I'm in the process of constructing a database of UK TV programs that survives on 625 Line Colour VT that were made between 1967 up to the end of 1969 shortly after full colour transmissions began on BBC1 and ITV. A good proportion of the information I have comes from prior knowledge on programs of that period that I have already gathered over the years, however I did have to do some additional research using the Kaleidoscope Facebook group, TV Brain and Missing Episodes Proboards. This database is by no means complete, indeed I'm missing a good deal of information on live OB broadcasts from the late 60's that survive in this format for instance. Here's a link to the database below, which I posted to Google Docs:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vR9fCNz37r6zbC3_4QDJe1ox1Amtjbja9xvnzF1e0f9MsfTe7lSJ-kNoCvmHxJHHfv0nY2C9ztp1FFz/pubhtml
When you go through the pages, you may notice I have divided the records into three categories in order to denote their archive status:
2"VT625-REC - Full Colour VT recording of a program pre-recorded for later transmission.
2"VT625-LIVE - Full Colour VT recording of a live PaSB recording for live transmission.
2"VT625-SEQ - Partial Colour VT recording from a show that doesn't have a complete copy.
If you have more information on existing shows from this period that I've missed out on, or would like to point out amendments/ corrections, then please let me know.
P.S: In case your wondering I'm currently lacking info on the 37 surviving editions of 'Play School' that were broadcast between 1968-9. According to TV Brain, three episodes survive as B&W TR's and a further episode (ED 1356) only survives in part; but that leaves the other 34 editions unaccounted for. I'am aware that not all editions of this show from this period were taped in colour, so there's a good chance that some of these extant editions were taped in monochrome. I have attached a PDF doc: Surviving Editions of Play School 1968-9.pdf (172.13 KB), listing the extant editions from this period. Perhaps someone may have knowledge of which extant Play School editions survive in colour.
