This thread has been assembled for everybody's reference at Chris Perry's suggestion. It contains ALL the replies / info he's obtained so far from the NFA regarding queries about their databases (either confirming or denying the existence of programmes which were not generally catalogued or known about until now). I've pinned the thread to the top of the page and left it open for Chris to continue posting replies as he receives them from the BFI / NFA. PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR QUERIES HERE, FOLKS- THIS THREAD IS FOR CHRIS'S REPLIES ONLY! There is already an appropriate thread to add any new programmes you want him to check out. Thanks - Laurence.

BFI say:
We do not hold Top of the Pops 1/1/64 (this is a filmographic record on database), the same with the Simon Dee Show
(we have an untransmitted Simon Dee programme called Now and Then, not LWT).
Cucumber Castle 26/12/70 on film, not tape.
All of these Muffin the Mules are held on film.
No copy of Good Old Days 30/12/69.
The only 1967 TOTP they hold is
POP MUSIC. Boxing Day edition of the pop chart programme with hit records from
1967. Part 1 had been broadcast on previous day (not held by the Archive).
Billy Cotton introduced a cut version of this programme, in which he talked
about the inception of the series, for transmission on Channel 4 in 1988,
details of which are included at the end of the synopsis.
TOP OF THE POPS 67 main title with some shots of the dancing audience (00.16).
Very brief interview clips with Barry Gibb, talking about how the Bee Gees are
glad they moved to Britain (00.21); Bee Gees drummer Colin Peterson on flower
power (00.32), Robin Gibb on the incomprehensibility of The Beatles' song 'I
Am The Walrus' (00.38), Maurice Gibb saying how Scottish folk singer Angus
McBrandy will be the biggest thing in the next ten years (00.42), and Julie
Felix talks about how wonderful the Bee Gees are (00.47). Alan Freeman
introduces the Bee Gees, who perform 'Massachusetts' (03.04). Pete Murray
introduces some brief interview clips of celebrities talking about The Monkees
(03.21). Interview clips with Spencer Davis (03.23), Julie Felix (03.32), Dave
Clark (03.50) and Paul Jones (03.57). The Monkees perform 'I'm a Believer'. A
promotional film consisting of film clips from the group's television show
(06.35). Jimmy Savile wishes viewers a happy Boxing Day and introduces The
Rolling Stones, who perform 'Let's Spend The Night Together' (10.40). Freeman
introduces Long John Baldry who performs 'Let The Heartaches Begin, with
pronounced smooching among the audience members to accompany the song (14.10).
Murray introduces Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich, who perform 'Zabadak!'
(18.22). Savile introduces Lulu, who performs 'Love Loves to Love Love'
(20.43). Murray introduces a compilation of brief interview clips with
celebrities talking about flower power (20.43). Brief interview clips with
Julie Felix (21.15), Spencer Davis (21.19), Jimmy Savile (21.26), Peter Noone
(21.28), Cilla Black (21.32), Val Doonican (21.34), Alan Price (21.39), and
Manfred Mann (21.51). Scott McKenzie, 'San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers
in Your Hair)'. McKenzie is heard on the soundtrack only, the song being
accompanied by film clips of hippies in San Francisco, including at a music
concert in a park, and footage of the 'Fourteen Hour Technicolor Dream' held at
Alexandra Palace in April 1967, including a brief shot of John Lennon (24.36).
Freeman introduces dance group The Gojos, comprised of four female dancers
wearing sparkly white hooded dresses and knee-length white boots, who perform
to 'Reflections' by Diana Ross and the Supremes [the group are only heard on
the soundtrack] (27.55). Savile introduces Cliff Richard performing 'All My
Love' (31.15). Murray introduces Procul Harum, who perform 'A Whiter Shade of
Pale' (35.44). Freeman introduces footage of The Beatles performing 'All You
Need Is Love'. McCartney, Lennon and Harrison are sitting on high chairs, while
Starr is on drums in the background. The audience, which includes Mick Jagger
(briefly seen singing along) are sitting cross-legged on the studio floor in
front of the group. Balloons spelling the word L O V E are on the set in the
background. During the latter part of the song, people wearing sandwich boards
bearing the words 'All You Need is Love' in various languages wander among the
audience. The Beatles are accompanied by an orchestra during the performance
(39.35). Savile introduces Engelbert Humperdinck performing 'The Last Waltz',
which includes shots of a waltzing couple superimposed over Humperdinck singing
(43.13). Freeman, Murray and Savile together close the programme (43.30).
Closing credits with the TOP OF THE POPS theme tune, superimposed over some
brief video clips, but accompanied mainly by shots of the audience dancing (45
mins 33 secs).
Notes: All songs were performed in the TOTP studio unless stated otherwise.
Traffic are billed in the 'Radio Times' as appearing on the programme, but they
do not appear.
The Archive also holds a copy of this programme when broadcast on Channel Four
on 31.12.1988 as part of an evening's tribute to Bill Cotton. The programme was
