I'm looking forward to watching the 60's episodes. It's a shame there is so few surviving from the decade. A mere 6 out of the approximately 250 broadcast.
Overall, just over 7% of Dixon exists which is paltry in comparison that with the other BBC police series of the time-roughly 40% of Z Cars and 70% of Softly Softly survives.

This is very welcome news. Just over 20 years ago, only 2 complete episodes of the first run existed in the archives.
Sadly, with the demise of Network, the chances of a commercial release on DVD are extremely remote. Hopefully BBC4 will show them at some point.

Many of the C.C. DVDs are very expensive on the pre-loved market. This might put a dent in things! Volumes 1, 2, 4 and 5 are all available new for around £15 each from a popular online retailer.

Two songs from this edition were later covered by Bananarama.

The Big Match from 15/11 & 22/11/69 both exist. The main matches covered by LWT were broadcast in colour but the highlights from some of the other regions were still in black and white.

Does this mean that all of Cooper's extant ITV shows are now available on DVD?

The above list, as it stands, at present, does not have any British television appearance with The Yardbirds singing For Your Love, which was released on 5 March 1965. Hard to believe, so the above list is possibly incomplete? There is a feature in this month's Uncut magazine on the making of For Your Love. Graham Gouldman(who wrote the song) mentions watching them perform the song on Top Of The Pops. Needless to say Eric Clapton wasn't interviewed for the piece!

I note from Lost Shows that there are only 3 missing episodes of this series out of the 20 broadcast albeit one survives on a domestic recording.
Does this mean that the only ITV shows which haven't been released on DVD are the 14 programmes Tommy did for LWT? They all exist and are still repeated today but any idea why they haven't been released on DVD?

I've just listened to a Tony Blackburn show from 1970 and he absolutely hammers "Down the Dustpipe" by Status Quo basically saying what a load of rubbish that is don't like that at all. I can remember a show back in 1973 where he played "Bad Bad Boy" by Nazareth and it was the same there. I know everyone has their own opinions as to what music they like and fair enough i certainly know what Tony doesn't like. He certainly makes it quite clear which records he doesn't like! He was still making snide remarks about any rock records he had to play in Pick Of the Pops. He's not a fan of Dylan either. However, I do miss his silly intros to the records. Blackburn on Sounds Of the Sixties is a square peg in a round hole. As Tony Walshaw said in an earlier post, it would be the perfect vehicle for Paul Gambaccini. I think he does a decent job on POTP but I feel he tries to fit in too many facts between the records. He continually refers to how records performed in the Billboard charts which I find slightly annoying. The style of the show is fast paced so I don't need to know much other than if the record went up or down from the previous week. Sounds of the Sixties is far more relaxed and he would have the time between records impart his substantial knowledge to the listener.

I wouldn't be surprised if some episodes were still in archives in Germany or Austria. They bought the series very early on. Those episodes would be dubbed, but that isn't such a problem. The poster of the Sex Before Marriage clip on You Tube states that the entire episode exists in the hands of a private collector.

Welcome to the forum Jack. This confirms that approximately the last 6 minutes of The Puppy remains and Aunt Maud is missing the first couple of minutes. Incidentally, the poster has advised that The Phone will be uploaded over the next few days. Also, State Visit is also on You Tube in good quality: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMamLbD8iAc

Missing Till Death episodes are still coming in. I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are found eventually. Maybe the DVD people are waiting to see what else turns up? I think it's more likely that the 1970s colour sets they released don't seem to have sold particularly well (even by Network's standards, which seem quite modest) and they gave up after the first two series (two more remain unreleased). I found "In Sickness" generally better that the 1970s colour ones myself - I thought the show went downhill for the 1970s ones. I would be surprised if the sales of the DVDs were poor enough to cancel plans for the other two series to be released. Would they really have been less than the likes of Keep It In the Family or You're Only Young Twice which have both now be issued complete(5 and 4 series respectively)? My understanding is that rights issues prevented any further releases.

The Missing Episodes Index on the main page has already been updated following the discovery of Intolerance. It also notes the orphaned clips from the Late Night Line Up show:
Sex Before Marriage (the decorating clip) A Wapping Mythology (Duke of Windsor picture) Aunt Maud (the God/pestilence clip)
According to Wikipedia, there is a sequence existing from The Bulldog Breed but the source is not mentioned.
A DVD collection of the 60's material would contain 11 episodes. A far better state of affairs now compared with the mid 90's when I believe only A House with Love In It and The Blood Donor existed in the archives.
