Four episodes of the classic comedy series Steptoe and Son were, for over 20 years, assumed lost. Then a researcher discovered the tapes at the home of one of the writers, Ray Galton, who with Alan Simpson created the characters of the father and son rag-and-bone men for a one-off Comedy Playhouse in 1962. Developed into a series which attracted audiences of 20 million, the Steptoes' adventures continued until 1974, with Wilfrid Brambell as father Albert, and Harry H Corbett as his long-suffering son Harold.

In this story, first shown in 1970, Harold plans a ski-ing holiday.