preceded by Cotton talking about how TOP OF THE POPS originated and was
initially recorded in studios in Manchester (1 min. 40 secs). The programme
that followed was a cut version of the above; the missing footage is as
follows. The opening interviews; The interviews about The Monkees. The Monkees
promotional film clip. Long John Baldry. Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
Lulu. The interviews on flower power. The Gojos dance number. Engelbert
Humerdinck. The credits on this transmission were amended to omit the artists
not featured.
BFI say:
Star Turn we have on VHS
Not Only…But Also 20/3/65 we hold – acquired from Museum of Television and Broadcasting
Sorry to say that the 4 Zcars are all linking errors on the Database
[Day Trip we have VHS of 23/10/72 but not 1962 episode]
Dick Emery Show 19/2/72
Theatre 625: How to get rid of your husband
And Till Death us do part: the phone yes we hold these
The Phone is a BetaSP, duration unknown, not likely to be whole ep, just surviving clip.
Clapperboard – yes we hold all of these 4
Sooty Show – yes all of these. And 19/5/70 is a Thames tx date [features the Skating Meteors if that helps]
Sooty’s Space Ship and All Star Variety are held on film.
I've checked the Muffins made, made by Muffin Syndicate/Derick Williams Productions, so they are not the BBC ones, but later ones made for selling to film shows.
The same is likely to be true of the BBC Sootys, they are remakes made by Corbett to sell on 16mm and a lot of those still survive.
I've asked the BBC if they hold the BBC finds listed here.
BBC say they have the digi of Star Turn, and they have had back a copy of the Not Only.
But they knew nothing about the other BBC finds, they are delighted.
Armchair Theatre - A Voice in the Sky - not listed but may be mis-titled on their system, they are checking; Some Talk of Alexander - held
Play for Today - Man Friday - nothing held
More from BFI/NFA/BBC
Television Playhouse: A Walk On The Water (15.06.61) we hold a copy – identified as incomplete.
Play Of The Week: The Crucible (03.11.59) this is the surviving footage held by ITV
The Moonstone: Episode 5 (20.09.59)- sorry this is a linking error, do not hold this.
THE BORDERERS. 18.03.69 Justice on film, 16mm telerecording
The Price of Fame 20/11/69 VHS, BBC have db.
Adventures of the Big Man – all on film
Fabian of the Yard – all on film
Sunday Night Theatre: Anastasia DVD, BBC hold 35mm telerecording
Old Grey Whistle Test Zappa yes video master - I have asked if it is complete
The Expert: A scientific fact, VHS, BBC hold digi
Sykes and a Big Big Show: Concorde VHS, BBC hold digi
Once Upon a Time : Flat Stanley VHS, digi at ITV
Now Look Here 12/11/71 & 17/12/71 on VHS, BBC have digi
Val Doonican 17/2/73 - yes tape master but with Basil Bruch and Fivepenny Piece
Music Hall – Thames tx dates, yes have all 1969 & 70s dates. On video
NFA say:
"A lot of these have been acquired since the publication of holdings in 1994 - at that time we were taking in big numbers of 2” collections from ITV and BBC - a large part of the cataloguing was undertaken within the Heritage Lottery Project from 2000-2005 which also involved transfers from 2” to digital tape."
BBC say though that most of the missing stuff isn't held by them, so it must have been there pre-1994.
As I thought the ATV stuff was acquired in 1998 from Polygram, when we were told it was wiped.
Re Frank Zappa on OGWT, the NFA hold:
An insert featuring the Frank Zappa interview:
A special edition featuring Frank Zappa, the Mothers of Invention, Jen Luc
Ponty and extracts from Frank Zappa's first film 200 MOTELS.
The BBC have clarified some holdings:
The Expert: A Scientific Fact – yes, but it is a studio recording spool not the complete programme – the original 2” was scratched and junked way back in antiquity. It’s likely the NFA would have the VHS made from this when we transferred the 2” studio spool (we used to do them a spare VHS to send with the master).
Sykes and a Big Big Show: Concorde – yes (this might also be a studio recording – not easy to tell on the exciting new computer system)
As of today Infax was turned off, and Fabric started to come online!
NFA say:
This is... Tom Jones
"NFA just want to confirm that ITV have always had this series, and we do indeed have copies, because we transferred them for Carlton TV under the HLF. ITV should therefore have everything that we have." - I still have a few queries about this though because ITV don't own it any more and indeed keep no material any longer. So I need to check Mr Jones has all the episodes.
NFA say:
Jack Hylton
Would you mind pointing out to Peter Stirling and Raybadrick that the Jack Hylton collection has been well publicised for many years. The book, "Jack Hylton Presents" by Pamela W Logan is still available and apart from the season of programmes and lecture in 1995, there have been many opportunities to see the collection at BFI Southbank since then, as well as viewing some in the mediatheque."
I have still queried the specific enquiry though about VT surviving because that isn't in the book.
More confirmed NFA info:
World of Beachcomber episodes? Yes tx 29/9/69 & 20/10/69 on tape

