The Long Chase (1972)
No tapes existed so they couldn't be wiped by BBC

I was six years old when this was aired. I was captivated by it and it was my "look forward to" moment of the week. Unfortunately, being six I didnt have any control over my parents life schedule and they failed to get me home on time to see the last episode. I've been waiting 48 years to see it!
The great news is that this was never video taped! YES! It means the BBC couldn't have wiped it in order to re-use what was then expensive video tape.
Due to some of the night time / dark moments of the series it was all filmed on 16mm film. So somewhere - it's sitting there waiting for a new audience.
Come on BBC - you have enough platforms now to put this out again, whether on line or on TV.
