Peter and Jane, Jon Bentley and 'The Lost Episodes'

Last summer, when the programme makers of BBC4's 'The Ladybird Book Story' came to film, I showed the director Jon Bentley's 'Peter and Jane' inspired art: 'The Lost Episodes'.  She liked them as much as I do and took the artist's details, with a view to including an interview with him in the documentary.

I heard later that they team had spent an afternoon filming Jon.

But when the (wonderful) documentary came out - of Jon Bentley there was nothing.
Another 'lost episode'? 
But I found out what happened in this video.

Bear with the start of it; it will get to the 'Ladybird' point after a minute or two:


The fascinating Jon Bentley introduces 'The Lost Episodes' - pieces which I like very much indeed; I would love to see the originals one day.

If you'd like to see online versions, you'll find them here.

Me too. Let us all know if you ever find they are on display, or even better, published.
