I would hazard a guess and say it does exist (at the BBC, you mean). As it's a colour film report - many of which do survive, in addition to some of the actual programmes, i'd imagine it's a copy of the insert which the BBC will have themselves anyway. I don't know this for a fact though and any official confirmation from someone in the know would be welcome. Unless, of course, they acquired it from the BBC at the time it was being discarded and is the only copy.
Does anyone know for sure?

I have emailed BBC Archiving already.
It's not on the BFI website at all. I will let you know anything I hear.
And thanks and apologies for putting this in the correct Forum. Force of habit you understand, along with multi-tasking!

Just got this email from BBC archiving (extract)
Hi Ray That's very interesting about the LNLU film, as it is missing - specifically we have a record of it existing but it is listed as officially missing, whereas Infax does not normally list missing programmes from the 60s. So now we know where it went! I will get our archive team to get in touch with the University of Brighton and see if we can arrange its return. thanks again

Nice one, Ray! It's always worth checking as I was wrong on this occasion.
One thing: does the BFI website list all LNLU material in the archive? Interesting if it does as I was missing the Infax resource greatly (which listed the programme).

I'm not sure, in truth. the BFI listed some LNLU's, but I'm not sure what they've actually got!
This is also pretty early colour footage too, shot in May '68. The BBC had been showing programmes in colour less than a year!

The BBC had been showing programmes in colour less than a year! Ah, that's probably the BFI's usual confusing database stuff then. Just a listing of some LNLU material that was made but no indication as to whether it exists or not (at the BBC or BFI or anywhere else). Not a complete listing of all the editions made either so of little real use! Amazingly, the BBC actually have a b/w t/r of the very first LNLU edition that went out in colour (April 20th, 1967), as a one-off on the third anniversary of the start of the channel. Now, if someone would perform colour recovery (and VidFire) on it... That's my eventual hope anyway. It's an important enough item to warrant it, in my view.

If you search on the same website for bbc items you will find that they have other stuff including a 1970 Nationwide programme and a 1965 Blue peter among other things too.

I did. And the Southern TV news item from 1959 in Worthing. The BBC ones have been mentioned to BBC Archiving.
I remarked on this in another post on the Forum. ;D
