Why it matters
The special is one of the clearest contemporary sources for the first production. It records the programme while cast, crew and locations were working together, making it more valuable than later recollection for questions about sets, costumes, props and filming method.
Archive work still to complete

- Record every interviewee and their credited role.
- Separate demonstrated production facts from promotional narration.
- Cross-link locations, costumes, props and episode material discussed.

How to watch legally
