Just aired on BBC4:

The Secret Life of Bob Monkhouse
BBC4 - 3 January 2011

The extraordinary story of comedian Bob Monkhouse's life and career, told for the first time through the vast private archive of films, TV shows, letters and memorabilia that he left behind.

Bob was one of the first to have a home video recorder. He had recordings in his personal archive both in film, video and audio that have been lost or wiped by the TV Companies and BBC. These include hundreds of classic comedies long since gone. This amazing archive has only just been discovered, and it is hoped that many of these recordings will eventually be released into the public domain.
