Well, here's the discoveries from July that I either spotted, I was alerted to, or had forgotten about from before.
It's another Points of View again, another one from the JMX TV Archive youtube channel.
This one is from 21/12/1982 and is fronted by a bit of Dallas and unfortunately cuts out just before the end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlDs5OMLtMI
You remember that list of the 100 Most Wanted Lost Shows of the Video Age (1978 onwards) list I made?
(tumbleweed....)
Well, here's one of the lost shows, one of the most recent ones.
It's an episode of Wolf It! and it's from the 18th November 1993; it's another one from the ADC youtube channel.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OjxDItPD78
And another of those wiped episodes of Wolf It!, this one from 23/11/1994:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7KQIoldbyQ
Plus also an undated one from the same year which is only partial and might or might not be wiped! It's difficult to tell the tx date:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtW0-0t9WW4
(by the way I am aware of those partially uploaded episodes from 13 years ago. They're on one of my old 'finds' lists.)
And another, 25/11/93:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv9vj4h3bmM
Perhaps it would be remiss of me not to mention the audio for Roy Orbison's appearance on ATV's The London Palladium Show from 01/01/1967.
It's from 42.30 until 54.22 on the youtube upload as referenced below. I'm presuming that this is the same audio that Kaleidoscope acquired a short while back.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrgoOiqBOLk
(NOTE: The Top of the Pops mentioned is from the radio show, not the TV show.)
Off-topic. Sorry.
Very occasionally I look for films, and my success rate is ok.
So I gave myself a thirty minute project to have a quick look for lost instalments of 'the Hazards of Helen[', which was a series of films made between 1914 and 1917.
119 were made and 21 exist in full or partially.
Well, 22 NOW, to be accurate, because Episode 58 - Wrong Train Order is meant to be lost and it's here (and it has been for 9 years....):- www.youtube.com/watch?v=l267EluGL3I
In addition, episode 3 - the Pay Train - is meant to only exist in a private collection, when it's actually at UC Berkeley in the US, and episode 9 - Leap from the Water Tower - which was also meant to be held by a collector - has copies at UCLA, Philips Exeter Academy (New Hampshire) and New York Public Library.
This has been around a wee while, but.... it's not been on youtube before until last month, so you may not have heard it.
It's been uploaded by the excellent Audio Only channel.
It's the soundtrack to 'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes' episode 'the Solitary Cyclist' from 09/12/1968 starring Peter Cushing and Nigel Stock.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYyQBYHs5tE
Belated news:- I am pleased to inform you all that the thought-to-be-lost 25/07/1979 edition of Come Dancing, was discovered not so long back and rebroadcast earlier this year (in January....!)
'You never find ANY drama!'
Erm.... the Possessed was a 1969 drama series on BBC 2 and episode 1 (the Sins of Others) (25/01/1969) only exists as a monochrome telerecording, despite the fact it was made in colour.
Well, actually, those fine people at the Paley Archive have it on 525-line colour videotape....
Well, this is a bit leftfield, and certainly one for TV historians.
However, this is not a discovery per se. More of a correction, and do let me explain....
Good Morning Scotland was the first attempt at Breakfast Television in these islands*.
It was dubbed 'radiovision' and it ran for a week. And, as I reported, the shows were junked and until fairly recently nothing was known to exist until Kaleidoscope recovered part of one episode.
Well, knock me down with a stale bridie if it turns out that the Beeb have got at least a bit of the first episode (01/12/1980) and they actually uploaded it in 2014!!!!!!!!!!!
It's held at BBC Scotland - which would make perfect sense - and the reason it's not been mentioned as existing on tvbrain is because it wasn't on a central holdings database.
So, not a new discovery, as I said, but corrected information.
BBC Scotland confirmed they have this episode, after email and phone contact by myself.
I suppose you want to see it now you've read this far, no?
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01p32fx
(* another Scottish first)
(I am aware of Good Morning Calendar and Good Morning North, but.... to me they weren't national!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(PS, there are no RADIO editions of GMS in the archives of BBC Scotland prior to 1977.)
You were aware a bit of the AUDIO of John Lennon's solo appearance of Juke Box Jury exists?
No?
Well, I was, and it's finally turned up on youtube.
The audio is from the episode transmitted 29/06/1963. It's fairly low quality and it's only 4 minutes of so, but.... that's better than nowt, right?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXkeYki_ofs
Here's Peter Schilling performing his Major Tom thingie on Cheggers Plays Pop on 22/05/1984.
A domestic recording of the episode was sent to Kaleidoscope a couple of years back, but this seems to have come from a different source tape than that. Plus it's on Peter's youtube channel so maybe he's had a copy all this time.
Anyway, vorsprung durch technik....
www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLWiiVkiNng
This is fairly completist....
Is it missing? Probably.
Is it UK TV?
Yes.
However, the clip doesn't really pertain to a UK programme.
Anyway, here's Seasonal Greetings from Shelley Long and the Cast of Cheers.... perfect for a DVD extra.... sometime December 1983 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v3Gr9UMhNQ
Another Opportunity Knocks recovered, sadly in audio only but at least it exists.
31st October 1965
With acts The Casuals, The Roberts Trio, Howard and Will Shepherd, The Blackpool Gamblers, Maureen Myers & Marguerite Steggel.
Also a bonus of two adverts recorded at the time on the first break.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=t23SwACmiSU
Thanks to Kevin Ellis for spotting this.
This has been uploaded before from a different source tape and so I think this is worth at least mentioning....
It's SE01 E02 of Catchphrase, tx 19/01/1986.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJA0qRzII6c
(I am aware of the multiple uploads of other missing episodes of Catchphrase on youtube.)
I've confirmed an audio of a lost show exists, even though I haven't actually heard it yet.
Let me explain.
Back in the day jazzers were pretty much the first people to make bootlegs, even before the early 70s when they became so commonplace even the early Virgin Record Shops would sell rock bootlegs on the QT. So I did more researching and it transpires that a home recorded bootleg of Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan's performance (31/10/1968) on Jazz at the Maltings as does the continuation of that gig telecasted on 13/02/1969. (I thought I'd use 'telecast' for once, it's really an American term, but the artists are....🤣)
The thing is the bootleg was actually issued in the 1970s....
This is NOT one of my discoveries - an anonymous contact of mine who doesn't do social media found this - but a fairly recent acquisition to the BFI's catalogue is this:-

