Simon that's just a montage of clips from the two surviving editions in Canal's archive when they performed 'Long John' (4th April 1959) and 'Rah Rah Rockingham' (30th May 1959).
In the 'lost' 28th March 1959 show in my possession, there's nothing new from L.R- it's yet another peformamce of 'Long John' i'm afraid!

my thanks to John and Paul for above. uk imdb has only one other credit for Lord Rockingham's XI, that being an episode of Saturday Stars 26/10/68 which it calls Innocence, Anarchy and Soul, 45 minutes Music. Quite an impressive cast...Jack Good..Host, Brain Auger and Trinity, Andrew Bown, The Breakaways, Lonnie Donegan, Julie Driscoll with Trinity, Chris Farlowe, The Flirtation's, Don Lang, Lance LeGault, Lord Rockingham's XI, Lulu, Red Price-Saxaphone, Emperor Rosko. Producer - Jack Good, Musical Director - Harry Robertson(as Harry Robinson), Choreographer - Peter Gordeno. uk imdb doesn't have a production company/television broadcaster for this....does anyone know who made this please. Lost Shows says Saturday Stars...12 episodes made, 10 are Missing, including 26/10/68 which it has as an episode title.. Master Of Pop..is this just another name for Innocence, Anarchy and Soul..can anyone advise  |

Master Of Pop..is this just another name for Innocence, Anarchy and Soul..can anyone advise Here's a thread i posted about this very series a few years ago Simon. "innocence,anarchy & soul" Feb 28, 2009 at 8:28pm Quote Edit like Post Options Post by Alan Turrell on Feb 28, 2009 at 8:28pm I have just been reading through an issue of record mirror dating 5th oct 1968 and saw an interesting article for a Jack good produced show.It was called " innocence, anarchy and soul,for itv transmission on saturday oct 12th .I think it was made by yorkshire television and jack good was told to book the talent of his choice and the result was that in one show you had Alan bown,brian auger,julie driscoll,breakaways,the chants,lonnie donegan,chris farlowe,flirtations,don lang,lulu,emperor rosko,ian whitcombeand a re-formed lord rockingham's xl .Apparantly the show was in three parts and i wondered if anyone here has heard of this show and of course what if anything exists of it. |

Yes, you're right, it is just another name for (I.A.and Soul) it was re-titled "Master of Pop" according to the NME dated 19/10/68 page 8
also the TV company that screened the show was Yorkshire TV according to the NME dated 2/11/68 page 9 |

Master Of Pop..is this just another name for Innocence, Anarchy and Soul..can anyone advise Some rambling thoughts I tend to agree Simon that Innocence,Anarchy and Soul is the same show as Master of Pop. I also think the show was produced by ATV rather than Yorkshire but maybe wrong? It may have been conceived as a three parter but the show was hit by union action which may have stifled making three parts? It was expensive to produce at £100,000, when at the time a Dr Who episode was being made for aprox £5000 and an Avengers ep was being made for £30,000 However Yorkshire TV unions were among the most militant rather than those in the cosy fun factory at Elstree so it could have well been a Yorkshire TV production rather than an ATV one? Saturday Stars was basically a try out for pilot shows - two did lead to further series, one for Vicki Carr (LWT)and another for Englebert Humperdink (ATV) another not listed anywhere had the bizarre paring of Lulu and Clement Freud . The last half of 1968 was a turbulent time for TV management and unions, some shows were cancelled or re-scheduled at a moments notice and therefore listings anywhere may not be entirely accurate? |

Hi,
The Clement Freud one is
Saturday 9th November 1968
LWT Saturday Stars: Lulu According To Freud
and includes...
Lulu - The Boat That I Row, Boy, Blame it On My Youth, The Letter
Frank Ifield - Just One More Chance, The Swiss Maid
The title 'Innocence, Anarchy and Soul' was supposed to represent what Good saw as the three stages of the evolution of pop music. That week's TV Times TV Times didn't list a production company.

NME 9/11/68 Terry Quinn's TV column (verbatim)...
We know that Yorkshire TV WILL get Jack Good back to produce some more pop shows...but next time they won't put them on anywhere near "Dixon of Dock Green." "Master of Pop" created quite a stir and was a hit as far as the critics were concerned. But most viewers stayed with Sergeant Dixon on Auntie BBC.
"We were more than pleased with the result," a spokesman for Yorkshire told me,"but I guess you can't expect a one-up special to compete with a tried and true favourite like Dixon."

Wow interesting Tony and William thanks.
The fact that it now seemed confirmed as a YTV production should!!! mean it has a high rate of surviving...and in colour?
as YTV had done with the Tony Hatch special.
Lance Legault was a protégé of Jack Good..he tried over few years to make him into a star but it just didn't happen.

Yes many thanks, great research by you guys. Some years back i checked with ITV -Carlton Intl back then- to see if they held a copy(mistakingly believing it was an ATV production). Their answer was of course no. Now you've established it was YTV my hopes are raised a copy still survives somewhere.
Incidentally L.R released a 10th anniversary revival LP to coincide with this TV broadcast entitled ' The Return of Lord Rockingham' in late '68.
Off topic, William do you own any copies of NME between June 1958 and June 1959?

just located this, in the comments below, it says, this is from November 1958, as it shows Tommy Steele's only appearance on OH BOY!Lost Shows.com doesn't mention Tommy Steele for any of the 5 episodes for November 1958, so I am confused! I can tell you that Lord Rockingham's XIappear at 2 minutes, 2.30 minutes, 3 minutes, and 4 minutes of this 5.04 minute 8 mm footage, there are many faces on here I don't know..so anyone please. Apologies if this is already known about or been covered on previous posts/threads.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch3VggfNXmM |

This has been covered in another thread Simon. It shows dress rehearsals from two shows 4th October and 1st November 1958 captured on a Bolex wind-up camera. Great quality images. I doubt there's any other surviving footage out there which captures 'Oh Boy!' so early in its run. Tommy Steele had appeared on 1st November edition together with Cliff Richard who you see in the sequence.
As a fellow stickler-for-detail Simon, you may be interested to know that running orders to two of the lost shows telerecorded for America were found several years ago. They reveal on 25th April '59 Lord Rockingham performed 'Wee Tom' and on 2nd May they performed 'Tom Hark' (the hit for Elias & His Zigzag Jive Flutes).
After their airing in Britain both those shows were broadcast on American ABC on 13th Aug.& 23rd July '59 respectively and unedited it seems, so it would be wonderful to discover they do reside intact in some forgotten personal archive Stateside. That's my new year wish and has been for more years than i care to recall!
Artists in order of appearance are: Cliff Richard, Vernons Girls (long clip),Ronnie Carroll, Don Lang, Vince Eager with Marty Wilde, Musical Director Harry Robinson addressing the audience, Lord Rockingham, Vince Eager, Cherry Wainer, Dong Lang (again), John Barry Seven, Cuddly Dudley, Peter Elliott, Tommy Steele and the Dallas Boys.
