I think the Comedy channel only showed acquired content rather than anything made for BSB though.

Yes, sorry, realised what you meant after reading it - BSB Original Content was indeed largely dead and buried.

An interesting legacy of the BSB rights is that some of the first run movie rights were assigned specifically to 'The Movie Channel', which meant that brand lived on until the mid 90s even though it was increasingly out of step with the naming of the rest of the Sky Movies empire.

Well, you know what I mean, they won't let it be released or repeated officially, someone had to sneak copies out of the ITV archive

Rather a lot of supposition there on your part. Who would release such a thing? Aside from the taste issue it is remembered by such a tiny number of people.
