Humphrey Burton presents the first in a run of ten "best of" episodes, where each edition repackages previously-shown material, and only his linking introductions are new. This opener includes a Charlie Squires film on the occult.
Humphrey Burton presents another screening of two popular features from the programme's past. The first is a profile of tramp Peter Blundel, the second is a Harold Pinter play starring Donald Pleasence.
Two light-hearted Aquarius features are showcased for another screening: Eric Idle and John Cleese's football parody, and a profile of the Mander and Mitchenson Theatre Archive.
Humphrey Burton reshows "Thoroughly Modern Melly", a film about George Melly that was made during the ITV colour strike. Burton notes that since the film originally aired, Melly's friend, Belgian surrealist E. L. T. Mesens, has died.
Another repeated highlight, though this time with a difference: a film on John Allin had previously aired during the ITV colour strike and was shown in black and white. As this edition proves, the film itself was actually made in colour.
The run of repeats comes to an end, with Humphrey Burton presenting a feature on jousting, with mock commentary from Eric Idle. Also featured is a short extract from Aquarius' visit to Paris, with a sequence on experimental music.
