It’s worth mentioning how important the introduction of colour to BBC2 in 1967 was to “Late Night Line-Up” (although most viewers with access to the channel would have still have been watching in black and white) Interesting that the excellnent LNLU Leviathan performance shown on the film clip further up-thread appears to be in b&w despite being watched a on a Baird 700-series dual standard colour television set- one of the first on the market.

Thanks Mark! Great insight. The previous edition 13/5/68 from The Brighton Festival is also known to exist in colour As far as I know, nothing survives from the "Late Night Line-Up" Valentine's Day special from 1968. I only became aware of the details of the programme when I spotted a review of it on the Guardian and Observer digital archive. Roger McGough performed "Summer with Monika" and Brian Patten read "Party Piece". I'd like to see the Brighton Festival edition from May 1968. It featured another of the Liverpool poets. Adrian Henri was shown performing poems inspired by science-fiction whilst dressed as an astronaut.

Yes found by our very own Ray Langstone, the Brighton one has been returned to the BBC now and at an RT of around 25mins sounds quite comprehensive rather than a 2 or 3 min teaser.
