Before Monty Python's Flying Circus and The Goodies there was At Last the 1948 Show, the ground-breaking comedy sketch series starring John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Marty Feldman, and Aimi MacDonald. The first two episodes of series two are unfortunately lost, reconstructed here using clips from Swedish TV compilations, ABC Australia reels and fan-made audio recordings. However there arer still some classic sketches included, such as John Cleese's ‘Joke Shop’ routine. Episode three has a happier history, having been rediscovered and remastered from a copy held by a personal collector. Notable skits include the ‘Deaf Aids’ sketch, which was later performed in German for the Monty Python team’s German TV special.