Here is a partial audio of 'Ace of Clubs', a BBC programme from 21/11/1970, as 'Michael Aspel introduces top entertainers in a countrywide competition for The Stage Awards, Tonight from the Palace Theatre, Manchester.' :- www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8khZJVwqC8
This is not one of my finds, I've been made aware of it - this is - as far as I know- a clip from a lost ATV Today from 24/12/1980.
This isn't a news item per se, so I can post it here - it's Geoff Bodenham and the bairns from the Russell Hall Middle School in Dudley performing an amusing ditty called Black Country Carol.
A lovely piece of Regional ITV.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=axKyTKnJtQ0
And now here is that Noele Gordon clip (post ITV-strike catch-up) - stabilized. Thanks to the Crossroads Appreciation Society and Steven Cove:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrMA6TCYm9M
This may hardly seem the botheration to some people but an excerpt of a colour telerecording of an 'existing' Glen Campbell Music Show is on youtube.
The reason I'm mentioning this is because it transpires that the US kinescope features material not broadcast - or apparently retained - in the UK.
The extract in question comes from 11/05/1975 and this is the David Gates episode. The previous week's episode also exists in 30 minute form in the UK, while a 40-minute kinescope exists in the States.
A pattern is emerging....
Apparently, the clip runs 4% slow (something to do with a 24fps rather than 25fps thing), which would also explain some timing issues in addition to the one I previously mentioned.
Anyway, here's a wee clip of the Campbell of the Glen* performing 'Where's the Playground Susie?', which apparently was excised from the UK broadcast:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-P34nPhTTE...
*(c) the wee git in the cap.
Another wee find for the completist.
The very end of a lost Cover to Cover edition - a Grampian book review show - from sometime in 1982. Assorted adverts and continuity too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB8pzPIwEQE
As located by Pete Morris - not myself - here's a missing University Challenge episode (Audio only)
S1 e6 26.10.1962 London School of Economics v Edinburgh (missing)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=o938kYgqi18
A wee smidge of audio.
Only one song on this compilation is actually from a wiped show.
So, starting at 26.23, is Tim Buckley's performance on 'Once More with Felix', 23/11/1968 SE01. E02, and it's 'Happy Time'.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yUilxzXXHE
In 1968 the BBC recorded a colour special called 'Ray Charles' featuring, quite obviously, the man himself. Broadcast on 07/02/1969 on BBC2. Then subsequently junked....
Here's the info on it:-
raycharlesvideomuseum.blogspot.com/2013/02/i-wrote-earlier-about-mythical.html
And here are two colour clips from the show.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK2HF-5-b-Q
AND
www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVXBDBB-GfM
Lots of audio of Dusty Springfield's 60s BBC TV shows exist; however a new one has appeared and it's a song from SE01 E01 of 'Decidedly Dusty', from 09/09/1969 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSH3iS5XDrc
The quality is decidedly low-fi, but warm, and I am grateful this exists.
A bit off-topic, this, but it's missing TV.
Just not UK TV....
In 1971 there was a new show over the wee pond called Curiosity Shop. The Saturday morning series was an experimental concept in children’s television, and the brainchild of producer Chuck Jones, legendary director of Looney Tunes cartoons and creator of the beloved Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote characters. Each episode of Curiosity Shop was developed around a single theme, such as music and dance or feelings, and featured three children who explored the theme by visiting the entertaining and educational shop in the title.
Anyway, the actress Pamelyn Ferdin posted about it just the now, and as I logged on to FB this a.m, her Page came up as 'Suggested'.
She said "The show proved to have little value in syndication, ABC wiped the original tapes. Except for two episodes preserved in fuzzy black and white, all that creativity and hard work is gone forever."
Apart from, of course, the colour edition that exists at UCLA on 2-inch Quad that I just spotted. (All this before 5.30 a.m!!!!)
Details below.

