Dear Heart would be classified as cutting edge comedy if it were put on today

Big thank you for your work in this. Before I moved to America I sold my old N1700 VCR and tapes. Biggest mistake I ever made. The tapes all had shows and news between 1979 and 1983. I digitized most of the shows but very little of the news and continuity. You have enabled me to patch a load of stuff together to make up entire evenings of broadcasts! By the way. Very professionally deinterlaced and upscaled. Rare to see this amount of care of video processing on youtube.

Thanks. Always glad to find more Points of VIew episodes.

Amazingly 'Dear Heart' got a second series.

I've always wondered how it is as I've only seen snippets on KZbin and I'm always curious to see more obscure sketch shows. Had no idea until now it had such a bad reputation.
