DESCRIPTION:
1973 BBC Mikado Act 1.

I discovered this Mikado on a video cassette at a car boot sale recently (along with an Iolanthe, and some production photographs from both shows). I have payed a friend (who works in video editing) to clean it up and copy it to a DVD for me because I believe it is more than worthy.

This is Act 1. The copy I have is of much higher quality but I have had to compress and convert it to a smaller file size for uploading here. My skills are limited so I apologise.

I hope you enjoy it and I will start on Act 2 when I have some time.
