An incomplete episode which was reconstructed using the Swedish TVcompilations, and with the Frensham audio tapes and Rediffusion scripts utilised for the two sketches for which no moving image material was then available. Since the reconstruction was first done, a fragment of the Joke Shop sketch was recovered from the ABC Australia reels and it has been embedded in this presentation, giving a very good idea of what the full sketch was like, including John’s striking costume and manic demeanour. A change from the first series is that Aimi is now the only hostess and she is given much greater scope to develop her comic talents, including the running gag about the Make the Lovely Aimi Macdonald a Rich Lady Fund.
