Nice list. Apparently you found At last the 1948 show, Do not adjust your set,
and How to irritate people, as well as Graham's College Tours and Yellowbeard.


There is a very good reason why you haven't found the items you want: most do
not exist anymore or have never been available at all.

*The Frost Report was wiped, though there are some records of it. A few
things survive but in doubtful quality.

*Out of the trees was wiped, a short remaining fragment is on the Hitch
Hiker's Guide (1982 BBC series!) DVD. The script used to be online but SOMEONE
felt it was unfair that people read a script without paying and had it removed
so now no-one can read it.

*Jake's Journey was just this one pilot episode. As far as I know it is
on a shelf at CBS. SOMEONE was just too lazy to include it on the DVD as an
extra with Graham's college tours. I tracked down an article about it that you
can find here:

It's a typical problem of things unavailable. You can go to CBS and ask for the
tape of Jake's Journey or go to the British Film Institute and ask for their
telerecordings of but that is hardly a practical solution.
