I've started this thread as a place for people to post any news of recovered TV over the period of 2008. if any body has any confirmed information perhaps they can post it here as I'm sure there are a great deal of people who would be interested. good hunting

cash is a big incentive, if i won the lottery id put adverts in the press offering the public rewards for anything recovered. bet that would soon get a few beta maxs dusted off in lofts

i think the best hope of recovering missing TV is still with the general public. There are still a large % of the population who have no idea that early TV programs are missing. whats really needed is an on going campaign in the media via newspapers, radio and TV and contact with various groups via their relevant magazines (eg saga, the WI etc) to inform them that they could have a missing gem in there loft. The recent tv retrospectives on Swap shop and Tiswas both relied quite heavily on viewers home recordings as the original tapes had been wiped. It is quite likely that further shows are out there, especially if people saved a tape due to an appearance by a member of the family on a program. The biggest problem here is time, not only because of the potential deterioration of the tapes but mainly due to the threat of recordings being thrown out by the uninformed as they think they are no longer interesting or of an obsolete format. typically when an older relative dies, it is possible that a member of the family may just bin an entire collection of beta max tapes just because they are out of date!. the main thing as ive stated before is to increase public awareness of missing TV so that even if people are not in possession of something interesting now they may stop and think if they find something interesting in the loft or at car boot in the future.

i wonder how many tapes in the archives have been checked to see if bits of programs survive at the end of a tape that has been reused to tape another show at a later date

if you click on his profile, you will see his last login to this site was when he dropped the hint about the missing episodes. it would appear he enjoyed the idea of dropping a bombshell on this site and then 'doing a runner'. sad
