Topic: Possible lead on #182 Series 9, Episode 15?

This has long been one of our missing episodes.  To cut a long story short,

I believe this episode is help by BBC Radio International, catalogue number CN2371001.

The version that they have runs 25 minutes.

BBC Radio International, for those who don't know, is what became of Transcription Services, and is the BBC's international syndication office.

Turns out, they have a searchable on-line catalogue covering some of the programming packages that they sell into Syndication.  It's located here:

http://www.bbcradioint.com/search.aspx

Searching their Spoken Word section for Just a Minute brings up quite a number of episode packages for sale into syndication.  Most of them look like this:


I found the following to be of interest:


Assuming their numbering is somewhat close to that on Dean's site, this would cover part of series 6 and 7.  According to Dean's site, episode 132 is a Christmas show; too close numerically to be a coincidence, to my mind.

Especially given this entry:


According to Dean's site, episode 79 is a Christmas show.

So, that brings me to the all important catalogue number CN2371001.


The episode that we're missing is, according to Dean's site, episode 182.  There's no other Christmas show listed in Series 9, and the air date for #182 was December 23rd, 1970.  Assuming that our numbering and theirs were out of sync by one in the earlier seasons, and are somehow out of sync by a further episode in season 9 (or perhaps the BBC just consider a different order to the shows), I would say that it's highly probable that this is our missing episode.

Soooo...  which of you owns a radio station and would be willing to purchase that particular syndication package?  ;)

Just checked my files - ABC played this sequence (but excluding #182) in October 2005. On 26th December 2005, when they might reasonably have been expected to play the omitted #182, they repeated #079 ... :(

At least we know it (probably) exists inside the BBC Radio International archive...

James - TS were prone to (1) issue LP sets by reference to UK broadcast series, but (2) not retain the UK broadcast order within an issue set. Based on ABC's internal JAM playlist for 2012 (where there internal numbering was 10 behind our #-numbers), I would guess that

JUST A MINUTE (027-053) represents our #037-#063 (ie. Series 4)

JUST A MINUTE (054-079) represents our #064-#089 (ie. Series 5)

JUST A MINUTE (106-131) represents our #116-#141 (ie. Series 7)

JUST A MINUTE (158-184) represents our #168-#194 (ie. Series 9)

and that the constant discrepany of 10 represents 10 episodes that were never issued by TS. I would also guess that 9 of those 10 are the 9 episodes we are missing from Series 1 and Series 3 and that the 10th is #005 (a previously "missing" episode which we got from R4X last October).

However, as I said, TS numbering did not follow strict UK broadcast order with a series/set - so your assumption that the missing #182 is part of the Series 9 set is quite possibly correct. But if so, why have ABC not broadcast it in recent years?

If you check the rest of their inventory, they're offering:

JUST A MINUTE (001-026)

Presumably this package contains 26 of the 27 surviving episodes from Series 1, 2 and 3?

As Charles suggests, it's likely to exclude "Brownies" which was probably recovered from another source.
