Stubby's Missing Pop Episodes

[williammcgregor]

Please also see the thread just posted in the (General Section) thread to get an outline of all Stubby's Missing Episodes.

01 Saturday 13 May 1961 BBC Television Juke Box Jury Stubby Kaye Katie Boyle Bunny Lewis +1
Stubby paid 30g for 6.5.61, so episode 13.5.61 must have been recorded.

Here is recent confirmation from the BBC


Yes, although most of the episodes when Juke Box Jury started on the BBC in 1959 were live, from 19/12/59 onwards, and for most of its original run until December 1967, the standard practice was to broadcast one live episode and record the following week’s show straight afterwards, so that they were only in the studio once a fortnight. There was the odd occasion when two episodes were pre-recorded in a single session, for logistical reasons.



Stubby Kaye’s fee would have been in guineas, yes.

The recorded editions of Juke Box Jury were almost always recorded on videotape. I haven’t seen any evidence of recording on 16mm film though it is not impossible – if it was done it was likely to be to review the programme, as I doubt it was ever sold overseas; 16mm was definitely never used to pre-record Juke Box Jury for transmission. Occasionally episodes were pre-recorded on 35mm telerecording however, as was the case with the two complete surviving 1960s editions, from 29/10/60 and 12/11/60.

I’m afraid we only have a film sequence about a day trip to Calais from “Open House” on 11 July 1964, and we have no holdings at all from the other two editions.

Tuesday 31 August 1965 The last semi-final, judges are Johnny Briggs, Chris Barber, Ottilie Patterson and journalist Jack Hulton
Thursday 2 September 1965 The winner will be chosen from five finalists by panel Adam Faith Shirley Anne Field Andrew Gray Peter Darrell
The winner was a teenage guitarist Billy Hygate - who in 1968 at 17 was touring as Britain's Top Teenager Billy Hygate (The Kid) 1965 Winner of Stubby's Silver Star Show
Did this Billy Hygate ever join a rock or pop group of the late sixties or 1970s?
The runners-up, in second place in the Final were 4 boy students from Barbara Speake's Stage School, as a singing quartet, whose names are familiar - Jack Wild,
Phil Collins, Danny Grover and Philip Harris.
Thursday 1 July 1965, besides Stubby's Silver Star Show at 5.00 -5.25 pm, there was also Groucho at 7.30 -8pm, which was recorded on 16 mm film and this edition was found in
Groucho Marx's collection in the USA. As they were recording this edition for Groucho, did they perhaps record on the same day the Stubby Silver Star Show for Stubby?

60 Thursday 14 April 1966 Stubby on Tyne Tees - new late night musical Floor Show features Stubby Kaye. Producer of Thursday programme is Anna K. Moore

61 Saturday 15 August 1970 LWT Set 'em Joe Joe Brown Stubby Kaye The Breakaways Clodagh Rogers.

The combined total of this thread and the General Section thread is 89 Missing Episodes, with so many, it increases the likelihood that one or more may surface some time.

Be good to see any of the 89 surface, if I had to plump for 10, they would be the following, would your 10 include any of mine or vary?


0 The Variety Show Granada Television 1960
02 The Saturday Show BBC Television 1962
03 Comedy Bandbox ABC Weekend 1963
04 Swingin' Time BBC One 2/7/64
05 Open House BBC Two 11/7/64
06 Ollie & Fred's Five O Clock Club Rediffusion London 26/1/65
07 Stubby's Silver Star Show 8/6/65 - 2/9/65 any episode that had an aspiring pop Singer or budding beat group
08 Late Show London Rediffusion London 1966
09 Juke Box Jury BBC One 9/4/66
10 The Troubleshooters BBC One 1970

[Kev Hunter]

Could this be the same Billy Hygate as mentioned above? The record is circa 1980 / 1981, so he would be about the right age:

I'd be cautious about making such an assumption for one key reason- You Bet Your Life (which is essentially what Groucho was a Rediffusion adaptation of) always filmed (and, when it was radio-only, recorded) in advance and was edited down into final form, and there are a couple of moments in the surviving print of Groucho that suggests that this was produced in the same way. As such, the fact that that edition of Groucho survives may not have any relevance for Stubby's Silver Star Show, especially without knowledge of how the latter was produced.

Tip-top research by you Kelvin to come up with the Missing Panel for the 19th June edition of Juke Box Jury...

Is there any chance you can come with the 45 rpm Singles featured in this edition ? ...

What has come to light for the 31st October 1964 edition of Juke Box Jury is ...

Susie Q - Frankie Vaughan (Philips) MISS
I Keep Forgettin' - Hi-Fis (Pye) MISS
I Wish I'd Never Loved You - Helen Shapiro (Columbia) HIT
Tango - The Mark Five (Fontana) MISS
There's A Heartache Following Me - Jim Reeves (RCA) HIT
Over Suzanne - Tommy Bruce (Columbia) MISS
I'm Gonna Be Strong - Gene Pitney (Stateside) HIT

Regarding the group called The Mark Five I googled them and low and behold they came from my neck of the woods (Edinburgh and Dunfermline) not only that but they had in their ranks (Manny Charlton) who became a future member of the great 70's Scottish group (Nazareth) see below ...

Did any of the Panel vote it a Hit?

Can anyone else come up with the 45 rpm Singles featured in the other Stubby Kaye listed Juke Box Jury episodes on the opening post of this thread?

LOST JUKE BOX JURY - AUGUST 11th 1962


www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqDtOK-AJw0


LOST JUKE BOX JURY - AUGUST 11th 1962

Please read the description under this upload. I wonder if that family has any other missing material?

This audio is only 18.07 minutes long, all the records played seem to be there, some of the comments by the Panel are missing.

This episode had a 30 minute time-slot, 6 - 6.30 pm.

There are no comments from Juliet Mills, a little by Bunny Lewis, Nancy Spain does what she normally does, fault finding.

Fortunately, there is a considerate and intelligent comment by our man Stubby Kaye at 12.12 minutes to 12.45 minutes about The Ballad Of
Paladin by Duane Eddy.

He bounces through his comment ending on a light note which should make us all smile.

A joy to hear this from Stubby, a privilege to hear this audio, as it seems to be the only known existing material for this episode.

Moving on

60 Thursday 14 April 1966 Stubby on Tyne Tees - new late night musical Floor Show features Stubby Kaye.

Producer of Thursday programme is Anna K. Moore

There was also Thursday 19/5/66 Dickie Valentine; Thursday 23/6/66 Janie Marden 11.07 -11.30 pm and the following is from the Harrow Observer Thursday 28/7/66.

The first sentence may allude to The West Indies Cricket team ? Second may mean folk-type singer ? could it be Cy Grant or someone else? ...

day of the final test at the Oval on August 15. The next day he will appear on the Tyne Tees TV programme Floorshow. and will then take part in a late night folk show at the Edinburgh Festival.

We know the winner was Billy Hygate, so now we know he sang Roy Orbsion's Pretty Woman in the Final Show.
