I wonder if even the BBC has a copy of this, being as it was just a regional program at the time.

The way I've numbered the series is so that 01x01 is the first episode televised nationally. The 1977 BBC Midlands-only series would be 00x01, 00x02 etc.

As for the BBC having a copy of 01x01 (1978), I'm not entirely sure. Their archival policy came into being sometime in 1978, so it's quite probable that by July 1978 when this episode of TG was transmitted they had stopped wiping stuff.

Except for Crossroads!

Why they ever tried to bring that back is beyond me...
