Based on archive.org the tutorials seem to be behind a wikispaces login. I think that's just because the tutorials page was never actually created. If you look at some of the earlier captures you see this: linkI was a member of the Colour Recovery Working Group and looked at the website a lot. I'm reasonably sure nothing was created for the Tutorials page.

I'm partly going from memory and partly from archive.org, but I don't think there was ever anything in the tutorials section of the website.

I saw what I have always thought, up until this point, was a trailer for Day Of The Daleks. I guess it must have been the Radio Times trailer, but I have no memory of the Radio Times being mentioned, and I remember it as a trailer for the programme. Obviously it was a long time ago though. I think I would have most likely seen it at the end of Childrens' programming on BBC1 before the news, but of course I could be wrong about that.

The long lost "Marvin and Tammy" show where the VU appear and perform the never-released "Guess I'm Falling I Love" There's an instrumental take on "Another VU", my guess is that this was the backing track for the TV appearance, and the vocals were performed 'as-live'. Lost? Never to be found? A member of the VU forum found this the other day, which, remarkably, has been on youtube since 2014, and is now generating some discussion. It seems pretty plausible that it really is the audio of the band's performance on Upbeat. link

I watched a recording of the BBC coverage of the moon landing in my local school hall on a CV2000 the morning after the landing in 69. Weren't the BBC pretty much rerunning the coverage on a loop that morning though?

Bang on Richard, I remember watching The Man Trap, the first UK broadcast episode of Star Trek & it being mind blowingly good in comparison to a lot of what was on. To be pedantic, the first UK broadcast episode of Star Trek was "Where No Man Has Gone Before" on July 12 1969. I remember watching it, thinking it was going to be part of the coverage of the Apollo 11 moon mission.

The notion that the Power clip used on the 29 January 1971 Ask Aspel is from Episode 2 is because that's what the Programme-as-Broadcast sheet for the edition indicates, although they're not always 100% accurate. It was followed by a clip of the Auton Daffodil Men from Episode 4 of Terror of the Autons. I know it was a long time ago, but I am certain the PASB is wrong in this case. It was essentially or entirely the same episode 4 sequence of Power as one of the ones that was rediscovered in 2005 ("Dalek <N> complete", etc.) It made quite a big impact on myself and my friend who was watching it with me, and I also remember my friend re-enacting the Dalek lines after the programme.

Thats interesting! do we know why footage was used? was there a special guest? I just got the information from BroaDWcast. As far as I know, there wasn't a special guest. Maybe a viewer who saw Power on its original transmission requested that they show a clip? I saw the Ask Aspel programme in question at the time, and I've posted here before about the Power footage used. It was from episode 4 of Power, not episode 2, and it was largely or, quite probably, entirely footage that still survives from other sources. The context of its use was viewers writing in about the current series - one complaining about "the Master and his plastic toys", if I recall correctly, which lead to a clip from "Terror Of The Autons", and another's letter saying "bring back the Daleks", which lead to the Power clip.

Unfortunately the 3rd series episode "The Ascent of Mount Everest" doesn't survive. May be confusion with the latter part of the 4th series episode "The Ghastly Experiments of Dr Hans Eidelberger". I've got "Monkey's Paw" and "Bearded Vulture" - not sure what you want to know about them... Ah, thanks. Somebody seems to be bootlegging that part of "The Ghastly Experiments of Dr Hans Eidelberger" as part of "The Ascent of Mount Everest" on Spotify, Amazon etc, and that's what I heard when I googled it after reading this thread. I guess this listing is in error as showing it as existing then. www.thegbcc.info/Web/Misc/w-cy/Goon_Show.html

3rd series episode "The Ascent of Mount Everest" has circulated among collectors for some years. Unfortunately it's a) only a 15-minute extract, b) from a very low quality source, and c) 32kbps. A combination of b and c mean that it's worse than useless. I don't think it sounds that bad. I think there has been some pretty lo-fi (but worthwhile) material included as extras on some of the compendia, some of it possibly of lower quality than this, so it seems a shame if it's going to be left out.

Am I right in thinking that BBC Enterprise held copies on 16mm for foreign sales and these weren't destroyed until 1974? If so could the clips not have come from there? Yes, I edited my post to that effect a few minutes before your reply :-)

In 1971, an edition of "Ask Aspel" broadcast during, or shortly after, the run of Terror Of The Autons, and which I watched at the time, featured a clip from Power Of The Daleks. According to BroadWCast it was the 29 January 1971 edition of "Ask Aspel", however BroadWCast says the Power clip was from episode 2, which I'm certain is incorrect, and it was in fact from episode 4. I am certain of this because I very clearly remember the "Dalek <n> complete. Check" dialogue to the clip. In other words it was from the same part of episode 4, and was quite possibly the exact same clip, as one of the clips that were discovered in 2005 on a film insert reel for a 1966 edition of Tomorrow's World.
What I'm wondering is: is this same film insert reel (or indeed the Tomorrow's World episode itself) the likely source that was also used for the "Ask Aspel" clip, or is there anywhere else it could have been sourced from at that time? Referring to "Wiped", it seems that, although there is no record of when the transmission tapes for Power were wiped, "it seems certain" that they were junked by July 1969, and additionally it seems the overseas prints would have been in Australia and New Zealand in 1971. Does this mean that, as far as is known, the only places the clip could have been obtained from for Ask Aspel would be the Tomorrow's World episode or the film insert reel used for it, and is it likely that this is what happened, or could there have been another source at the time?
Edited to add: Oh, I guess the film negatives for overseas sales still existed then, so it could have come from there?

You might be thinking of Ask Aspel. I've heard that a clip from EOTD was used, but that edition of AA is itself missing. As per other thread, "Ask Aspel" had a clip from "Power Of The Daleks" in the early 70s, which I also saw, but the clip I recall from EOTD was several years earlier than that - ie in the 60s and not from AA.

Not sure if this is relevant, but I recall seeing a clip of the final battle from "Evil of The Daleks" on "Points of View" (or possibly some other programme with a very similar format to "Points of View".) I think a viewer had written asking to see again the moment when the "Daleks were destroyed." The clip may well have just been of Daleks blowing up etc, with no other actors involved.

I remember seeing an Ask Aspel episode which had clips from both Power Of The Daleks and Terror Of The Autons in it. www.timerotor.com lists this as January 29 1971 which sounds right, but the Ask Aspel episode no longer exists (Andrew Martin confirmed this on the old RT forum.) FWIW the Power clip was either the same or very close to the most recently recovered clip. The Terror clip was of the auton daffodil sellers. I do remember seeing a clip some years before that which I think was from Evil (the daleks being destroyed) but this was on some other show - possibly Points Of View (not Junior Points Of View I don't think) and I think would've been shortly after the episode was broadcast. What I do remember from Junior Points Of View (at least I think it was from there) was a piece where viewers had written in with their suggestions for the actor to replace Pat Troughton as the Doctor when he was leaving. I can't remember any of the suggestions, unfortunately!
