SIR YELLOW - YORKSHIRE TV - 3 AUGUST 1973 - EPISODE - LOVE ALL. CLIP

SIR YELLOW IS REGARDED AS THE WORST SIT COM IN BRITISH TV HISTORY.

PAUL FOX WHO ARRIVED AT YORKSHIRE TV AS DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMMES WHEN SIR YELLOW WAS IN THE ITV NETWORK ON FRIDAYS AT 8PM.

HE WANTED TO SEE ALL REMAINING 5 EPISODES THAT WERE SCHEDULED TO BE SHOWN ON A NETWORK BASIS - AND HE DECIDED THAT THE SERIES WAS DREADFUL AND PULLED THE SHOW.

AND IN ITS PLACE IN YORKSHIRE THEY REPEATED - THE FIRST SERIES OF MR. DIGBY DARLING - WITH PETER JONES AND SHEILA HANCOCK. OTHER REGIONS WILL HAVE MADE CHANGES ON A REGIONAL PROGRAMME BASIS - SOME SHIFTING THE SERIES TO THE GRAVEYARD SLOT - AFTER MIDNIGHT.

AS FAR AS I KNOW SIR YELLOW WAS NEVER SHOWN ON A NETWORK BASIS OTHER THAN EPISODE 1 - WITH NO VHS - NO DVD - NO BLU RAY.

I WILL POST ON THE COMMUNITY PAGE A PRINT OUT OF THE PRESS RELEASE REGARDING THE SERIES WHICH SHOWS THE PREMIER OF THE SERIES IN THE VARIOUS ITV REGIONS. AFTER THE SERIES WAS PULLED I DO NOT KNOW HOW ALL THE REGIONS WILL HAVE (IF THEY DID) TRANSMITTED THE REMAINING EPISODES.

THIS IS THE ONLY CLIP I EVER HAD - I HOPE IT CAN REMAIN ON YOUTUBE AS I PERSONALLY THINK IF YOU REGARD THIS SERIES AS A VEHICLE FOR THE GREAT JIMMY EDWARDS IT SORT OF WORKS BUT IN 1973 IT WAS NOT REGARDED AS PRIME TIME MATERIAL ON A NETWORK BASIS.
