A long-lost 1968 sketch from the comedy legend Marty Feldman, who is best known for his role as Igor in the 1974 film "Young Frankenstein", has been discovered by the English film archivist group Film is Fabulous!. The sketch, which features Feldman as an ancient Egyptian tomb carving, was believed to have been destroyed after its initial airing on a BBC television show called "Marty". However, a copy of the sketch was found hidden within an old 16mm film reel, which had been compiled by a former BBC film editor. The sketch is from the first episode of "Marty", a series that aired in 1968 and starred Feldman alongside fellow comedian John Junkin. Despite being lost for nearly 60 years, the sketch was rediscovered thanks to the efforts of Film is Fabulous!, which has been working to preserve and restore forgotten moments from media history.
