I'm wondering if from reading Neil's thread Rediffusion Tv Archive we can work out when these shows on William's list were actually wiped or went missing how long after they were transmitted were they still around.

Melody Maid and Laurier Lister's Late Show these seem really obscure shows William i reckon finding even a few seconds of some of these would be like finding goldust but fascinating looking up info on them .We know that shows from the 1960s have taken a right hammering as far as missing or wiped is concerned , i know i've said this before but these 1950s shows have been hit even worse where nothing survives at all with a lot of them but we must keep looking. This is from the bti British Television TV Site.

The Jack Hylton Half Hour on 4.10.55 was a Jack Hylton Presents show, where Larry Adler introduced Xavier Cugat, the King of the Mambo. We have the surviving film in the BFI National Archive, and I can tell you that it was filmed in Paris around 21 Sept 1955. I don't think it is the complete programme as there are no end credits, and reviews of the programme mention acts that aren't featured in the film.

Youth Takes a Bow was the first fully live programme that Hylton produced (up to then his programmes had been created from previously filmed items sandwiched with live links) and was introduced by Bryan Michie. The idea was that he would interview young people who were new to television and give them a chance to show their skills or talents to the tv audience. It wasn't an amateur talent show as the youngsters were all professionals, but the idea was to spotlight possible future big names. Names you might recognise included actors Andrew Ray and Jeremy Spenser, Julian Bream and Lester Piggott and Shirley Bassey. And no, as the programmes were live they weren't recorded, so we don't have them in the Archive. We do have some Reg Dixon, though, in Jump for Joy, and he does sing Confidentially.

"Looking at my 4th Nov post for the Twenty-To-Twelve TV Times listing for the 22nd November 1955 above, it can be seen that Douglas Squires was among the
cast. He has been contacted and has responded fabulously by sharing with us the following memories he has of
Twenty-To-Twelve...thank you Dougie"...
I HAD WORKED AS A DANCER FOR JOAN KEMP WELCH WHEN SHE WAS DIRECTOR AT THE NEW THEATRE BROMLEY AND THEN SHE TOOK A COURSE TO BECOME A TV DIRECTOR AND ONE OF HER FIRST PROJECTS WAS A REVUE CALLED TWENTY TO TWELVE..SHE ASKED ME TO APPEAR IN IT SINGING DANCING AND ACTING IN SKETCHES .
(I WAS THRILLED IT WAS TO BE MY FIRST TELEVISION OUT OF THE CHORUS )AND THEN AS AN AFTER THOUGHT SHE SAID "WE HAVE NO BUDGET SO YOU WILL HAVE TO CHOREOGRAPH TOO!!!!!!
I REMEMBER MAVIS TRAILL WHO I HAD WORKED WITH IN TWENTY MINUTES SOUTH A MUSICAL FROM THE PLAYERS THEATRE ..SHE WAS AN EX BALLET RAMBERT DANCER WITH A GREAT GIFT FOR COM EDY AND TONY BATEMEAN WHO WAS A COMIC DANCER ACTOR..I THINK PATSY ROWLANDS AND ROBIN HUNTER WERE ALSO IN IT AND MAYBE PAT SANDYS (MOTHER OF SAMANTHA BOND.)..I COULD BE MISTAKEN THIS COULD HAVE BEEN COOL FOR CATS..DO YOU HAVE A CAST LIST?
WE DID IT IN A TINY LOW CEILINGED BASEMENT STUDIO IN HOLBORN WITH A COUPLE OF DAYS REHEARSAL AND THEN ON.......LIVE!!!!.MOST OF THE MATERIAL WAS WRITTEN BY PETER MOFFATT WHO WAS MARRIED TO JOAN AND WENT ONTO BECOME TV DIRECTOR TOO..EASTENDERS ETC.
I CHOREOGRAPHED AND APPEARED IN THE WHOLE SERIES OF TWENTY TO TWELVE ....SHORT AS IT WAS..IT WAS TOO EARLY FOR MORNING TELLY IT SEEMED AND TOOK A FEW MORE YEARS TO GET THAT OFF THE GROUND.
I HAVE VERY FOND MEMORIES OF THE SERIES AND WOULD BE ONLY TOO HAPPY TO SHARE THEM
Twenty-To-Twelve was my first choreographic job so the beginning of my career in that role. They just didn't have any money in the Twenty-To-Twelve budget so it was a baptism of fire.
HOPE THIS HELPS
BEST WISHES DOUGIE
Once again thank you Dougie on behalf of myself and the forum!
