Several friends have reported that the Network on Air website is down - I had a look and it states "Account Suspended " does anyone know what's happening with the company ?

Came across this channel today that has relatively recently posted a number of clips from the Pop's that I have either
not seen since broadcast or in a couple of cases only rarely
Possibly sourced from the PVL collection - They do look like home recordings - A few examples below
Olivia Newton John - I Honestly Love You
Lulu - The Man with the Golden Gun
Leo Sayer - Long Tall Glasses
The Rubettes - Juke Box Jive

Looking through the career of the legend that was the late Barrie Humphries I am saddened that the 1970 BBC2 show Barry Humphries Scandals seems to be missing from the archives and their is scant information about it on the web. Apparently wasn't even screened in Australia, from what I have read it was a type of sketch show with Barrie adopting various characters - surely there must be filmed inserts in existence ? I found a radio times article printed when the show was launched that gives some idea of the show's structure (I uploaded the photo's to the IMDB page as the entry had nothing)

It seems that there are a number of series and shows that frustratingly exist in the archives, but are prevented from any kind of release due to either missing paperwork, legal issues or physically not being digitally transferred. One of my missions to get some answers on is The Hippodrome Show (1966) which at one time there were colour and black and white tape editions and it seems both versions still exist ! The black & white copies I have on good authority reside at the BFI undigitised,with the rights holders being Archbold, whilst the colour tapes are under the management of Reeling in the Years in the states. Then there is the ridiculous situation with the TVS library,the Rediffusion and Channel 4 archive shambles. I'm sure there are many more stuck in limbo.....

Probably the cleanest version you have ever seen of TOTPs Del Shannon's keep searching. Barry Grey's YT channel has other obscure quality clips. And Brian Poole and the Tremeloes is great quality !

Some great guests on there, Steve Martin in a very early appearance, Cass Elliot, The Guess Who and several excellent performances from Lulu! That bear gives me Nightmares though 😀

21/09/1967 THE HOLLIES – King Midas In Reverse ....which leads me to this. Again the old miming ban precluded the earlier stuff, and I went for this as I'd love to see how they performed it.
I was a bit surprised with how few selections I'd made from 1967. I'm blaming big ballads and the first appearance of existing shows.[/quote]
Am I right in thinking there is no footage of King Midas being performed in existance ?

Anybody know the show or where the footage surfaced from ?

So sad to hear of her passing, another star who was always around whilst I was growing up and always a pleasure to watch.
