Missing Presumed Bum Trailer

12/24/2017
The comedy that no one wanted to hear has been found! This is especially confusing as it was never lost. In 1973 a comedy script materialised on the desk of a radio station of a minor Soviet satellite state. The script was performed, untranslated from the original English, in 1974 and immediately became an overnight sensation. A copy of this recording was duly sent to the BBC so that all master tapes could be responsibly wiped, as was international government policy at the time. Luckily an off air recording of the LP version was made by holding a modified SONY Walkman against a glass held against the wall of the house of the then Director General of the BBC, from which this archive recording has been restored. This recording has nothing to do with the BBC. The script turns out to have come from 2017 for the failed studio recording of the final episode of the long running podcast comedy show - Live from the Get In! - and episode three has long been one the collectors have shunned and ignored ever since. The restoring restoration team hope to have a completely restored restoration of the restored episode in the New Year, but have released this trail to annoy fans now.

Wartime Memories - Recollections of WW1

11/11/2017
First Hand Recollections of the Great War by William Coleman In the early 1980's, William Henry Coleman, a veteran of the First World War, was persuaded to talk about his experiences. What he didn't realise was that he was secretly being recorded. This is a special documentary featuring a restoration of that footage, with a specially recorded interview with his grandson, Alan Scott. NB: Due to the archive nature of the recording and the context of its creation, the audio quality is extremely variable - if the stories told do not always yield to a first listen, hang in there, it's worth it. The voices you will hear are: William Coleman on the archive recording, Alan Scott in present day interview and the producer Robert Crighton as host and in the background.
