Four episodes of the classic television comedy Steptoe And Son, which the BBC had thought lost for more than 20 years, turned up in the cellar of Ray Galton, one of the show's writers in 1993.

The reel-to-reel tapes were found by a BBC researcher and transferred to newer technology and transmitted on BBC 2 as part of the BBC's new year season.
