Peter, if you just click on Chris's name (which should be highlighted in blue), it'll bring you an option to send him a PM (personal message).

Two other series I have kept are Pennywise and Do-it-Herself. Both presented by two Scottish women, and featuring such money-spinning gems as how to make a lamp out of a brick. Every bit as (unintentionally) camp as Houseparty, and mercilessly lampooned by Victoria Wood in one of her TV show. I remember remember a daytime DIY show in the early 1980s, was that Do It Herself? The presenters were 2 middle aged women & the theme sounded at bit like Fame. That Victoria Wood sketch is very funny, see seemed to have watched a lot of early 1980s daytime TV.

Talking of DIY shows, I can remember Toolbox with Mike Smith (?) in the early '70s. I wonder if any of those exist? I'm not sure who produced the programme. Before that, Barry Bucknell used to present a DIY show for the BBC. It might actually have been called Do It Yourself.

Ah that what it was called? yes made by Grampian television with two very enthusiastic middle aged women in bloke overalls and hard hats talking about the importance of covering up your damp patches. Mike Smith and Toolbox I think was featured on one of those 'television nightmares' type programmes. One of those people you wander what happened to?

There are some extant Barry Bucknall clips used in a couple of existing shows at the Beeb.

Mike Smith's shows were produced by YTV.

Mike Smith's shows went into myth and legend that his shelves and stuff use to fall down and his drills use to break -things like that. I don't recall that myself

After the age of eleven - 1972 onwards - I was brought up in East Preston in West Sussex. Daphne Lee one of the regulars on Houseparty also lived in the same village. Quite a commute in those days from East Preston to the studios in Southampton. Funny the things you remember as a kid. Also watched the programme numerous times as a teenager only because there was nothing else to watch on the telly in those days at that time of the early afternoon. That's how bored we were!

There is one surviving programme of Barry Bucknell's series 'Bucknell's House', from 1962, still on original videotape! - I know, there never seems to be a reason why some odd 405's survive when most were wiped. It's also shot on location on VT (well, in the house at least), so the house must have been near one of the studios. Hope that helps, Davidx

John: They are from the much later Meridian programme (incorrectly labelled Southern TV on YouTube). A bit beyond my sphere of interest but as they were made in 1993-95 I'm guessing they aren't missing. Tim: If you are still in contact with the person perhaps you could persuade him to get in touch with Kaleidoscope about preserving the material. I've recently discovered a champion of all things Southern in the person of Radio Solent presenter Alex Dyke. His phone-in discussion about Houseparty a week or two ago got a lot of listener response, including calls from participant Mim Summers and a gentleman who had been the boom operator on the programme. (Alex also had a similar phone-in discussion about "Out of Town" recently). Interestingly the Facebook announcement about December's "Missing Believed Wiped" event at the BFI is illustrated with a shot of the Houseparty set.
