There's an 11th episode broadcast six months later on 1.10.68, according to the M&W website and the Wikipedia entry. Has the Kinks as one of the musical guests. Not sure why it went out all on its own so long after the rest of them?! I guess that's missing, too, as it wasn't on the box set issued in 2016. Would love to know what songs the Kinks would have performed and whether any audio exists.

Yes, all the missing BBC episodes exist as very good off air audio, recording by an Australian fan using a line-out.

I know partial audio from these two acts survives, only Eric's first number and both Pitneys.

25/02/68 Eric Burdon And The Animals When I Was Young, Good Times, Gene Pitney Town Without Pity, On The Street Where You Live

Sounds like a repeat (or first UK showing?) of the edition recorded in 1967 where they performed A Well Respected Man and Dandy. This seems to be backed up by this listing which shows an intial US air date of July 29th 1967 (under the title Piccadilly Palace) for this show:

The Kinks appearance on this show seems to be an omission from Doug Hinman's usually comprehensive Kinks masterwork, All Day And All Of The Night, which is ironic as a photo from the M a W show is used for the cover of the book!

Dear All

The following link

www.ctva.biz/UK/ITC/PiccadillyPalace.htm


tells

1) which 2 songs or tracks were sung by Dave Clark 5 and by Cliff Richard on 31 March 1968
2) It says Distributed world wide by Incorporated Television Company (ITC) (Lew Grade)
Does this mean the entire ITC series could exist in more than one part of the world besides the UK?
3) It confirms that which TV Pop Diaries says in regards to the other singers and songs in these episodes,
do any of these exist in audio form?
4) It gives a complete listing of the episodes including sketches, which may exist on their own?
5) It looks as though ABC in America broadcast these before ATV did in the UK, by the dates of traNsmission
on the link above

If the link does not work
