I have more complete data at home (in a book on Monty Python), but I do know
the show was only 12 episodes total. I think the first 6 ran in 1970 or so
and then 6 more ran in 1974. I think it was fantastic show and I just wish
there had been more of them made. They usually get shown on late-night PBS.
They are also avaible one video now. There are three tapes that I've seen in
the store, but I'm not sure if they cover all of the episodes.
