Could this show be reconstructed seeing as were only missing the number 1 and the credits?
Interesting how it was wiped, but everything survives other than the last 5 minutes

I’ve got a couple of episodes on video, recorded in 1979 I think. Be interesting to know if they’re missing. Will check them out.

Related to this topic, I remember watching a children’s TV retrospective called “Are You Sitting Comfortably?”
I checked genome and it was apparently only shown once on January 1st 1999. Its a shame it’s not been repeated since, it had some great classic clips!

Why only keep thirty? Why didn't she just get rid of the whole lot in one go?
Also, she must have realised how much time, money and effort went into this collection over the years. Why wouldn't she want them to go to a good home?
I guess we can be hopeful about what's left. Exciting to hear about the 500th TOTP

Always makes me smile when I come across more recent recording on out of date formats. I've seen 2001 recording on Betamax, and I've found mid 90's recordings on V2000.
I guess if people have spent a lot of money on a certain format, then they want to get their money's worth out of it

What format is Nationwide stored on?
And what made them choose this selection to be digitised? Not that I'm complaining, just interested to know

Would be great to see some of these, a real snapshot of the past! Is there more of a chance of these being made freely available as opposed to normal episodes?
Did they all come from VHS tapes? I'm not sure when VHS launched in the UK, I thought it was 1978. I've got a few recordings from 1978 which is the only reason that makes me think that!

I've got the 1983 series recorded on a V2000 tape. Shame it's not the missing one!

Thanks for the links.
Very interesting stuff! Wonder where he got them from?
Seems like he's got a mix of early '72 and '73 stuff along with some mid 80's bits too

Am I right in thinking that the extra half hour has never been broadcast in the UK?

What kind of programs were the clips taken from?
I'm assuming Whistle Test and Colour Me Pop.

Strangely enough I had an email to say it had been blocked before I had an email to say it had finished uploading!

You're right about the exercise bike and George singing the wrong song. I'll see if I can get my copy onto Youtube.

I found that clip and wanted to link to it here.
Do you know if it was the actual TOTP performance?
