[show]The original pilot was recorded on colour videotape as part of the Comedy Playhouse (UK) series and had a "BBC Colour" credit at the end. However the original videotape was lost or wiped, so for years the only known copy of the episode was a black-and-white film-recording. In 2008 however, technical engineers began restoring the edition to full colour by utilising the colour signal information recorded into the monochrome film print. The remastered copy was finally screened on BBC2 in 2010 during a New Year's Day celebration of the series, being seen in colour for the first time since 1972.
