Can you copy-and-paste? That FB group is "closed" (ie for members only), and anyway, I'm not even on Facebook.
Sounds intriguing!

From the BCU press release: Extremely rare Beatles performance among ‘lost’ footage to be unveiled for the first time in over 50 years
Long-lost performances of major international artists including the Beatles, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones and The Hollies will be screened for the first time in over 50 years after being discovered by TV experts Kaleidoscope.
The clips feature Top of the Pops performances from 1966, and will be revealed to an audience at a special day-long screening event to be held at Birmingham City University on Saturday 1 June.
The film was believed to have been lost forever, until David Chandler, a music enthusiast, contacted Kaleidoscope after seeing recent publicity on BBC television about another Beatles discovery.
In April 2018 the BFI and Kaleidoscope launched a campaign to find the Top 100 Lost TV shows. Number 2 on that list was Top of the Pops.
More than 200 lost performances were donated on videotape by one collector, and then David Chandler handed a series of 8mm film reels to Kaleidoscope, which specialises in finding ‘lost’ video and TV shows, previously believed wiped from archives and deleted forever.
Their experts digitally remastered the footage and enhanced the sound to revitalise the on-stage performances, which feature major hits including Spencer Davis Group, The Troggs and the Small Faces.
The special screening will feature talks from professionals including, and showcase the performances in front of an audience of industry experts as well as TV and music enthusiasts.
The footage at the event includes the Top of the Pops appearance of the Beatles performing Paperback Writer live from June 1966. 92 seconds that was lost – only eleven seconds was believed to exist beforehand.
Birmingham City University alumnus and Kaleidoscope CEO Chris Perry said: “Kaleidoscope thought finding 11 seconds of Paperback Writer was incredible, but to then be donated 92 seconds – and nine minutes of other 1966 Top of the Pops footage was phenomenal.”
Kaleidoscope launched its hunt for the UK’s top 100 ‘lost’ TV shows in April 2018 and has already had dozens of members of the public come forward with video tapes containing shows ranging from Lift Off to Do Not Adjust Your Set.
Top of the Pops was ranked number two on the list of the most valuable finds – behind Doctor Who – with the new collection of clips filling in some major gaps in archive history.
The screening will be held at Birmingham City University’s Parkside Building between 10am and 6pm on Saturday 1 June.
Robert Mclaughlin, from Birmingham City University’s Centre for Digital Media Technology said, “Top of the Pops represents a major influence within the UK’s cultural heritage, led the television industries with a number of ground-breaking initiatives, and is an institution that helped shape the careers, aspirations and of dreams of musicians across the globe. We’re proud to enjoy the benefits of great working relationships with industry professionals such as Chris Perry and his team at Kaleidoscope. The screening event will provide the perfect event at which to celebrate the dedication, commitment and enthusiasm of all involved in unearthing and restoring this exceptional footage.”

We don't know if it's the same Bus Stop performance do we? My mistake, you're right! From memory, I assumed 30-06-66 was a repeat of 16-06-66, which was actually repeated on 23-06-66. 30-06-66 was a new performance. |

I would be interested to know what the likelihood is of these performances being restored to a condition that they could be broadcast by the bbc again

I would be interested to know what the likelihood is of these performances being restored to a condition that they could be broadcast by the bbc again 8mm, incomplete, filmed from TV screen... I'm glad that these have surfaced, but I think the chances of these ever being in broadcast quality is probably nil. |
