Having studied the tv film at the BFI when it first arrived there, I thought it was doing some quite interesting things with the small screen as well as offering a valuable record of performance to supplement what we know about the production from prompt books. I've written about it in Alison Findlay, "Much Ado About Nothing: a guide to the text and the play in performance" which has just been published (Houndmills: Palgrave Macmillan, 2011)
@clementweather: I wish I had the whole thing too. Some plays were missing among others this one too. But the BBC found them recently. Maybe we are lucky and they will release it on DVD.
