Out Of The Trees

Out Of The Trees (pilot, 1975)

Legendarily "only semi-brilliant" sketch show pilot 

written by Graham Chapman and Douglas Adams, 

and also Bernard McKenna but no-one cares about him.*

Broadcast once opposite 

Match of the Day and then 

thought lost for all eternity 

when the master tapes were wiped. 

Luckily it was only lost for some of Eternity - 

Graham Chapman had an off-air recording 

which was restored in 2006.
