Ray's just posted information about how a Do Not Adjust Your Set episode has turned up in a European archive after being entered-and winning-in a Continental contest.
I've wondered for a while if it might be worth compiling a list of shows which are both missing and were entered in such competitions.Is it worth doing,in the hopes that more might be discovered?
I believe that a Cushing Sherlock Holmes was one competitor?

I haven't got the time to do it myself, but I fully support your idea and I can help with the odd question here and there. |

Hmm... I'm sure the UK winners aren't missing. But some of the nominations might be?
Trouble is, how do we know all the shows that were ever nominated?

I found quite a few articles about international television festivals in the online archives of ‘The Times’ and ‘The Guardian’. Most of the British programmes that were mentioned still exist. However I wasn’t sure if the following have survived or not:
Anglia’s “Survival: The New Ark” which won at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival in 1963 (this probably still exists as it was narrated by Prince Philip)
Associated-Rediffusion’s “Children of Revolution” (documentary about young people in Czechoslovakia) which received the Silver Dove award at the Monte Carlo Television Festival in 1966
Associated-Rediffusion’s “Stage One Contest – Caroline” (a short play written by schoolchildren) which received an award of honour at the Munich Prix Jeunesse in 1966
BBC2’s “Double Concerto” (featuring pianists Daniel Barenboim and Vladimir Ashkenazy) which won at the International Television Festival in Prague in 1966 and at the Monte Carlo Television Festival in 1967
An episode of BBC’s "Tomorrow’s World" (I don’t know which one) which won at the West Berlin International Television Festival in 1967
BBC documentary "Indian Eyes on the Future" which won at the West Berlin International Festival in 1967
It’s worth mentioning here that two British programmes were filmed at the Rose D’Or International Television Festival in Montreux in 1964. These were “Ready, Steady, Go to Montreux!” (featuring The Rolling Stones) and a “Scene at 6.30” special (featuring Cilla Black). Perhaps Swiss TV companies helped with the production of these programmes. Maybe some sequences still exist in the TV archive of a company such as Radio Télévision Suisse.

I'm sure I read that the original was probably wiped because the Montreux special was considered to be superior version, unless it exists as a telerecording. |

Billy Smart's pointed out that the Magpie episode 'My Brother Jonathan',which also survives,was another entry for the Prix Jeunesse.Anyone know if they hold any other entries?

The Black and White Minstrel Show won the Montreux in 1961.
