It might have been a repeat that was delayed....

I think it was in that storm that Gorden Kaye was injured when a billboard was blown onto his car. I can remember Allo Allo was taken off the air for a week or two while he recovered....

I had an Acorn Electron with all the software on tape. Occasionally the tape needed positioning to a particular place, & the data recorder had a feature where the speaker could be used to listen to the tape to help things.
