Here's more original Australian daybill posters from my collection. Featured are more classic Steptoe & Son posters, On the Buses, and a movie poster one from of my favourite 1970s comedy films starring the late great Frankie Howerd in "House on Nightmare Park" (1973) written by Doctor Who screenwriter, novelist, and creator of the Daleks and sci-fi shows like Blake 7 & Survivors , the late Welshman Terry Nation.

I looked it up, and Last Of The Summer Wine is the world's longest running television SITCOM. Several series, such as Sesame Street and The Tonight Show in the USA and Coronation Street in the UK, have lasted longer. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/202 ... eries-ever

Thanks jim244. Nice aren't they. Got some screen-used BBC scripts from the hilarious comedy series , Gimme Gimme Gimme, that were the personal copies of the production manager. Also got his script from French & Saunders TV special, Titanic too.

Now thinking about it. I have an original mid 80s BBC comedy series Young Ones rehearsal script from the horror episode "Nasty" signed & dedicated. I genuinely think it was Rik Mayall's. The writing on it is exactly like his having compared like with like. It came in an BBC envelope, although a little tatty, since repaired, with a smaller envelope that contained six or seven Polaroid photos of the cast in makeup. I'll dig it out and upload it to the site asap with some Ain't Half Hot Mum Polaroids too. Watch this space.

Where you are correct to point out that those series , programs & shows mentioned have run for longer, Last Of The Summer Wine is regarded as the longest-running comedy programme in Britain, and the longest running situation comedy in the world having ran continuous from the 4th January 1973 to October 29th 2010, had 31 series, 295 episodes, with Peter Salis being the only cast member to have appeared in every episode. A record in its own right.
