Episode 50A sees us starting our Golden Anniversary celebrations with a '50 Episode' quiz provided by Ben.

Andy P stays with the golden theme as he takes at look at the 1983 BBC serial 'The Cleopatras' written by Philip Mackie and produced by Guy Slater.

Next we travel 'Up Pompeii' to hang out with Frankie Howerd as Lurcio, forever failing to finish the Prologue, then Martin looks at the 1970 'Softly, Softly : Task Force' story 'Open And Shut' by Allan Prior.

Finally Ben returns to remember the rubber world of 'Spitting Image' without even sticking a deck chair up his nose.

That's all in Episode 50A of 'Round The Archives' starring Lisa Parker, Andrew Trowbridge, Ben Baker, Andy Priestner and Martin Holmes.

Episode 50 will continue with Episode 50B which will be along in due course...
