1960 Missing Found? Forum Opinion Sought

[williammcgregor]

Paul Robeson was one of the most treasured names in song and perhaps one of the first pop icons!

TV Brain has for

(Val Parnell's) Saturday Spectacular

01.10.1960 with Paul Robeson, Patrice Munsel, Emile Ford, Morecambe and Wise Jack Parnell and his Orchestra

(Missing, believed never to have been recorded)

It is that ' believed never to have been recorded' where the forum opinion is sought!

Please, would as many as possible - watch the following ...

and in particular focus on the end credits and cast your opinion whether you are fairly certain this is from the Missing Episode above ? or, if like me, you are uncertain, as it is said to be, believed never to have been recorded ?

A few more things about this please, are the second song by Paul, the music, not the words, are familiar to me, yet I cannot
remember, where I heard and saw the tune before, it was definitely used on tv for something?

At the very end of the sequence, is an ATV which I have never seen before, is this new to everyone too?

Is there a good chance that the whole episode exists - as Morecambe and Wise from 1960 are in it, they must have been very young, does anything exist of M&W from 1960, or does the forum think this end sequence is all that exists?

Is this footage videotape or film - 16mm or 35 mm? For people like me, who don't know, how do we determine what is tape and what is film?

Thank you for your valuable opinions.

The music is from the second movement (“Largo”) from Dvorak’s New World Symphony. It has been used/adapted many times by many people. This version by Paul is an adaptation written in the early 1920s called “Going Home.”

Might this be the version you heard?

ITV have this.

I am going to lay money that this was one of the unlabelled can discoveries found in the the last decade, and Kaleidoscope weren't told (hence the error on tvbrain).

I've messaged Kaleidoscope.

Thanks William.
