Jackanory

[ruddiger]

does anyone know where I would be able to get some of the Jackanory episodes? Was watching the BBC four documentary and was reminded of how good it was. In particular I'm looking for the episode of Haroun and the Sea of stories by Salman Rushdie.

Some episodes are available on DVD

but the one you want isn't among them. It is always possible the original tapes have been wiped.

BBC4 are showing an episode with Kenneth Williams reading, as part of their Kenneth Williams night on Monday 13th March.

Because there were over 7000 episodes of the series there were only about 4 commercially released, available at bigger stockists. Not the one you were looking for though..

The programme is to return to your screens around September though!!
