Notes

Shown as part of Election 70 coverage. Eric Sykes and Spike Milligan reprised their roles from Speight's LWT comedy Curry & Chips.

Most of this programme survives in black and white, as well as the complete sound track.

This episode is also known as Up The Polls and Up The Polls! (The Campaign's Over). In fact, it was not even listed in Radio Times as a Till Death Us Do Part episode.

Scheduled at 20 minutes, the episode in fact runs for around 30.
