Broaden Your Mind was subtitled 'an encyclopedia of the air' and consisted largely of short sketches. Sadly, all of the programmes were wiped by the BBC after their first broadcast in 1968, and only a handful of brief filmed sequences survive. These were included, digitally restored, on Network DVD's 2003 release, The Goodies At Last. All of the programmes, however, survive as off-air audio recordings made by a fan at the time of original transmission.
