For me personally I'd say the existing 2 minute extract from "The Giant Bombardon" 26.12.53 which despite knowing of it's existance for years I've yet to hear.

There are a few episodes of Blackmail surviving. Something i'd like to see on DVD, along with the 17 or so existing Half Hour Stories! Being Rediffusion though, these series would predictably be hard / expensive to clear. Sigh. Something I've been wondering. Does Victor Lewis-Smith own the rights to the Rediffusion archive or does he merely own the name and logo?

Bernie Andrews returned complete recordings of 'Pop Go The Beatles' numbers 4 + 6-15 Great news. I've often wondered why the full shows didn't survive so it's good that those ones did. His return of the Beatles material led to their use on the 'Live At The BBC' CD in 1994. Oh what! He returned them all that time ago and we've not been allowed to hear the full shows yet? Scandalous! (Assuming that by "full shows" you meant the full 30 min shows rather than just the Beatles' portions.)

There seems to be a lot of 1968/69 Floyd footage circulating from various European TV stations but barely anything from 1967 which is puzzling. Surely all the '67 stuff wasn't wiped?
It's easy enough to look through one of the Pink Floyd books and draw up a list of '67 European footage that should exist, but does anyone have an idea of what definitely does exist?

Could have been newsreel, the entire clip was maybe 5 minutes with some other b&w footage of Sutch(can't remember exactly what) before the song itself.

It was black & white. It was a more ordinary looking concert type video rather than the theatrics of that youtube clip. It wasn't the promo, I've seen that.

I remember watching the General Election coverage sometime in the early 90's probably, and during the coverage they showed an old 60's b&w clip of Sutch singing Jack The Ripper. They showed the song in it's entirety which surprised me, maybe it was early in the evening before the results started coming in thick and fast. I've never seen it since, and it wasn't that youtube clip either.

That's from Radio 4, 19.4.90-10.5.90. I assume the original poster was talking about the series on Radio Luxembourg (2.7.51-x.5.56).

I know of one episode of Dan Dare, recorded with a microphone next to a speaker (sounding like the speaker is in the next room) recorded on reel then recopied numerous times, once via 15/16 ips. It's unlistenable.

A topic that's come up before. Often used in science fiction with aliens receiving our tv broadcasts or more rarely us receiving theirs. Sadly it's just bunk.
One of the space probes that's travelled out as far as Pluto that's sending a signal specifically intended to be received on Earth has a signal so weak that Nasa stopped bothering to try and receive it. If we can't receive a signal from the edge of our solar system that's specifically intended to be broadcast over long distances then the accidental stray signals from tv broadcasts will stand no chance, that's assuming they ever left Earth in the first place.

The 1967 TOTP extracts were interesting. Did you see the clip of Pink Floyd - "See Emily Play"? Can you describe it, what was the quality like, was it the complete song or a fragment, etc...

I would also like to know what happened to some of the other artists performances on The Beatles or Saturday Club shows. Yes, plus I'd like to know if any complete "Pop Go The Beatles" shows exist either in the BBC archives or elsewhere. It'd be nice to be able to hear the full shows with the other groups that were on the show. All we have are approx 15 to 18 minutes of clips cobbled together for each show. I find it hard to believe that nobody recorded any full shows.

In music lessons in the 70's we always had these little booklets with the songs in to accompany a reel-to-reel they'd play us. I remember the narrator always seemed to be some guy called Geoffrey Wheeler. Are those the ones?

Does anyone know if INFAX will ever be back online. It was a useful resource... while it lasted.
