Pic:

I haven't found any pics nor clips on the Web. The pic above from ep 1, I printed in 2006 or 2007. On a backup I must have the original pic, not sure if this was b&w or color.

Other books:

There's a book series including audio media by publisher Klett "Bridges - Englisch für die Erwachsenenbildung". But I think this has nothing to do with this series

Updates: Some minor corrections. Aired 1978 (test airing in 1977) . Based on a real group in 1966 Bristol.
