Sorry if this is O/T (and please delete if it is) I remembered I had a Dr Who skit from a 1968 edition of "Tarbuck's Back" recorded off-air on a Sony CV-2000. It also gives up hope that there may be other vintage tapes surviving from then. Apologies that I don't have a youtube account, so this is loaded on my facebook account, and the privacy of the clip has been set to "public" so you should all be able to see it. Move to 2:00 to see the Dr Who item. www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10151321221916156&saved#!/photo.php?v=10151321221916156 |

What about "Doctor Who and his amazing time trousers" skit from ISIRTA (must be circa 1965).Does that still exist?

Thanks for sharing. It is always interesting to see off air recordings of this vintage.
Did you record anything else interesting at the time?

Yes, thanks for sharing that. In fact, there's a 1964 (?) sketch from Its a Square World on the forthcoming Aztecs DVD which features Clive Dunn as the Doctor.
Just out of interest, is this your own recording..?

They are not my recordings (they're before I was born) - I acquired the machine and about ten reels from a couple of old spinsters who were huge Frank Ifield and Jimmy Tarbuck fans. They leant the machine to the Sony Centre in Brighton for a window display. I transfered the tapes to VHS for them and they let me keep the machine.
They had kept TX dates of the programmes they kept, ironically one of the shows one tape was on at the same time as one ep from Fury from the Deep!

Living in hope that more missing episodes will come back to us.

I wonder whether the adverts still exist anywhere else.
Or any continuity announcements that might be on there.
(Nice to hear from you again, BTW).

The Electric Time Trousers ran from 12 January to 6 April 1969, in Series 6 of ISIRTA. However in Series 1, broadcast 29 November 1965 they did a play called Dr Why and the Thing. All 105 episodes from this series exist (I helped in recovering the last missing episode in 2004). Doctor Who has been spoofed a couple of other times on the show; I can't remember the episode but there was a crossword type quiz show in which the question was 'Much loved working-class family from BBC sitcom'. The answer was, of course, the Daleks. |

Hi Stephen,
Have copies of these off-air recordings been returned to ITV, or has Kaleidoscope been involved with making sure they are saved for posterity? You probably have lost material there.

Think Tarby himself would be interested?
Anyone know the archive status of his 1968 series?

There were a number of Dr Who sketches on Crackerjack. I recall seeing Daleks on there on at least two occasions in the mid-sixties. Two Daleks apeared during one sketch, possibly just one in the other. If they used the regular operators then John Scott Martins royalty payments may provide dates.
Another I remember featured Peter Glaze and Leslie Crowther dressed up in wigs and baggy trousers performing a song that went along the lines of "I'm the old Doctor Who..." "And I'm the new Doctor Who...." I have a feeling this was from the start of Pertwees era but it may date to around the time of `Power of the Daleks.' I am aware of the poor status of Crackerjack so these will be long lost.

There's also apparently a sketch/spoof from the first episode of Round The Horne from 1965, which I'm about to start listening to when I've finished going through my I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again marathon.
