According to the Kaleidoscope Archive Listings Book for Children's shows, all of these are missing except that an extract featuring Kim Wilde was known to exist on Domestic Video from the edition 12.12.81.
Might be worth contacting Chris Perry of Kaleidoscope.

wow.if you can get hold of these that would be quite a recovery. Wonder what guests/ music is on them. If you do get hold of these it also might be worth contacting the people on this site as im sure they would be very excited www.tiswasonline.com/news.php |

Do the Betamax tapes still exist? This is certainly an exciting find.

This is quite interesting because about 7 years ago, a girl at the place I was working at at the time mentioned that her parents had lots of episodes of Tiswas on Betamax tapes, and I showed interest not only because we were already talking about Tiswas (I'm pretty sure I started the conversation), but also because I mentioned for many old TV programmes, home tapings prove to be the only record.
I did ask about whether she would be willing to make copies, and she said no, the tapes were going nowhere and she didn't want anyone else to know about them. I think she was worried I might get her family charged with piracy or somesuch, more than pride of exclusivity or anything like that. She got very tetchy when I asked questions about them.

Although the later 1981/82 episodes of Tiswas weren't as great as the earlier shows, what they do have is David Rappaport - a vastly underrated comedy genius. The 'Green Nigel' sketches, pisstakes of Blue Peter are particularly good, so the more episodes we get in circulation the better!

Many Tiswas's from this era circulate in trading circles. It's worth contacting the nice people at www.tiswasonline.com/ to see what's out there from your collection and what isn't. :-) |

Hi, this post was mentioned over at Tiswas Online, so I came over to check it out. Turns out all those episodes are mine, transferred from my Betamax tapes. Far from missing, they have been in circulation for a few years and I am very happy that they are still being distributed. Kicking myself that my family didn't get a Betamax for the Tarrant years, but we got one in time for the final series of Tiswas. They were all recorded in the London Weekend Television area, with adverts included. I've attached the current text list of what I have, along with episode breakdowns, in case anyone is interested. The majority of these have come from other kind people - the only ones from me are these final series shows, and the 7th anniversary show (which a schoolfriend recorded for me). I am not actively trading at the moment, but if you head over to the forum at Tiswas Online and post in the trading section, most people over there have some or all of these shows. No money changes hands - just blanks and stamps or trading. Andrew Wooding www.tiswasonline.com |

I would send the LOT to Kal, to be honest.
I am not sure what they have and what they haven't but if they are on DVD, send with the dates and episode numbers along with the discs. With off-airs, sometimes there will be a better quality recording that comes along. Best to be safe.
