.
Do Not Adjust Your Set featured 3 future Pyhtons in Eric Idle, Michale Palin and Terry Jones, plus David Jason and Denise Coffey (who performed the excellent Captain Fantasic sketches together). 27 episodes were produced and it looks like all but 11 were wiped.

Father, Dear Father
Series 6 and 7, the final 13 episodes, have yet to surface. At the end of its run a movie was made (common practice at that time). The program was revived 5 years later in Australia when "Father" goes to Australia to research a book and ends up caring for his brother's two teenage daughters while their father has a job assignment in London.
