===Series 1 (1968)===
The first series was produced by Rediffusion, thirteen episodes were broadcast from 26 December 1967 to 28 March 1968, on Thursdays at 17:25. Three episodes from this series are currently missing from the archives, nine episodes survive as telerecordings and a further edition ''(Episode 4)'' survives on a domestic tape recording. Several cast changes occurred over the course of this series, [[Tim Brooke-Taylor]] filled in for Michael Palin for the studio recording for Episode 9, as the latter was having his [[Appendix (anatomy)|appendix]] removed.<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 17, 2019 |title=Do Not Adjust Your Set – BFI DVD Review |url=https://archivetvmusings.blog/2019/09/17/do-not-adjust-your-set-bfi-dvd-review/ |website=Archive TV Musings}}</ref> The following edition, [[Neil Innes]] was absent from the taping since he had the flu, so Eric Idle filled in for him when performing the vocals/ piano parts for the Bonzo's musical number ''<nowiki/>'Love is a Cylindrical Piano'<nowiki/>''.    {{Episode table |background=#FFA500 |overall=5 |series=5 |title=46 |aux2=22 |aux2T=Archival Status |airdate=22 |episodes=

===Specials (1968)===
A summer special was broadcast on 29 July 1968. It was the last episode to be produced by Rediffusion, since it was transmitted on their final day of broadcasting before Thames Television took over as the franchise holder for the London region (weekdays only) the following day.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carter |first=Martin |date=July 30, 2018 |title=A Brief History of Thames |url=https://networkonair.com/features/2018/07/30/a-brief-history-of-thames/ |website=Network}}</ref> The Christmas special was the first episode to be produced by Thames. For a 1986 repeat, David Jason demanded to be removed from the show, thus creating an abridged version of 25 minutes. This edition  was also notable for featuring the first animated sketch by Terry Gilliam, who would go on to contribute further material for the subsequent series.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Young |first=Bill |date=December 25, 2016 |title=Merry Christmas – Terry Gilliam style, circa 1968 |url=https://tellyspotting.kera.org/2016/12/25/merry-christmas-terry-gilliam-style-circa-1968/ |website=KERA Tellyspotting}}</ref>  {{Episode table |background=#483D8B |overall=5 |series=5 |title=46 |aux2=22 |aux2T=Archival Status |airdate=22 |episodes=
