To Stuart Douglas. Yes, this is the same programme, and I recommend you view it some time. There is some member of the audience, in a gallery box, who looks as though he can't believe some of the acts he is watching (animal acts that went wrong, plus a few other problems). Libby Morris saved the day (or should I say, evening) with her performance of 'Just One Of Those Songs' in the comical style that was her trade-mark. Yours, So it's not missing then? Cool - anyone know when it was returned? Stuart

A black and white telerecording with Woody Allen as guest host and featuring Libby Morris did turn up in 1994 and was shown at that year's Missing, Believed Wiped event. Is this one we have listed as missing on the main Misisng Episodes list? www.btinternet.com/~m.brown1/hippo.htmStuart

I appreciate that somebody wants to be helpful/informative, but surely only Dick Fiddy can know this for sure. I gather that the above person(Jason), wanted to ask Mr Fiddy the question, and your reply, while appreciated, can not necessarily be taken as carved in stone. ARGHHHHH!!!! You're kidding, surely? You can't possibly be being serious... Stuart

I know they wanted to reduce rush-hour tube congestion, but this is extreme even for Tony Blair. Did you notice no-one laughed at your 'joke'. Strange that... Stuart

I came across a guy who mentioned having taped himself as a contestant on the Adventure Game during November 1981 (when 50% of the episodes are missing). He still had the tape earlier this year, but never replied to my email asking for more details Stuart

Both the Porridge & Open All Hours pilots are on the DVDs, aren't they? 'Prisoner and Escort' (the Porridge pilot) is on the Series 2 'Porridge' DVD, which is what prompted me to wonder about the other episodes of 'Seven of One'. Thanks for the heads up about 'Open all Hours' though. Stuart

Yes it does. All on colour tape. Is any of it available commercially, do you know? Stuart

"I will contact Botswana State Media straightaway to see if they have space in their archive" Sigh, it's that kind of attitude that will not help the cause. I do not understand if Mr Perry is serious about archive television. Why not take a serious interest and join the Kaleidoscope instead of silliness which will never lead to the return of the troughton gems. Is this a very subtle joke? I think we can safely assume that Chris Perry is serious about archive television Stuart

Hi Guys, I was thinking of some ways to "entice" Collectors to part with various epps of "whatever", How about this.. we get cracking on a project called Archive DVD for TV Or somthing We form a small Group of people who have the equiptment (like Me) to put Video Onto High Quality DVD Im talking 10mbps dvd's encoded with Procoder 2.. like I do.. What ? Create and distribute illegal copies of programmes to which you do not own the rights ? And exactly how does this not do the TV Companies any harm ? Or the artists involved in creating the originals ? What game ? Spelling ? Eh ? "The GenTelemen" - good pun ! ...and pray what did you get to speak to the other times ? Their doors ? This forum is becoming more and more like a Trading Post for illegal file-swapping etc. Do you gents really believe this is the way forward ? What a total prat (pompous, inaccurate and woefully unfunny, all in the same post - it's like being in the Doctor Who forum). Oh, and there is no capital C in 'companies'. Stuart

I always think that if I find anything I'll stick a copy up on a bittorrent site before I send it away to the Beeb or whomever - that way a rough copy gets out to everyone and if the TV company cleans it up and puts it out on DVD those who want it can buy a better quality version. Isn't that quite risky though? For example, you find an episode of Out of the Unknown, upload it to a BitTorrent tracker and return it to the BBC. Who is the obvious source of the illegal upload? I can see your point though and I completely understand. In fact, BitTorrent is the only way I've been able to see Dixon of Dock Green - I downloaded Pound of Flesh and Father in Law, watched them, loved them, deleted them. I also downloaded the Season 1 episodes of Doomwatch that haven't been released on DVD (though haven't got round to watching thme yet). Perhaps in the future, as filesharing becomes more commericialised, the BBC will offer rare archive series available for download. Fairly minimal risk I'd have thought - I can't see even the BBC trying to sue someone for something like that (not to mention the publicity from a potential lawsuit which would, I suspect, kill dead any chance of anyone giving them anything ever again).

thats my point .. most of the people I spoke to would be interested in handing back prints if people like us could have copies 1st. they would never concider handing back anything if it would never see the light of day.. the most interesting part was when one of them told me that he had a large collection of programming from one of the ITV networks.. tried to make contact with someone who now owns the archive .. did so after a very very long time. the currant owners were not that interested in getting his stuff back. He insisted , got thier address sent (at his own expense) sent about 10 cans, about 2 years later he got half back with a note telling him that they were keeping half of em (they told him many time in negotiations that he'd get them ALL back) they diddnt want the other 5 (which suprised him A LOT) a yer or so later after many phone calls to get at least copies of his prints that they had kept.. he got word that they had lost them in the meantime.. this happened to a serious collector who related this story to many many many many other collectors (in fact Ive heard "chineese whispered" versions from some other contants i have made) When things like that happen is it any wonder some ocllectors think 'why bother?' Was this a major TV company the collector was dealing with? I always think that if I find anything I'll stick a copy up on a bittorrent site before I send it away to the Beeb or whomever - that way a rough copy gets out to everyone and if the TV company cleans it up and puts it out on DVD those who want it can buy a better quality version.

I sense an unwanted urge to placate the interior complex with an perfect action of regret. Damn!, I was going to say that......... Unfortunately for you, you didn't. Or fortunately for you, rather... ;D Stuart

I think that today, in the age of DVD releases, we will see a winding down of b/w recordings being commercially released.....the markets too small, and most of the prints/ v.t. s too poor quality now. Shame, ianj I would have thought with the relative cheapness of DVD versus VHS we'd be more likely to see more old archive tv coming out in future, not less. Stuart

Wasn't a missing episode of Under Manning found under a toilet seat when Meridian moved out of Northam Studios last December? Where else would you find something 'starring' the talentless Bernard? Stuart
