On TV Brain, it’s shows this as existence unknown. But I’m wondering what that actually means? I think it was an ITV show, so I guess it would depend who produced it. I’ve come across a VHS with various episodes on, so I’d like to know if they’re actually missing or not. www.tvbrain.info/tv-archive?showname=Highway&type=lostshowCheers guys. |

It kind of means what it says. Kaleidoscope doesn't know and, at least in some cases, I wouldn't mind betting that whoever holds the archive doesn't know either or, at least, certainly doesn't know what they're missing even if they know what they have. It was a series that was made by at least ten different ITV companies two of which no longer exist. Of the others, two aren't part of ITV plc (and a third wasn't at the time we did most of the research). It's not a programme that has much value to the various archives in terms of sales, so would be a very low priority in terms of proper cataloguing, input of metadata etc. Surely all of that is pretty obvious, isn't it? Nevertheless, despite that, I note that actually we've managed to find out the archive status of 75% of the 360ish editions which doesn't seem that bad a hit rate to me. Others obviously disagree... I seem to have two from 1987 and one from 1991. I doubt we'll ever find out the status though... We have holding info for 23 out of the 24 editions shown in 1991. 1987 isn't so good but it looks like we know the status of 26 out of 42. So there's a chance. |
