Comedy Playhouse (series 12)

The twelfth series of Comedy Playhouse, the long-running BBC series, aired during 1972, with the last two episode being used as fillers due the Munich massacre.

Background

The twelfth series, which was in colour, consisted of seven episodes, each of which had a different cast and storyline. The pilot episode of Are You Being Served? was intended to be broadcast early in the year but the BBC chose not to broadcast it, and was not transmitted, until the Munich massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics necessitated that it was used as a filler.

gollark: What, the whole island?
gollark: When I downloaded it it extracted to a few gigabytes, not petabytes.
gollark: I have a copy of that without the "Trek Wars" at the bottom, wonder who added that.
gollark: In KSP I wanted to make a nuclear-powered aircraft for some reason, and thanks to it not carrying fuel it was very light, but I'm bad at designing planes so it couldn't turn well. So I added some RCS which ran off the atmosphere and some electricity (seems to be from a mod), and it turns out it can actually take off with that.
gollark: One sort-of-VPNish thing you can do is rent a VPS (virtual private server) with lots of available bandwidth somewhere else, host a private VPN server on there, and connect your stuff to that.This doesn't really anonymize you - all your traffic, and nobody else's, will go via that VPS's IP address - but it (effectively, possibly not legally) puts your internet traffic under the regime of wherever your VPS is instead of your actual location.
