Rare footage of ITV Channel mascot Oscar Puffin will be played at the British Film Institute this month.

For more than 20 years the BFI’s Missing Believed Wiped has showcased rediscovered television material returned to the archives by Kaleidoscope, a TV archive based in Birmingham.

Kaleidoscope is marking its 30th anniversary with a 2 part summer special this month.

Unseen clips of TV favourites Morcambe and Wise, as well as lost episodes of classic children's television will be included in the celebration at the BFI on 11th August.
