Like an Indiana Jones of British comedy, Paul Jackson has discovered a precious piece of sitcom history...

Paul Jackson is the producer who brought us comedy classics like The Two Ronnies, The Young Ones and Red Dwarf.

While working on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 4 show Britain In A Box, Paul "had a rare treat when we managed to obtain a copy of the original, never-broadcast pilot of Men Behaving Badly.

This pilot starred Martin Clunes, Caroline Quentin, Leslie Ash and Harry Enfield and was so good it let to... a second pilot. Then all it took was two series, a switch of channel and a generous helping of Neil Morrissey to create one of the most iconic sitcoms ever made.

To read more about the show's incredible journey from novel (yes, novel) to national treasure, read Paul Jackon's blog.

Listen to Paul Jackon's Men Behaving Badly episode of Britain In A Box.
