Returned TOTP Footage?

Question for KAL here....

With the impending 50th Anniversary of TOTP creeping up i was wondering when KAL intend returning the Ian Levine footage and anything else that has been located over the last 2 years to the BBC for possible inclusion in any 'specials' that they may or not make for the anniversary.

BBC have back anything of ours that they want mate.

The hard part is getting them to ask us! lol

What they prefer doing now is marking a location on Infax to say we have a copy, so programme makers come direct to us.

In the case of the incomplete Levine episode, they have had a copy for some time.

1500 transfers are considerably below HD quality so broadcasters don't always chase copies up for their own archive.

Thanks Chris

It would appear there's a lack of appetite from the BBC side to do anything with the recovered material then, as the distinct lack of any TOTP2 programmes this year would prove.
