The BBC is re-shooting episodes of post-war sitcoms of which no recordings survive, as they are missing from its archives.

The special episodes are being recreated by a new cast using the original scripts in front of a studio audience.

The Lost Sitcoms series will air later in the year to mark 60 years since Hancock's Half Hour first appeared on BBC TV.
