In answer to some of the questions: BBC Radio 4 was the only broadcaster interested in broadcasting the interview. I could not find a TV channel willing to look at the material. The images are clear. I am slowly going through the other 60 odd cans; it's an expensive business!
I have found at least thirty Tele-recordings of TV "ad-mags" from the late '50 and early '60s in the cans. I have viewed six of them so far. At least one has the original presentation link (spot ads and station clock). There is music and drama too, mainly from ITV.
Tracking down the copyright holders is difficult, as is finding a producer or broadcaster who can turn this "find" into TV for today’s audience. As it is all black and white I can not see anyone wanting to broadcast it - or make a "special" from the images. This seems to be the biggest problem. I'm told broadcasters find black and white is a "turn off" point for the TV audience.
The reason some might feel they are "not getting enough detail" is that I have only just discovered missingepisodes.com - (sorry!). I'm happy to share information about the "find" and am grateful for your interest.

Thanks for the interesting posting, Richard. Until not so long ago, Admags only survived in VERY small numbers and, although some have been discovered in recent years, they are still an "endangered species" archivally (as is original continuity of this vintage). The BFI (British Film Institute) might well be interested in taking copies for the National Film & TV Archive. Dick Fiddy is the person to talk to (he has been behind many missing TV search initiatives in the past). I don't have his e-mail address to hand (can anyone post it?) but you can contact him via the BFI. The other stuff may be interesting to them as well; at the very least some of the material could be of use to make up a screening at the National Film Theatre, where they have annual events showing recovered TV items such as these. Failing that, contact Chris Perry at Kaleidoscope (an organisation devoted to finding missing TV), who can put you in touch with Dick. Kaleidoscope are at: www.kaleidoscope.org.uk Let us know how you get on, Richard, and also it would be interesting to see a full list of the contents of the films when you have them catalogued more fully. I've sent you a personal message, Richard, by the way. |

hi Richard, where are you viewing your films and are you getting them telecined at the same time?
I usually use the BBC at £220 per hour plus stock for my telecine work. They're very good!
