For those who are interested - in response to several other 'missing' episode topics...

Other than the 57 episodes and two movies, here is a (believed to be) complete list of ALL Steptoe and Son appearances:


1963 - Royal Variety Show - Full sketch.  Unreleased but still in existence.  Audio released as a record single in 1963 and subsequently since.

1963 - It's A Square World - Short clip - Wilfrid appears as Albert Steptoe in a Dr. Who spoof - as the BBC building is being destroyed, he runs for his life shouting "Hercules!" - Unreleased but still in existence.

1963 - Christmas Night With The Stars - First ever christmas sketch - much of this script was re-vamped later.  Often wrongly classed as 1965 as the script was transcribed in the 1965 Chritmans radio times.  Believed to be wiped in all forms.

1964  A Night of 100 Stars - Full Sketch.  Harold and Albert are preparing for their night out.  Only time Harold Steptoe had a goatee beard - because Harry was filming "Armchair Theatre" at the same time...  Exists in audio,  video believed to be wiped.

1966 – The Ken Dodd Show – Full Sketch.  Often credited as “Steptoe and Son at the Beach” - Unreleased but still in existence – easy to find amongst collectors.

1967 – Christmas Night with The Stars – Full Sketch – two parts to this one, a 16mm film clip of them outside a pub which came before the full studio sketch.  The first clip was originally broadcast to the studio audience, resulting in a laughter track.  It was edited too.  It has not been re-shown in this format.   However, this sketch was later revived in the 1994 Christmas Night with The Stars special as part of a montage.  The 16mm clip exists without the soundtrack (the ‘voice’ sounds were actually overdubbed by the actors and does not match the footage exactly). The full sketch exists in AUDIO only.  Footage believed to be wiped.

1969 – A Party Political Broadcast for the Labour Party – Full sketch.  Only featuring Harold, this sketch involved MP Bob Mellish being grilled by Harold as to why all politicians are the same.  Mellish then successfully persuades Harold that they are not.  Unreleased but still exists – part of the BFI Archive.

1972 – The Generation Game. – Series 1 episode 18, often classed as the 1972 Christmas Special.  During a break from the games and fun, Bruce Forsyth goes off to promote the ‘Keep Britain Tidy’ campaign and bumps in to Albert and Harold Steptoe in the BBC corridors – they have come to watch his show but have gotten lost.  He leads them back to the studio...  Unreleased but still exists.

(1973 – Travel Agents Advert – Possibly a  myth – many collectors claim to have seen this (but of course never have it) – most likely referring to the travel agents scene in the 1973 christmas special.)

1977 – Ajax Adverts – two of these were made, winning ‘Best Advert’ awards in Britain and Australia.  Both run for 1 minute each.  Still in existence.

1979 – “Scotch on the Rocks” – Unofficial title – part of “Good Luck Scotland”, a radio show.  The ONLY radio only episode, not taken from a television counterpart.

1980 – Christmas Night with The Stars – Albert and Harold are travelling up the motorway on the horse and cart and argue all the way... Unreleased but still exists in the BFI archive.

1981 – Kenco commercial.  Perhaps the most famous of all the extras, this 30 second commercial was the last time they played the Steptoe characters, and the last time the actors ever saw each other.  Unreleased but still in existence...

Hope some of that info was useful / interesting...
