After sharing peterscheck's clip of The Searchers on BP with a friend who's more of a Hollies expert than me, he mentioned that they'd appeared on Blue Peter doing 'Stay' presumably in late 1963 when the single came out but that Bobby Elliot mentioned in his book that it was wiped.
I was under the impression that most Blue Peters existed after a certain early 60s date, (can anyone remind me when the cut off point is?), and with the Freddie and the Dreamers and Searchers music performances existing from either side of when the Hollies record was out, I was wondering if there was any hope that the editiion with The Hollies doing 'Stay' existed in the BBC archive but just hadn't ever leaked.. anyone know either way? Know it's a long shot but worth asking anyway: as Hollies fans will know there is no known contemporary footage of them performing this their first top ten single known to be extant so it would be of considerable interest for this reason should it survive.
