Have no clue what it's from, but that restoration job is superb and the approach - only to replace what was unsalvageable - is the way to go and highly commendable. Anyone got a picture from the original show for comparison?

Am I really getting that old?

I think No Munor Man is not American; correct?

Correct. I'm Danish to the core. :thumbsup

But I take it that it's from a tv-show?

Yes, an American Christmas special from the 60's, which is near and dear to our hearts

Sweet. So... any pictures from that show to compare with, to show how well they did that restoration job?

well done indeed. Great to see these important pieces being cared for.

I agree.

here's the IMDB site: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058536/
but suprisingly I can't find any better pics online (and I really don't want to dig through the christams boxes in the attic to find the dvd)

Nah. It's been run every year for about 43 years, so there's plenty of young and old both who've seen the show.

...in the U.S., that is.

Sweet... well, I can definitely see now that they've done a very fine job of getting the look of the originals preserved. :thumbsup
