At Last The 1948 Show - A Look At Science

A short sketch/clip/monologue from the popular 1960's sketch show "At Last The 1948 Show" which starred a pre-Python Graham Chapman & John Cleese, along with Marty Feldman, Tim Brooke-Taylor & "The Lovely" Ami MacDonald ;)
In this sketch John Cleese plays a meek (slightly-unhinged?) scientist who wants to tell us about his "friends"...Germs!
This sketch is from series 2 of the show & from a "lost" episode that IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE DVD! OR available commercially anywhere as far as I know. So it's abit rare I think :)
Enjoy! It's adorable! ;)

John Cleese is my all time favourite for acting a maniac.

Thanks for uploading this lost classic.

Is this on the DVD's? I don't remember it. Is it more surviving material than the DVDs?

BTW, this sketch seems like a typical Graeme Garden sketch, like "Dr Findish" in "Broaden your mind".
