The episodes of "At Last the 1948 Show" and "Do Not Adjust Your Set" previously released on DVD are to be available for purchase and download on the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com) beginning March 12, 2008.

Tim Brooke-Taylor starred in "At Last the 1948 Show" along with John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Marty Feldman, and Aimi Macdonald (Bill Oddie also turns up in one sketch). While Tim wasn't a regular on "Do Not Adjust Your Set", he was a guest star in one of the episodes released on DVD.

According to the press release (at http://www.prxreleases.com/wire/index.php/2008/03/12/at-last-the-1948-show-and-do-not-adjust-your-set-now-available-on-itunes/), all five episodes of "At Last the 1948 Show" are available for $9.95 while all nine episodes of "Do Not Adjust Your Set" are available for $12.99. Individual shows will cost $1.99 if bought separately.

Note that the DVDs include an interview with Tim as a bonus feature; I don't know yet if that will be available on iTunes. Details about the DVD releases can be found at http://www.thegoodies.info/videos_goodies_related.html
