I wonder how many people got the joke in the original V for Vendetta graphic novel where the title character refers to fascist pomp as "at last, the 1998 show!"
Totally unrelated comment - just phoned Minx, the woman there said that she was going to chase up the manufacturers, and try to get back to me in the next couple of days - she still has my note on her desk, and she had been thinking that it was odd that she hadn't heard from the manufacturers yet.
At Last, The 1948 Show (or at least the 5 episodes they excavated) is out on DVD, along with its telling of the Four Yorkshiremen: Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graham Chapman, John Cleese and Marty Feldman.