EW 10 9/6/64 no.713 Yes, on video [under tx date, not ep no.]
So it's generally excellent news and I'm very grateful to the NFA for checking so much.
Actually just coz it says they are on tape, don't assume they are VT. They are just transfers onto VT. THis is what they actually hold on that VT:
We have the following World of Beachcomber material:
29/09/69 35mm colour film sequences
06/10/69 16mm telerecording soundtrack only
13/10/69 16mm telerecording soundtrack only
20/10/69 16mm b/w telerecording
That's why every simple query takes an age for us to double-check as we query every query.
EW10 is also a telerercording now held on VT.
NFA say:
ATV Today 10/10/67 we only hold three of these from the 1970s, this is most likely in the Archive of Central England collection.
Q5 31/3/69 we have video dubbed from BBC copy.

The only 1967 TOTP they hold is
POP MUSIC. Boxing Day edition of the pop chart programme with hit records from
1967. Part 1 had been broadcast on previous day (not held by the Archive).
Billy Cotton introduced a cut version of this programme, in which he talked
about the inception of the series, for transmission on Channel 4 in 1988,
details of which are included at the end of the synopsis.
TOP OF THE POPS 67 main title with some shots of the dancing audience (00.16).
Very brief interview clips with Barry Gibb, talking about how the Bee Gees are
glad they moved to Britain (00.21); Bee Gees drummer Colin Peterson on flower
power (00.32), Robin Gibb on the incomprehensibility of The Beatles' song 'I
Am The Walrus' (00.38), Maurice Gibb saying how Scottish folk singer Angus
McBrandy will be the biggest thing in the next ten years (00.42), and Julie
Felix talks about how wonderful the Bee Gees are (00.47). Alan Freeman
introduces the Bee Gees, who perform 'Massachusetts' (03.04). Pete Murray
introduces some brief interview clips of celebrities talking about The Monkees
(03.21). Interview clips with Spencer Davis (03.23), Julie Felix (03.32), Dave
Clark (03.50) and Paul Jones (03.57). The Monkees perform 'I'm a Believer'. A
promotional film consisting of film clips from the group's television show
(06.35). Jimmy Savile wishes viewers a happy Boxing Day and introduces The
Rolling Stones, who perform 'Let's Spend The Night Together' (10.40). Freeman
introduces Long John Baldry who performs 'Let The Heartaches Begin, with
pronounced smooching among the audience members to accompany the song (14.10).
Murray introduces Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich, who perform 'Zabadak!'
(18.22). Savile introduces Lulu, who performs 'Love Loves to Love Love'
(20.43). Murray introduces a compilation of brief interview clips with
celebrities talking about flower power (20.43). Brief interview clips with
Julie Felix (21.15), Spencer Davis (21.19), Jimmy Savile (21.26), Peter Noone
(21.28), Cilla Black (21.32), Val Doonican (21.34), Alan Price (21.39), and
Manfred Mann (21.51). Scott McKenzie, 'San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers
in Your Hair)'. McKenzie is heard on the soundtrack only, the song being
accompanied by film clips of hippies in San Francisco, including at a music
concert in a park, and footage of the 'Fourteen Hour Technicolor Dream' held at
Alexandra Palace in April 1967, including a brief shot of John Lennon (24.36).
Freeman introduces dance group The Gojos, comprised of four female dancers
wearing sparkly white hooded dresses and knee-length white boots, who perform
to 'Reflections' by Diana Ross and the Supremes [the group are only heard on
the soundtrack] (27.55). Savile introduces Cliff Richard performing 'All My
Love' (31.15). Murray introduces Procul Harum, who perform 'A Whiter Shade of
Pale' (35.44). Freeman introduces footage of The Beatles performing 'All You
Need Is Love'. McCartney, Lennon and Harrison are sitting on high chairs, while
Starr is on drums in the background. The audience, which includes Mick Jagger
(briefly seen singing along) are sitting cross-legged on the studio floor in
front of the group. Balloons spelling the word L O V E are on the set in the
background. During the latter part of the song, people wearing sandwich boards
bearing the words 'All You Need is Love' in various languages wander among the
audience. The Beatles are accompanied by an orchestra during the performance
(39.35). Savile introduces Engelbert Humperdinck performing 'The Last Waltz',
which includes shots of a waltzing couple superimposed over Humperdinck singing
(43.13). Freeman, Murray and Savile together close the programme (43.30).
Closing credits with the TOP OF THE POPS theme tune, superimposed over some
brief video clips, but accompanied mainly by shots of the audience dancing (45

