Laurel and Hardy fan Paul Aungiers wrote to the BBC to ask them if they might consider releasing the famous Laurel and Hardy documentary - OMNIBUS IN HOLLYWOOD - 'CUCKOO' onto DVD.
If you don't recall this documentary, you can watch the preview video posted with this message.
Cuckoo was narrated by Morecambe and Wise and featured so many people genuinely qualified to talk about Laurel and Hardy. Jerry Lewis, Dick Van Dyke, Babe London, Marcel Marceau, Lucille Hardy (Ollie's wife), Bob Monkhouse, Hal Roach, Marvin T Hatley, Jack McCabe and many more. It was last broadcast in April 1976. It was by far the best and most enjoyable programme ever produced about the boys and the full documentary is over an hour long..
The BBC replied they they would only consider a release if there was substantial public demand, therefore, in an effort to persuade the BBC, we have made this petition on facebook, youtube and on the Laurel and Hardy Forum.
We will send the petition off once we reach 1000 names.
