His Lordship Entertains - Episode 1
Ronnie Barker's famous character Lord Rustless swapped channels from ITV for this short BBC sitcom set in a hotel.
Originally shown from colour videotape, those recordings were wiped. During ITV's Raiders Of The Lost Archives campaign in 2007 (which was run by Kaleidoscope) ITV were offered episode one of His Lordship Entertains from New Zealand. ITV declined because it was a BBC show but Kaleidoscope accepted and the print was shipped to the BBC and transferred.
Due to modern technology, Jonathan Coley and his amazing colour restoration processes created a new colour master to be screened at the BFI's annual Missing Believed Wiped event on 27th November 2021. With some further adjustments since, it is now available to own on DVD.
