Guys.
I'm now working on a repeat of the BBC Apollo 11 material for a digital channel and I thought I would ask if anyone had any footage out there they would be willing to share for it?
By luck, several people have come forward in the last few days and I am piecing together what I can, but more is always welcome. The deadline looms; I have days to put this together.
If anyone can help please respond in the thread or PM me.
Regards,
Paul

Just out of interest, Paul, how much Apollo 11 material survives and what is the nature of it (i.e. is it off-air cine / domestic video / b&w telerecording etc)? Really interested to know. Cheers.

Do any of the Patrick Moore sequences survive? I seem to recall someone saying they didn't a while back. I saw some of these shown from 16mm at High School back in the early/mid eighties (in NZ). If they don't, perhaps someone could contact whoever handles whatever became of the old NZ National Film Library these days...

There is no colour studio nor even PasB film recordings I'm afraid although there are all of these for the other missions. There are some inserts on colour and black and white film but these seem to be shared with other missions also. I do have some black and white material from the actual broadcasts...but at this stage I can't say what it is!... Cheers, Paul

I'll chase it up regardless. Cheers, Paul

at the time of the Apollo missions there were quite a few 8MM souvenirs brought out,which if they are still about , might yield somethin if the masters are not around?
James Burke was a gadget man at the time, he may have some recordings of his own?
Patrick Moore's friend Horace Dawle use to visit all the great space happening venues in the 1960/70s. He and his wife are long gone but he donated his observatory and space material to the public . He may have some home movie stuff? The keeper of his observatory is David Early, a space artist, this might work daval@kbnet.co.uk
hope that is of help?

Is this likely to be a BBC FOUR prog ?

I'm sure someone as used to this kind of thing as yourself will have better luck. I am fairly confident that it was the Apollo 11 sequences though. We were studying this event in History at the time.

Is this likely to be a BBC FOUR prog ? Yes. It goes out on BBC4 at Midnight on the 27th... that's Sunday night. It's two hours long and includes all the important stages of the missions with the live commentary, some live in vision material from the studio with James Burke and some film inserts with James Burke. There is actually even more material although unless you're a spacehead it could be deemed a little dry, but the programme is two hours long; it's shaping up well. Cheers, Paul

I have now seen the pictures from the Shibaden tapes. The footage is actually from an episode of Tomorrows World as a preview to Apollo 10, some studio material of Apollo 10 and some recording of a highlights programme presented by James Burke and Patrick Moore of the landing on the moon. Most of the pictures are of satellite material I already have but I may be using some of the sound! I have some other studio material from Apollo 11 but you'll have to watch the show! Cheers, Paul

Hi Andy. Yes, this still is a frame from the landing of Apollo 11...a simulation of course done by I think CBS. I have used a brief section of this but in the main have used the actual Nasa film footage of the lunar landing. I know we didn't see it live at the time but it's such an amazing piece of film I felt it would be criminal not to show it. I recorded my links with Patrick Moore yesterday and today and he was amazed at some of the footage. He hadn't seen it since the time. Cheers, Paul

I take it that the statement 'nothing exists from the U.K. coverage of the Apollo 11 landing' is now no longer the case.
I stayed up to 4.30am that Monday morning to watch the event, having waded through the previous day's television coverage.
Needless to say I was less than alert for the rest of Monday.
Yours,

along with the 'Failure Is Not An Option' progs on the History Channel, this Apollo 11 programme is shaping up to be a 'do not miss' programme.
