Not sure if this has been asked before, but are all the archive interviews featured in the film interview series Talking Pictures already extant in the BBC archive? This series has been running for a couple of years now and features a wide range of material from the late 50s to the 1980s. Given the Beebs reputation for junking material I'm surprised that some of it still survives, especially the older 50s and 60s material. So is this a case of the BBC simply utilising material it already has in the archive, or are some of them recovered from elsewhere? Anyone know?

Could be that a lot of the interviews were actually inserts conducted on film and that the inserts, not the complete shows survive. Certainly as far as I recall when i was looking into survival rates of 'film night' and the Barry Norman 'Film 71' onwards, on occasions interview or feature inserts for missing programmes survived. But the BBC archiving of the shows seemed fairly comprehensive. Maybe as producers had the inserts held as they realised they may want to reuse them again in future programmes of the same series.