Notes: All songs were performed in the TOTP studio unless stated otherwise.
Traffic are billed in the 'Radio Times' as appearing on the programme, but they
do not appear.
The Archive also holds a copy of this programme when broadcast on Channel Four
on 31.12.1988 as part of an evening's tribute to Bill Cotton. The programme was
preceded by Cotton talking about how TOP OF THE POPS originated and was
initially recorded in studios in Manchester (1 min. 40 secs). The programme
that followed was a cut version of the above; the missing footage is as
follows. The opening interviews; The interviews about The Monkees. The Monkees
promotional film clip. Long John Baldry. Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
Lulu. The interviews on flower power. The Gojos dance number. Engelbert
Humerdinck. The credits on this transmission were amended to omit the artists
not featured.

Star Turn we have on VHS
Not Only…But Also 20/3/65 we hold – acquired from Museum of Television and Broadcasting
Sorry to say that the 4 Zcars are all linking errors on the Database

Dick Emery Show 19/2/72
Theatre 625: How to get rid of your husband
And Till Death us do part: the phone yes we hold these
The Phone is a BetaSP, duration unknown, not likely to be whole ep, just surviving clip.
Clapperboard – yes we hold all of these 4
Sooty Show – yes all of these. And 19/5/70 is a Thames tx date [features the Skating Meteors if that helps]
Sooty’s Space Ship and All Star Variety are held on film.
I've checked the Muffins made, made by Muffin Syndicate/Derick Williams Productions, so they are not the BBC ones, but later ones made for selling to film shows.
The same is likely to be true of the BBC Sootys, they are remakes made by Corbett to sell on 16mm and a lot of those still survive.
I've asked the BBC if they hold the BBC finds listed here.
BBC say they have the digi of Star Turn, and they have had back a copy of the Not Only.
But they knew nothing about the other BBC finds, they are delighted.
Armchair Theatre - A Voice in the Sky - not listed but may be mis-titled on their system, they are checking; Some Talk of Alexander - held
Play for Today - Man Friday - nothing held

Music Hall – Thames tx dates, yes have all 1969 & 70s dates. On video
NFA say:
"A lot of these have been acquired since the publication of holdings in 1994 - at that time we were taking in big numbers of 2” collections from ITV and BBC - a large part of the cataloguing was undertaken within the Heritage Lottery Project from 2000-2005 which also involved transfers from 2” to digital tape."
BBC say though that most of the missing stuff isn't held by them, so it must have been there pre-1994.
As I thought the ATV stuff was acquired in 1998 from Polygram, when we were told it was wiped.
Re Frank Zappa on OGWT, the NFA hold:
An insert featuring the Frank Zappa interview:
A special edition featuring Frank Zappa, the Mothers of Invention, Jen Luc
Ponty and extracts from Frank Zappa's first film 200 MOTELS.
The BBC have clarified some holdings:
The Expert: A Scientific Fact – yes, but it is a studio recording spool not the complete programme – the original 2” was scratched and junked way back in antiquity. It’s likely the NFA would have the VHS made from this when we transferred the 2” studio spool (we used to do them a spare VHS to send with the master).
Sykes and a Big Big Show: Concorde – yes (this might also be a studio recording – not easy to tell on the exciting new computer system)
As of today Infax was turned off, and Fabric started to come online!
NFA say:
This is... Tom Jones
"NFA just want to confirm that ITV have always had this series, and we do indeed have copies, because we transferred them for Carlton TV under the HLF. ITV should therefore have everything that we have." - I still have a few queries about this though because ITV don't own it any more and indeed keep no material any longer. So I need to check Mr Jones has all the episodes.
NFA say:
Jack Hylton
Would you mind pointing out to Peter Stirling and Raybadrick that the Jack Hylton collection has been well publicised for many years. The book, "Jack Hylton Presents" by Pamela W Logan is still available and apart from the season of programmes and lecture in 1995, there have been many opportunities to see the collection at BFI Southbank since then, as well as viewing some in the mediatheque."
I have still queried the specific enquiry though about VT surviving because that isn't in the book.
More confirmed NFA info:

So it's generally excellent news and I'm very grateful to the NFA for checking so much.
Actually just coz it says they are on tape, don't assume they are VT. They are just transfers onto VT. THis is what they actually hold on that VT:
We have the following World of Beachcomber material:
29/09/69 35mm colour film sequences
06/10/69 16mm telerecording soundtrack only
13/10/69 16mm telerecording soundtrack only
20/10/69 16mm b/w telerecording
That's why every simple query takes an age for us to double-check as we query every query.
EW10 is also a telerercording now held on VT.
NFA say:
ATV Today 10/10/67 we only hold three of these from the 1970s, this is most likely in the Archive of Central England collection.
Q5 31/3/69 we have video dubbed from BBC copy.
