1960s TV favourite At Last the 1948 Show triggered a revolution destined to change the face of TV comedy forever as John Cleese, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Aimi MacDonald, Marty Feldman and Graham Chapman burst onto the nation’s small screens in an explosion of unrelated and often surreal sketches. It paved the way for both Month Python and The Goodies.

With a new - as complete as it’s likely to ever be - three DVD/BluRay set released recently by the BFI we thought a re-evaluation and a glimpse at the newly discovered footage with series star and Slapstick patron Tim Brooke-Taylor was long overdue.
