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. .....unless the BBC creates a show about "found footage"

I'm the most keen to see "Spencer Davis Group – Gimme Some Lovin’ (17/11/66)", a really exciting record which I'd expect to come across visually in that setting (It's not an insert is it?). It's one of those tracks that you can't resist getting up and having a dance to, so presumably the audience would have been well into it.

"Top of the Pops was ranked number two on the list of the most valuable finds – behind Doctor Who" Sounds.....intriguing. Or am I mis-interpreting this?

Well what a great event - the first one I have attended. The TOTP '66 footage was quite magical to see and with the music painstakingly matched to the film clips it really came to life. You really got a feel of how the programme looked in a period that is very poorly represented in the archives. Jack Good's 'Masters Of Pop' was an eye-popping collision of 50s rock revival and psychedelia, reminiscent of his work on the '33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee' tv special. Seeing Julie Driscoll and The Alan Bown! in colour was great.
It was also wonderful to hear personal reminiscences from Colour Me Pop producer Steve Turner and Ayshea Brough, who was on great form. Hats off too to Chris Perry and Claire Bueno who kept things moving in the face of a few technical glitches. Hope a good sum was raised for the RNLI.
