Arthur Haynes Show
The Arthur Haynes Show was a popular comedy sketch program (with musical interludes) that enjoyed a long run on ATV from 1957 until the sudden death of Haynes in 1966. There's very little solid information available in regards to episode details and many episodes were lost. As you can see above, there are two December 1962 episodes that feature a young Wendy Richard and Michael Caine. Writer Johnny Speight (Till Death Us Do Part, Curry & Chips, In Sickness & In Health, Nineteenth Hole) wrote many of the sketches.

The Capone Inve$tment + Undercover Heart
2 crime drama mini-series from nearly 25 years apart.
The Capone Inve$tment....1974 crime serial with a good cast featuring Glyn Owen, Peter Sallis, John Thaw and Isobel Black.
Not much information out there on this but both IMDB and Amazon have submitted reviews.
Looks like I'm not the only one that was amazed by the use of color-separation overlay (aka blue screen) in the car scenes. I don't find it any more offensive than the overuse of CGI these days.

Undercover Heart...a 1998 crime serial. Not much information. There's a review on the IMDB page.

Waterloo Road
I'm still looking for copies my Discs 1 - 8 and 11 - 15. I thought someone said they had them, but I only received Discs 9 & 10. Seems to be a popular program, but I'll probably drop it after next week's episode if I can't track them down as I don't want to go through all that work again.
Also still looking copies of shows such as Blessed, Freddie And Max, Then Churchill Said To Me which I thought I had located but it was an apparent miscommunication. Road To Avonlea is another. I know they're out there, but will drop it before going through all that again. Thanks.
