Glad to see this historic interview with Joe Orton was preserved.

Just wondering what the survival rate of this show was? I'm desperate to know if the Stones/Mick Jagger appearance on 5 Feb. 1967 has survived wiping.

This thread might be worth a look: missingepisodes.proboards.com/thread/7015/joe-orton-exists

[Jeff Leach]

Sad to report a poor survival rate

www.lostshows.com/default.aspx?programme=2b8e7d48-c7df-4407-9711-e14c956e6af3

Out of an original total of 179 episodes, 173 episodes are missing.

05.02.67 Episode 19 (missing)

The 1979 series is unbelievably in a similar state of destruction

Out of an original total of 15 episodes, 12 episodes are missing and another exists on a format inferior to the original.

[iankmclachlan]

I remember Eamonn interviewed William Hartnell once but sadly it was too late for me to be allowed to watch it. I suppose it does not exist sadly.

[williammcgregor]

Article in the Edinburgh Evening News and Dispatch 19/02/67

The sound on the Eamonn Andrews show was interrupted during a discussion on drugs between Lord Boothby and Marianne Faithfull a spokesman said the cuts were made by producer Malcolm Morris "When an interchange regarding drugs included statements which he considered ill-advised to transmit."

The above show is mentioned in the book "Butterfly On A Wheel" - "The Great Rolling Stones Drugs Bust" by Simon Wells.

Simon is the show with Billie Whitelaw the one where he introduces the new world of home video recording?
I think he has a Philips machine on show supposedly playing back on a large screen. The Philips machine also makes a guest appearance on The Baron: Diplomatic Immunity as a security device..

The Cassius Clay one is interesting (IIRC) in a sense that he is almost apologetic for winning against Henry Cooper, but anyway it was probably the show where he won the hearts of the British public forever?

Peter, yes you are correct on both counts above... (a)here is the previous thread complete with photos of Billie, Eamonn and the Phillips home video recorder

see on Page 1 Post by Ian Wegg April 3 2012 2.23 pm and following post by Neil Megson April 3 2012 2.36 pm.

(b) A discussion of the fight...Cassius Clay now wanting to be called Muhammad Ali..is sorry that it ended the way it did - he praises Cooper as a good fighter
but knows he cuts easily. CC/MA is concerned not to injure people, he says he is not a hard hitter, just a scientific, classy boxer, a fast mover'.

Peter/Ray/everyone..here a couple of clips of Eamonn Andrews from something called Pictorial Sound Quiz 1953...was this a Television Programme?

Nice work Simon.

I don't think Pictorial Sound Quiz was a TV show.

There are quite a few Thames outtakes in Pathe (mainly from the 70s).

Hi Simon,

The TV Times was not good at listing that evening's guests...but every now and again they would mention who was on...

Brenda Lee was on the 05/11/67 show

Frank Ifield was on the 12/11/67 show

[Ray Langstone (was saintsray)]

""Sunday 2 June 1968 ABC The Eammon Andrews Show...last show (Eamonn leaves ABC to present Today For Thames).""

ABC lost their franchise and ceased weekend broadcasting in the North and Midlands regions on 28 July 1968, and on 30 July 1968 in the London region weekday company Thames began broadcasting (which was made up of the television interests of Rediffusion (owning 49%), and ABC, (owning 51%).

[stevej]

By complete coincidence I was just moving some open reel audio tapes I'd not looked at for ages and a piece of paper fell out of one of the boxes...

 

It reads:

Eamonn Andrews Show
ITV 11.15pm 7 Apr '68
Lulu, Joe Frazier, Spike Milligan, Lionel Sanders

I can't remember whether this home recording is a complete programme or just edited extracts. I'll have to dig out one of my open reel machines and investigate!

Steve J

[stevej]

I've just run this tape- not a complete edition for 7/4/68 sadly, but a sizeable chunk of it- around 25 mins.

The tape starts with Eamonn introducing Lulu and discussing the problems of long-distance dating (Lulu was at the time going out with Davy Jones in the USA). Veteran Hollywood actor(?) Lionel Sanders is also present throughout this chat.

Lulu performs 'The Look Of Love' and 'Thoroughly Modern Millie'

-cut in recording-

Back with boxer Joe Frazier and Spike Milligan joining Lulu and Lionel Sanders. Eamonn 'complains' about Spike's frequent habit of phoning his secretary and dictating long notes to him rather than sending letters! Lulu also says she's received letters from Spike.

Spike says to Lionel Sanders, 'Go on Lionel, take your clothes off, let's have some fun!' Sanders comes back with 'Don't let the necklace fool ya pal!' [he's evidently wearing some vaguely hippy-ish gear.]

Spike virtually takes over interviewing Joe Frazier, asking him what he thinks about Cassius Clay's tactic of never approaching his opponents in the ring, instead making them come to him.

Spike and Lulu discuss the pitfalls of marriage.

Eamonn just has time to thanks his guests before the leader tape ends the recording.

The technical quality is good for a home recording, with none of the 'frame buzz' which usually blights 'mike to the speaker' efforts. Possibly this was done with a direct input to the recorder. A shame the recording isn't complete as Milligan is on particularly good form.

Hope the above is of some interest.
