Synopsis:
"At Last the 1948 Show" debuted in 1967: the silly, cerebral team effort of future Pythons John Cleese and Graham Chapman, Goodie-to-be Tim Brooke-Taylor and the marvellously fizzogged Marty Feldman. With laconic links by The Lovely Aimi MacDonald and set-pieces including the debut of the landmark 'Four Yorkshiremen' sketch, this pioneering comedy series is ready to be enjoyed by a new generation of fans (or by old ones all over again). For this three-disc set the BFI has gathered every full episode known to exist and reconstructed missing ones to create the most complete collection ever assembled.
It includes all 10 surviving shows, plus two near-complete reconstructions and a partially complete episode with full-length audio, all presented with an array of archive gems and newly filmed extras.
