How did the Sandy Shaw and The Seekers rehearsal clips survive from this edition, they appear to be on film. Our old friend Mr Bob Pratt. God bless Bob Pratt!

I saw it today. It's not for the seasoned Beatlemaniac, and most of us have seen 95% of the footage. It has its faults (some of the talking heads/shaky colourisation), and yet I think the brief was to appeal to the neophyte/casual fan/newbie than to pander to the enthusiast. If one can suspend one's fanaticism, it's a great, enjoyable film - if slightly lightweight. Plus points for the fanatic are the home movies for Hammersmith '65 and the new material for Candlestick Park. Agreed. The "new" interview bits of John from 1972 were nice to see to.

There was a column called "Playboy After Dark" in the magazine, but it was unrelated to the TV show. The earlier show (from the late-50s/early-60s) was "Playboy's Penthouse" which I was too young to catch at the time. The "Playboy After Dark" show was the epitome of cool. I'd watch it thinking that this is what really happens at "cool, hip, swinging" parties (that I was too young to attend). Of course it was unrealistic since no one was smoking pot! Little did I know that the non-celebrity guests were all paid extras, and that it was not a real party. The cable Playboy Channel used to show re-runs in the 80s. I was able to tape a few of those. There is a cool bootleg DVD that compiles all of the great rock performances from that series. Aside from the music, there were several great comedians on there, as well as other U.S. personalities. And, of course, Hef always had a super-hot-girl on his arm.

Hi Steve, Yes it was a great show. I used to stay up late to watch it on a little black and white TV. With commercials, each episode ran 60 minutes.

I expect they'll be showing the upgraded Bonzos "Mr. Apollo" from "Colour Me Pop" clip I returned to BBC earlier this year. Wish I could go!
Does anyone know who the guest(s) were on the Frost On Saturday that is scheduled to be shown?

I thought the highlight was the quick clip from the Hammersmith Odeon 1965.

Hi Shelley, Jimmy Savile was the presenter, also on the programme... So even if it still existed, no-one would ever be allowed to see this one again! Actually, the Bonzo and Peel segments do still exist. And I suspect the Stones segment is the one that floats around, but possibly misidentified as Top of the Pops?

I just wanted to chime in and say, as an American, this discussion is fascinating. I only wish I grew up watching the TV shows mentioned.

In that case, yes, we need Mr Whitehead to open his vaults :-)

Interesting lengthy and candid interview.. seems a bit ahead of it's time. Anyone know what it was filmed for? youtu.be/Erqj_mCk9r8 It could be from 'Charlie is my Darling' from one of Pete Whitehead's garage stash of films? "Charlie" was black and white, and shot in 1965. Does anyone recognize the voice of the interviewer?
