I watched “The ABC of ABC – A Souvenir With Music” this morning and I really enjoyed it. This was made in 1966 to commemorate ABC’s 10th anniversary in broadcasting. The programme featured a few clips from programmes that are now missing. These included the following:
• Cliff Richard performing ‘Mean Streak’ on ‘Oh Boy!’ (23 May 1959)
• Oscar Brown Jr. performing ‘Sam’s Life’ on ‘Tempo’ (06 October 1963)
• Spike Milligan, Peter Cook and Rosemary Forsyth on ‘The Eamonn Andrews Show’ (19 December 1965)
I think it's likely that the clips from ‘Candid Camera’ and ‘The Grammar of Cooking’ are also from editions that were subsequently wiped.

Today:
CELEBRATION: Duke Ellington
in Coventry Cathedral by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra with George Webb and the Cliff Adams Singers.
A trailblazing fusion of secular and sacred, this Easter Day show featured the European Premiere of Duke Ellington's Concert of Sacred Music. Showcasing his suite In the Beginning... God, Ellington defines the cathedral as "a magnificent place to do magnificent things" and believes that his music here is "one of the most satisfying things I've ever done. And the most important. Personally important."
Choral score composed by Robert Sharples
Produced by Ben Churchill
Directed by Cliff Adams
Original ITV Transmission 10 April 1966
This recently-recovered live performance from Easter Sunday 1966 saw Duke Ellington presenting his music suite In the Beginning... God, in the spectacular setting of Coventry’s post war modernist Cathedral.

Sammy DaviS Jr Meets the British
Hot on the heels of his bravura Royal Variety Performance ("To say he stopped the show is an understatement", reported The Stage), Sammy Davis Jr starred in this high profile Light Entertainment special that firmly cemented his popularity with the viewing public.
Featuring a mixture of his much-lauded nightly spot at London's Pigalle theatre-restaurant (newly-staged in the ABC studios at Teddington) and a new fantasy dance sequence, Sammy's energetic performance captivated a spellbound audience – a performance that still stands up over fifty years later as he sings, dances and impersonates his Hollywood friends.
Sammy at the Fun Fair staged by Lionel Blair and Hal Loman
Associated conductor Morty Stevens Orchestra directed by Bob Sharples
Designed by James Goddard
Directed by Brian Tesler
An ABC Television Network Production
Original ITV Transmission 11 June 1960

Hopefully, this show will finally end the "notice how you never see Tommy Cooper and Dudley Moore together?" rumour!