Right - I DIDN'T find this, but the guy who spotted it doesnae want credit.
This seems to be a very recent addition to the BFI's catalogue and it's an edition of the otherwise-completely-missing series 'Members' Mail' (the title referring to MPs and not anything MALE, so to speak....)
So, anyways, the details are here:-
""MEMBERS’ MAIL

By the way, this was written and presented by Daniel Farson.
Missing Opportunity Knocks audio? Yes.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXN-aH5WAG0
The dates seem to be from 31/01/1972 consecutively to 13/03/1972 and then the All Winner's Show from 27/03/1972, so EIGHT appearances, rather than seven.
Today's upload from the wsmspar1966 youtube channel has lots of the usual adverts and continuity. At about 2.17.47 through it, there's a presumably wiped Postscript, which was TSW's pre-Closedown programme.
Should anyone be able to work out an estimated tx date for this, please let me know in the comments below.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSCZcvKWCx8
Missing? Not sure these are, but there's very little way of telling.
ITV have 9 (undated) episodes of Gambit - introduced by everyone's favourite Skate, Fred Dinenage - and the BFI have a couple as well, but that's a micturatingly poor return from 10 Series worth of episodes.
These two seem to come from 1981 - and neither are the same common upload that's been on-and-off youtube for donkey's years (I've checked).
Anyway, thanks again to the wsmspar1966 youtube channel.
Fred starts shuffling his pack at around 1.09.10:-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbda4bDAxfE
PS: Ident and continuity lovers will note that there's also a spiffingly large amount of that on this upload too.
Something that's meant to be missing that's actually at the BFI....

