The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Treasure Hunt initiative of the early noughties focussed its efforts on missing radio and TV shows first broadcast prior to 1980.
It was an invitation to collectors, fans and even former Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ staff who might have possessed domestic recordings of missing comedies and dramas. Among other gems, a missing episode of The Likely Lads was returned. An eclectic collection of radio curios made it's way home – some of them shared in this programme.
Producer: Martin Dempsey
Made for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 7 and first broadcast in May 2004.
