Missing Des O'Connor show?

[robkeeley]

Talking Pictures TV is reporting on Twitter the recovery of a possibly missing Des O'Connor show from 1973.  Cue lots of Morecambe and Wise gags.  Does anyone have any more info on this?  They haven't given an exact title.

I referred them to Lost Shows on TV Brain (not for the first time - I love Footage Detectives but they don't seem to know about this site or the database!).  Found this (first entry - Des O'Connor Entertains) but I don't know if it's the right show.

What would Eric have made of that title...?

The term “lost” is bandied around so much I’m not sure what it actually means nowadays.

"Let's celebrate 'The Clippy' and The Bus Conductors. We've found the last episode of a Des O'Connor show one lady spots her father on TPTV, and we visit the Bournemouth Fire brigade in the 60s." www.tptvencore.co.uk/Video/The-Footage-Detectives-Episode-87?id=dc317071-795d-4064-a947-41398b4e3522

38 mins in. It;s an episode of 'Des'.

Yes in the same way as "live performance".
