Lostshows has no title for the first episode 12/5/1970. This is 'How it All Began',according to the BFI.
The BFI don't hold 'The Secret' or 'Quite an Adventure'.They do hold 'A Bear Called Kim' 9/4/1972 (mute).Lostshows has no episode with this title.
I also don't see why some titles are listed twice e.g. the BFI have 'Robin and Worm' at 13 minutes and 15.Lostshows has this one and 'Nelly's Scrap Book' twice.

There may be errors in their catalogue which haven't been updated. When KAL researched their TV guides in the 1990s there were some errors in the info received I understand. The fact the BFI only just found they had a lost TOTP from 1973 featuring Roxy music points to that.

Hi,John.That's true,and I always feel hypercritical when I point things out.Certainly,I could never have put together the information on the Lostshows site. But it can get frustrating that info isn't updated when people find it out.I've only tried contacting Kal twice directly via the site,but didn't get a reply either time. Despite which,I repeat "Hurrah! for Lostshows"! |

I agree. Slightly off topic, but the lunchtime ITV show I recall from similar period is 'happy house'. The new ITV lunchtime layout of programming fascinated me at that time. It included some kind of adult education show like 'yoga for health',around 11.30 followed by childrens series like 'the adventures of Rupert bear' 12ish. before lunch you got either a cookery show like 'Freud on food' with Clement Freud, or the paranormal series 'the amazing world of Kreskin'. This was phased in around the middle of 1972. By September it would include the news at one then titled 'First report' and 'good afternoon with Mary Parkinson or Mavis Nicholson at 2 p.m. Then there would be a drama series, starting with 'Crown court'. The childrens slot was standardised at that point to three shows as far as I recall 'Rainbow' with David Cook instead of Geoffrey; 'Inigo Pipkin' then with George Woodbridge befor it became 'Pipkins' and 'Mr Trimble'. The latter was a redo of Mr Pastry. Originally Rainbow was designed as the British answer to 'Sesame St'.
'Happy house' was intended for pre school children but the older kids who were on school holidays tuned in. It started as a straight affair, presented by the slightly sinister Terry Hall who always semmed to be wearing theatre make up, white face with eye liner and lipstick of some kind. The title showed an illustration of a smiling house with a pointed roof. The backdrop inside was also painted showing a mantle and shelf with amongst other things a smiling teapot. During it's summer 1972 run I was on holiday in Scotland and they introduced Rod Hull. The tome of the series changed at that point as the technicians would begin to laugh out loud as Hull improvised unscripted chaos with the puppet Emu. To retain the suspension of disbelief, Rod would refer to the technicians as being 'that naughty teapot's laughing again!' sadly this is another entirely lost series.

Oh God, John, you so take me back to that time there. With Terry Hall, the description's not quite complete though...his obvious rug is what I recall! |
