Surviving Episodes
Many of Milligan's shows were wiped, or trashed, so some of his shows no longer exist.
The Q5 series is incomplete. All of Q6 exists, as does Q7, Q8, Q9 and There's A Lot of It About.
Q5 episodes 2 and 3 both exist as 16mm black and white tele-recordings. (Episode 3 is mislabeled as episode 5 on copies circulating -- see Lost Shows). One episode of Q5 exists in colour in its original form, though it is unsure which episode number it is. A few short clips from this colour episode appeared on the documentary Heroes of Comedy: Spike Milligan.

Famous quotes containing the words surviving and/or episodes:
“For my own part, I commonly attend more to nature than to man, but any affecting human event may blind our eyes to natural objects. I was so absorbed in him as to be surprised whenever I detected the routine of the natural world surviving still, or met persons going about their affairs indifferent.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
