Is it possible for anyone to fill me in on what T-T stuff exists in the archives, like How Do You View? Also does the longer version of the film Make Mine Mink survive? Thanks.

How Do You View? ran from 1950 to 1953 or thereabouts (possibly later), so it's possible that some of the later ones were telerecorded. Whether they survive is another matter. There was, however, a 1954 (from memory, the recording is in the other room) clip of Terry-Thomas and Richard 'Mr Pastry' Hearne in the A-Z of LE, which was part of Lime Grove day in 1991. Not sure which show it comes from, though.

The T-T clip with Richard Hearne is from We Are Your Servants (BBC 6.6.56), a star studded spectacular in celebration of 30 years of BBC TV. The Armchair Theatre is Lord Arthur Saville's Crime (ITV 3.1.60) of which, unfortunately, only two reels surivive (of three). Je is also in the pilot and series of the sitcom The Old Campaigner (BBC 1967/68) and pops up in various guest starring roles (eg Liberace Show (ATV 1969). AFAIK nothing survives from How Do You View.

I've seen plenty of clips from this, but never the whole thing. I thought it was timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the resumption of tv after the war? If it was anything to do with the anniversary of BBC TV, it would have been 20 yrs, not 30 yrs. The pilot was shown on BBC4 last Christmas. I know you know that, Dick, but I mention it for the benefit of the poster of the original query. Hardly surprising considering when it went out. Dick, I sent you an email a couple of weeks ago. Did you get it?

One of his other guest appearances is in an ATV Des O Connor Show from around 1970 (which survives in colour).

Thanks to everyone for all the info so far. I saw the pilot of The Old Campaigner on BBC4 and, re-watching it a few days ago, it set me off wondering how much TT survives. I'm sad (though not surprised) that no How Do You View survives - I thought I'd seen a little clip from it's opening titles on something-or-other (a big drawing of TT with the real McCoy walking through the gap in it's teeth), but maybe I read about it or dreamt it! Does anyone have any idea about the film Make Mine Mink? I know that when it was re-released it was shorn of a lot of material, and it is this version I have on video, so I was wondering whether the longer print still exists. I know that this is a forum about TV rather than cinema, so if anyone knows of another place where I can put forward my question, I'd be much obliged.
Once again, thank you all.

They did a similar programme a year later which was to celebrate 21 years after the start of BBCtv. Both shows were shown in cut versions on BBC Choice - the material removed was the 'high culture' ballet and opera segments in the main. The whole of We Are Your Servants was shown at the NFT a few years ack.

Yes, sorry, We Are Your Servants is indeed to celebrate ten years of post war TV.
I replied to your e-mail Louis but I'll send it again as it must have gone astray.
