... and sadly likely to stay there being a nightmare (and hugely costly) to clear for a DVD release due to the masses of third party clips rights containined therein ... not unlike Thames 'Hollywood' 1980 documentary series which Network forlornly tried to clear a few years back.
Thinking about it, it's probably the same reason that Denis Nordern's 'It'll be Alright on the Night' has never made it to DVD either.

On Roobarb,Billy Smart reports that "Series 6 04.07.1968 S... For Sugar A... For Apple M... For Missing," is not missing,and that Lostshows has been updated to acknowledge this. So only four missing. I don't think lostshows exists anymore. It has been replaced by the (free part) of TV Brain www.tvbrain.info/

There are a few existing colour ones that did not make the three volumes so far released. I thought there was only one surviving colour episode not included on the Dixon DVDs ... 'Molenzicht' (1 Jan 1972). Which other existing colour episodes were not included?

To confuse things further, i do know that certain episodes of the muppet show aired over here in the 80's as color kine's Not too surprising. ATV often produced PAL sales tapes and NTSC sales tapes and also film recordings (sometimes in colour, usually from the PAL master) for their "international" videotaped programmes, to cover all bases for marketing across the globe by the two ITC distribution companies based in London and New York. 'The Muppet Show' would certainly be one of those programmes .. another example was (Brian Clemens) 'Thriller'. Australia were sometimes supplied with film copies in the 1970s due to the rural/outback station requirements at the time.

With the Julie Andrews Hour I think with filmed entirely in NTSC- Julie had a bigger following in the States than in the UK and so UK viewers had to put up with 2nd generation conversions.. I read that the Julie Andrews Hour was taped in the US, not England. Yes, the weekly Julie Andrews Hour was taped at ABC studios in Hollywood, now the Prospect Studios. However the five Julie Andrews specials that followed cancellation of the series (in Sesame Street/Christmas/Julie and Jackie/Julie and Dick in Covent Garden/My Favourite Things) were taped at ATV Elstree simulataneously in NTSC and PAL.

The two large studios at ATV Elstree - C and D - were equipped for simulataneous recording in both NTSC and PAL from the studio camera output, from the end of the 60s onwards, at about the time colour arrived (the only British studios so equipped at the time). So for shows like 'The Julie Andrews Hour' - 1972- conversions were not necesary nor was recording twice or using different cameras simultaneously as had been done in the 1960s - there was a PAL master and an NTSC master ... with the video tape numbers having /PAL or /NTSC added to the end of the tape number.
The British Film and Television Yearbook of 1969 gives the details (Page 487).
As an example of the two masters, the 'Thriller' episode 'Sleepwalker' has the tape numbers 1788/76/NTSC for the US and 1788/76/PAL for the UK ... source Kaleidoscope Publishing.
Often the two tapes would be different edits, with the US programmes structured for many more advert breaks and carry end titles listing 'For ITC Wide World Distribution' after 'An ATV Colour Production'. The NTSC tapes would not have the ATV zoom ident or endboard, but the 'spinning diamonds' ITC Presents/ITC Production variants.

Yes. As detailed in some detail towards the end of the "Native Hue of Resolution" documentary that screened at BFI Southbank "Missing Believed Wiped 20th Anniversary" a couple of years ago and then got a limited Kickstarter funded release on a Farcial Films/Kaleidoscope DVD.

- tho' I didn't spot 'Are You Being Served ?' (maybe next week) - "Are You Being Served?" wasn't a Croft/Perry sitcom, so won't be referenced in this series.

Live streamed performances are often the norm (and more expensive for the customer). But these performances are/can be recorded and then screened at a later date elsewhere or indeed again at the same venue. Depends on the contract with e.g. the RSC, National Theatre, Covent Garden Opera House (all three of which have permanent TV facilities) or some other performance from an arena or theatre using hired in equipment.

How any history of British game shows can completely ignore Double Your Money, Take Your Pick etc... The first episode mostly covered GAME shows (including some quasi Quiz-Game show overlaps). Those two above were QUIZ shows. The programme clearly said that next week's episode covers quiz shows, I'd expect them to be mentioned then or in a later installment. If yesterday's episode was to plug "Celebrity Squares" that would be strange as it was only covered the revival for about 1.5 mins of the 45 mins or so of the whole show and in context with modern revivals of other shows. There was much more footage of 3-2-1 and The Generation Game .. was ITV plugging those for some reason?

Hi all I thought BBC and ITV went from 1" to D3 in the early part of the decade The BBC and Thames went to D3 from 1". The post 1992 francise ITV companies generally went for D2 .. Granada, LWT, Yorkshire, Central and Anglia amongst them
