Back in 2013 I'd heard there was an audio tape of a great Scottish band called Beggar's Opera playing live on Grampian TV. This was confirmed by the group's website and.... that was that.
Ten Years Later (not the band....) I do a bit of web-surfing and it transpires that the tape was uploaded to youtube on Xmas Day last year. Holy Schmokes! This has been uploaded by the band's own website as well. (Also thanks for the namecheck!) So, what was the show. It appears to be Grampian's Sounds '73 which is otherwise completely missing. The edition is question is most likely to be 03/08/1973.
I would also like to thank William McGregor for his assistance with the history behind this discovery. (Thank you for the recognition Ray !) ...

Brush with fame on television The group garnered a loyal following and regularly played to sell-out audiences, which singer and keyboard player Alan believes was down to their rockier sound.
While many local bands played pop covers, Jolson were influenced by Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Status Quo.
Jolson appeared on Sounds ’73 in August 1973. Image: DC Thomson Jolson went from strength to strength, and in August 1973 enjoyed a star turn on the silver screen with an appearance on Grampian TV’s “Sounds ’73”.
The format of Sounds ’73, filmed at Grampian TV’s Queen’s Road studio, was to feature an up-and-coming band alongside a well-known artist.
Jolson were the rising stars, and the established band was none other than Marsha Hunt’s 22.

Give Me Your Answer Do (STV Quiz show 1969)It is not listed on TV Brain Kaleidoscope, so currently not known if any episodes exist. Does anyone know or can they find out how episodes there were please? Directed by Douglas Moodie Production company(s) Scottish Television Release Original channel Scottish Television Picture format 4:3 B&W Original release 7 January 1969 Give Me Your Answer Do was a quiz show hosted by Bill Tennent, broadcast on STV on Tuesday evenings (6.35–7.5pm) from 7 January 1969. Synopsis The first new give-away quiz programme to take the air since ITV swept the board clean last September. There is one brand new feature however, in that the questions are put directly to viewers at home — there are no studio contestants and no giant-sized jackpot give-aways. But a display of observation and general knowledge on your part might win you a fiver through the post. Have pencil and paper ready for the "trial run" at the start of this first programme and then use the special entry form on Page 54 for the competition that follows. Questions and research: Bob Crampsey. Designer: Neil Parkinson. Director: Douglas Moodie. Preview Fast becoming a kind of national inter-family rivalry, it's an unusual quiz game aimed at you, the viewers, not any studio audience. It's the first new give-away game on the air since last September when ITV cleaned them all out. But no big prizes are at stake. And this is deliberate. In a TV Times preview of the series, Bill Tennent explained: We've gone right back to the basics of television. Ours is a family show, catering exclusively for the family — nobody in the studio, no monster gifts. Just entertainment. We've had spectaculars, and spectacular-spectaculars. So much glitter and high speed glamour that you feel bombarded by the showmanship, even though it is first class talent and so on. The idea behind Give Me Your Answer Do is just the opposite. We are getting letters in from families who are all taking part — Dad competes with Mum, Gran fancies herself against her teenage grandson. This is exactly what we had in mind. All we're asking viewers to do is relax after their evening meal and we'll provide them with a bit of fun. I know I find it a lot of fun. Research and the setting of the questions was done by Bob Crampsey, a former 'Brain of Britain' researcher and resident egg-head around STV. He believed that anyone of average intelligence should get more than half the questions right. The fun of the show was that what seemed easy to one member of the family could catch somebody else out. For example, any film fan could tell you the stars of Gone With the Wind, but could he or she name the famous house which plays such an important part in the picture and has a piece of theme music called after it? Every week, Tennent used up 14 questions in the show. Illustrating them was a vital part of the game. Like the shot of the silver salver he used to carry in a kipper! Tennent added: We're not trying to set the heather on fire. Just give folk a little programme of their own for Tuesday nights. What do the dishes matter for a few minutes? We want people to relax after the evening meal. We're out for a bit of fun. Try it yourself...[1] References ↑ Alex Dickson, 'It's fun — as Gran bids to beat junior', TV Times (Central Sco Attachments:

And ... The Moody Blues did indeed sing ( Nights in White Satin) on French TV (Trying to find out which show it was but see below) ... TILT from 26-04-1967 Thinking about the date you mentioned Dave ... (Surely that would would be way too early for the song ?) I think it's more inclined to be the 28th February 1968 as per 2 websites I've looked at. Cheers William
