Noel previously commented in a Footage show that they have now got a relationship going with the Beeb for content, which started with Secret Army. It did say in the listings that Jackpot was a 'lost' film, so I should have expected the transfer not to be great (it was rough in parts, with it looking like some footage was missing with the jump cuts and the abrupt ending).
