One thing you'll never find on DVD or any other format is Pete & Dud.
Other surprising goodies have shown up, like At Last The 1948 Show, but
Dudley Moore told me in an interview that the Beeb, in its infinite
idiocy, had erased all the "Not Only But Also" tapes. The salvaged
soundtrack excerpts issued on Decca/London LPs is all that exists, as
far as I know.
There is, however, a DVD of the "1964 gala farewell performance" of
"Beyond the Fringe" featuring Pete & Dud as well as Jonathan Miller and
Alan Bennett.
It seems unlikely that the Goons' "Down among the X Men" will ever make
it to DVD. On which topic, are there other shorts than the Muckinese
Battle Horn? I've a decent tape of that and want more!

Actually I picked up Down Among the Z Men (not X) on a $1 DVD two years
ago! That's a source that totally dried up..guess they got caught in
copyright problems.
Incidentally, it's terrible, unless you absolutely have to see what The
Goons were up to during their first two years.
