Trivia
It was thought that most if not all the original black and white episodes were lost after the stories were remade in the 1970s in colour. With no further demand for the black and white films once the colour ones were made the episodes were deemed of no further value and lost in the mists of time. However in 2010, 41 years after they were last shown on TV, a stash of 24 16mm film cans was found in a shed containing many of the original episodes. These have now been preserved.
