The b/w episode of "Morecambe and Wise" show that turned up a few years ago was from 7/10/68, but it is not the complete episode. There is also a clip from an episode of that series that exists on an edition of the documentary series "One Pair of Eyes" (with Marty Feldman, "No But Seriously..." tx 7/6/69). "Christmas Night with the Stars" tx 25/12/68 also featured M&W, and that doesn't exist either (but everything since that does!).

Does anyone know if the colour versions of their last ATV series (although strictly speaking that should be "color ITC series" I suppose) exist?

They're all wiped  Gosh! Somebody with the same name as me! Poor fella! And - yes - there's thankfully a fair few of the ATV shows still around.  All the best Andrew |

I have some excellent footage of the Small Faces doing two numbers from the M and W show in 67.
Believe it was called Piccadily Palace in the states. Maybe that's why it survived. The Yanks seemed to have imported stuff while their stars had a Summer break.

Yes, the whole series was called that in the States. Some were called that in the UK, but only those sans M&W. ATV made a series called "Piccadilly Palace", recorded on b&w PAL and color NTSC (the "color" cameras having the priority, as with Cook and Moore's "Goodbye Again"). The b&w series was shown in the UK as "The Morecambe and Wise Show" in'68, except for the 2(?) shows that were without M&W, featuring Millicent Martin (who was in the other shows too) and Bruce Forsyth. The whole run was shown in the US, I believe, as "Piccadilly Palace". There can be some confusion as to whether M&W's last ATV series was in colour, and it's just that the same series seems to have been recorded on two sets of cameras, one in NTSC color, the other b&w PAL. "This Is Tom Jones" got a similar treatment, I think. The color versions of "Piccadilly Palace", and the Cook and Moore series (whatever title that might have been shown under in the US) might well exist in the US of A...does anyone know? |

Upon reflection I feel I should offer some apology for my earlier remark as it was somewhat vulgar. I do not however offer any such thing to whoever that person is with whom I share and IP/hub address and who continues to post nonsense that i end up getting called out for....

I've said this before but JohnSMiller is a real person with that very name (the same as yours, if indeed it is your true name). If you continue to suggest that he is an imposter, your messages will be deleted. No further warnings given. |

Note:The following message has nothing to do with missing episodes, but rather a misunderstood post on this thread.......
To Laurence, and everyone else, I was NOT referring to "John S Miller" in my "rant". I was in fact referring to the fact that my computer shares a hub/IP address with literally hundreds of other people in the same building/place of work, shared between more than one place of business. Thus when anybody on the hub posts a moronic message, EVERYBODY on the hub may very well get flamed. Thus innocent posters must suffer the backlash/consequences of one fool's "clever" or "funny" internet writings. I know this personally, as I have had to endure this. Also, as this site does not require log-ins for postings ANYONE on ANY IP address(shared or otherwise) can call themselves "Andrew Pixley", "Tom Baker" or anything else! Thus the poster calling themselves "Andrew Pixley" was not the real Mr Pixley but an imposter! I was merely trying to tell Mr Chapman this, although I admittedly went overboard in attacking the poster or posters who share my IP/ hub address and who I know have posted crap on the missing epsiodes boards before!
NONE of this had ANYTHING to do with "John S Miller" the friend of "Laurence Piper". NONE of it was in any way directed towards him! I apologise if anyone read my original message, or my follow-up and thought that anything in either of them were in any way directed towards him. I also apologise if anyone didn't read the note at the beginning of this messaeg and has wasted their time reading a post that they may have thought had anything to do with eric or Ernie.

All M&W episodes from 1969 onwards still exist, and all are on colour VT. |

The first BBC2 shows from 1968 (all in colour) were, apparently, wiped, but one programme in black and white from that series did turn up. I have heard there may be some others. Hi Andrew. By 'some others' you mean other existing BBC M&W shows from 1968? I'm certainly keen to hear about any rumours you may have heard about... |

The kind of rumours that I have heard over the years are similar to those relating to Hancock's Half Hour (some of the programmes missing, mainly, from the fourth series).
Usually, when I have spoken with a few contacts who have helped to direct my investigations to those who have had missing archive items, which have been returned to the television archives. It remains to be seen whether there are any more shows from the BBC 1968 Morecambe and Wise series, but I suppose it cannot be ruled out. Similarly with Hancock's Half Hour.
Yours,
