I think the Terry Scott cameo that you're referring to is one where he played a union official in At Your Convenience. There are some pictures of the relevant scene in one of Robert Ross' books but the footage as Dean says is sadly long gone.

It was very easy to find out using imdb and the main page of this site.
Kanner appeared in 9 episodes, 2 of which survive:
26/1/1966 It Doesn't Grow on Trees(First 25 minutes only according to Wikipedia) 30/3/1966 A-Z
Wikipedia also states that he claimed he left because he didn't want to be typecast.

Incidentally I have a friend born in the early/mid 1970s who has never found Eric & Ernie funny so I wonder if it is partly an age thing? I was born in the early/mid 70s and whilst I'm not a diehard fan, I've found most of their routines funny. A friend of mine who is a few years younger recently asked for a loan of my Fawlty Towers box set after he watched a documentary on Dave. I was convinced he would love it as our taste in comedy is very similar. He watched the first series and said it was funny at times but very overrated. I think it's just a matter of taste rather than an age thing.

The video is well worth tracking down Ray. There's footage of over 40 Saints games from 1966-91 and starts off with a win at Elland Road over Leeds.
The 3-1 win for Saints over the same opposition in 1969/70 isn't included and I have heard that this might be one of the few MOTD's not to survive.
While we're on the subject, there's a Dvd currently available which includes a 4-1 over Man United for Saints at Old Trafford. See David's link for further details.

I can't give you a definitive answer either on the Newport game you refer to or the archive status of all the regional games shown that season.
However, several of these "second" games were included in the BBC videos that were released in the late eighties and early 90's.
Here is a short list off the top of my head:
9/8/69 Leeds v Spurs 30/8/69 Coventry v Wolves 30/8/69 Swindon v Charlton 20/9/69 Man City v Coventry 27/9/69 Spurs v Sunderland 4/10/69 Southampton v Spurs 15/11/69 Derby v Sunderland 06/12/69 Notts Forest v Sheffield Wednesday 13/12/69 West Ham v Everton 31/1/70 Spurs v Southampton

I've dug out the video. There's a minute or so of colour film footage of the game. There's no original commentary-just John Motson talking about Leeds' quest for 4 trophies each season.
I'm sure I've seen B&W Pathe news footage also but never the ATV footage with Hugh Johns.

There are more DVD's coming out soon for QPR, Everton and Aston Villa. In addition, there are plans for Big Match review of the season DVD's later in the year for the 1969/70-1982/83 period. I've got my fingers crossed for Leeds too as well as Forest, Wolves,Coventry, Stoke and a few others.
There's also a Liverpool one from the same series available now under the "Match of The Seventies" title.
As far as the archives go, The Big Match itself survives pretty much intact from 1969/70 on. The regional programmes shown in Anglia, Yorkshire and Granada are also pretty well served in the archives. Pretty much like these stations general archive.
Similarly, unfortunately ATV's Star Soccer has very few full programmes in existance. However, on most occasions, highlights of the games they broadcast were shown on other stations. Judging by my own collection, at least the goals and/or brief highlights will exist for a great majority of their output.
I know there are also missing games for Tyne Tees but I can't speak for the smaller stations-Southern, Westward and HTV.
For the BBC, apart for a couple of exceptions, at least the goals and brief highlights will exist for their output on MOTD from the outset. Again i'm going by my own collection (I've got all the club releases that they did from the 90's).
As far as the colour footage is concerned, I believe many shows exist in full as b&w telerecordings. I believe it's copies of these that have been sent to SKY and ESPN which have shown several classic matches over the years. However, in each case that i'm aware of there is footage of the goals in colour in the archive.
The only exception to this is a game between Ipswich & West Ham from 1975 which is on Ipswich's MOTD video.
Nick, if you are as passionate about I am about 70's football (and Steve Williams appears to be too) and are looking for old footage, those DVD's are a great place to start. If you are looking for more, there are loads of now deleted videos available on the net. E-asy enough to find, shall we say!

That was Nicky Campbell on 5 Live.
Ulrika announced on one forecast "Snow continues to fall across the country.. I had 8 inches last night!"

It was Johnners-although the bowler might have been Holding the batsman's Willey. I would date that in the early 80's. Then off course there's the legendary "Botham didn't quite get his leg over" where Johnners stuggles to read the West Indian scorecard after getting a severe fit of the giggles.
I think on reflection my original post re Fanny Craddock was a bit cryptic. I didn't want to lower the tone... Apologies too about my spelling of "doughnuts".

Can anyone confirm the name of the show and the broadcast date when the infamous line was uttered?
I know that it was an STV show in the 70's hosted by the late Bill Tennent. You can work out for yourselves The Sun's headline which announced his death a few years ago.
I would guess that it doesn't exist-can anyone confirm this as well?

Yes, as surviving live clips from the mid 60s prove, they were a great live band. I missed out on that Blackpool show last year thanks to family problems and I regret not seeing it. It is great DDDBMT eventually reformed in their original line up when it was possible - not many 60s bands left who could claim all the original members. Heartening too last years compilation sold well enough to enter the album charts. Let's face it, pop doesn't get more memorable than "Xanadu"! Amazing single back in 68 and still sounds superb 41 years on. They will never be forgotten! Unfortunately it wasn't the original line up. The original "Mick" left in 1973 and the original "Beaky" left in the late 80's. As far as the possibility of 60's groups reuniting with all their original members, I can only think of a handful. The likelihood of most of the coming back together is remote: The Walker Brothers-I'm sure John and Gary would do it. No chance of Scott though. The Monkees-Nesmith won't even talk about them anymore. Status Quo-Doubt if Alan Lancaster wouldn't be welcome. The Kinks-possible but wouldn't hold my breath. Fleetwood Mac The Hollies-Allan Clarke has retired. Cream-Ginger and Jack don't get on. Crosby, Stills and Nash-The best hope I think.

Very sorry to hear he's passed away after a short illness. I first saw The Prisoner in about 1993 on Channel 4 and loved it immediately.
I was disappointed that his death didn't merit a mention on the BBC 6 o'clock news yet the possible transfer of a Brazilian footballer to an English club did.
