ATV produced 313 editions of Inigo Pipkin and Pipkins between 1973 and 1981. Unfortunately, only a handful of programmes officially survive in the ATV collection, which is now controlled by Polygram Television.

However, after extensive research among private collectors and programme contributors I have been able to compile a list of 77 surviving programmes, the details of which follow in the table below. Amongst other detail, the VTR number, transmission date and format on which the recording is made are given.

List correct to 2 March 1998. This will be reviewed shortly
