Any information anyone can give me on the archive status of these shows I would be grateful of.

My regards,

[Curious Richard]

Any idea what the date or the content of these missing 'Dee Times' might be? I'm currently in the middle writing a book on Simon Dee, so this discovery could prove to be vitally useful. I can be contacted via [e-mail] I'm sure that my new friend Louis Barfe would be equally interested, too.

Thanks in advance,

Richard

[Ted Rogers]

Brilliant!! THis guy was SOME collector!

[Paul Vanezis]

ok.

Well, the only Dee Time I made a note of was '13/01/68', I guess because Tony Hancock was a guest on it.

I'll obviously check and see what else there is next week sometime.

The only 'All Gas and Gaiters' I noted was the 22/01/69, which according to Ted is missing.

Obviously I'll check this against what the BBC holds, but clearly there's a lot here.

Yes, the gentleman concerned recorded a lot, but he had an interest and is himself a personality, so when I can eventually say who he is I don't think many will be surprised.

That said, his methods were a little heath robinson. We'll see what they sound like soon; I haven't actually heard anything as yet.

Cheers,

Paul

What a remarkable collection. Once again, well done on such a brilliant find. August 2005 has proved to be a great month for recoveries.

Hope the sound quality, turns out to be respectable...

BTW, Dennis Main Wilson, was said to have had a collection... But I'd be suprised, if he ever had the time, to do this amount... And maybe, not quite a 'personality', in the way you might mean, Paul.

Golden Rose Edition.

7-9-68 to 12-10-68 is the repeat run of Series 1 - only shows 2 and 5 exist at the Beeb, although a couple of other sketches also survive in vision. Audio recordings of most of the rest of Series 1 were known to exist already, but they were missing a few visual sketches, and were recorded from Australian TV and therefore from 16mm.

9/12/68 is Series 2, Show 1; all of Series 2 exists, although one episode (#3) is on 16mm. The 19/3/69 episode is a repeat of Series 2, Show 2.

The Montreux edition was TX'ed on 17/3/69 with a repeat on 16/4/69.
