Archival status

Most of the series has been lost. Of the eighty episodes produced, only five episodes survive as recordings, while five others survive incomplete.[2]

In March 2022, "Sunday's Child", a missing episode from the fifth series, turned up on an eBay auction and sold for £310. It is unknown who the successful bidder was, or if the episode is being negotiated for return to the archives.[3]