Here is a partial audio of 'Ace of Clubs', a BBC programme from 21/11/1970, as 'Michael Aspel introduces top entertainers in a countrywide competition for The Stage Awards, Tonight from the Palace Theatre, Manchester.' :- www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8khZJVwqC8
This is not one of my finds, I've been made aware of it - this is - as far as I know- a clip from a lost ATV Today from 24/12/1980.
This isn't a news item per se, so I can post it here - it's Geoff Bodenham and the bairns from the Russell Hall Middle School in Dudley performing an amusing ditty called Black Country Carol.
A lovely piece of Regional ITV.

And now here is that Noele Gordon clip (post ITV-strike catch-up) - stabilized. Thanks to the Crossroads Appreciation Society and Steven Cove:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrMA6TCYm9M
This may hardly seem the botheration to some people but an excerpt of a colour telerecording of an 'existing' Glen Campbell Music Show is on youtube.
The reason I'm mentioning this is because it transpires that the US kinescope features material not broadcast - or apparently retained - in the UK.
The extract in question comes from 11/05/1975 and this is the David Gates episode. The previous week's episode also exists in 30 minute form in the UK, while a 40-minute kinescope exists in the States.
A pattern is emerging....
Apparently, the clip runs 4% slow (something to do with a 24fps rather than 25fps thing), which would also explain some timing issues in addition to the one I previously mentioned.
Anyway, here's a wee clip of the Campbell of the Glen* performing 'Where's the Playground Susie?', which apparently was excised from the UK broadcast:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-P34nPhTTE...
*(c) the wee git in the cap.
Another wee find for the completist.
The very end of a lost Cover to Cover edition - a Grampian book review show - from sometime in 1982. Assorted adverts and continuity too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB8pzPIwEQE
As located by Pete Morris - not myself - here's a missing University Challenge episode (Audio only)
S1 e6 26.10.1962 London School of Economics v Edinburgh (missing)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=o938kYgqi18
A wee smidge of audio.
Only one song on this compilation is actually from a wiped show.
So, starting at 26.23, is Tim Buckley's performance on 'Once More with Felix', 23/11/1968 SE01. E02, and it's 'Happy Time'.

In 1968 the BBC recorded a colour special called 'Ray Charles' featuring, quite obviously, the man himself. Broadcast on 07/02/1969 on BBC2. Then subsequently junked....
Here's the info on it:-

And here are two colour clips from the show.

Lots of audio of Dusty Springfield's 60s BBC TV shows exist; however a new one has appeared and it's a song from SE01 E01 of 'Decidedly Dusty', from 09/09/1969 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSH3iS5XDrc
The quality is decidedly low-fi, but warm, and I am grateful this exists.
A bit off-topic, this, but it's missing TV.
Just not UK TV....
In 1971 there was a new show over the wee pond called Curiosity Shop. The Saturday morning series was an experimental concept in children’s television, and the brainchild of producer Chuck Jones, legendary director of Looney Tunes cartoons and creator of the beloved Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote characters. Each episode of Curiosity Shop was developed around a single theme, such as music and dance or feelings, and featured three children who explored the theme by visiting the entertaining and educational shop in the title.
Anyway, the actress Pamelyn Ferdin posted about it just the now, and as I logged on to FB this a.m, her Page came up as 'Suggested'.
She said "The show proved to have little value in syndication, ABC wiped the original tapes. Except for two episodes preserved in fuzzy black and white, all that creativity and hard work is gone forever."
Apart from, of course, the colour edition that exists at UCLA on 2-inch Quad that I just spotted. (All this before 5.30 a.m!!!!)
Details below.

Right - I DIDN'T find this, but the guy who spotted it doesnae want credit.
This seems to be a very recent addition to the BFI's catalogue and it's an edition of the otherwise-completely-missing series 'Members' Mail' (the title referring to MPs and not anything MALE, so to speak....)
So, anyways, the details are here:-
""MEMBERS’ MAIL

MEMBERS’ MAIL
27-03-1957 Episode No.11 (missing)
By the way, this was written and presented by Daniel Farson.
Missing Opportunity Knocks audio? Yes.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXN-aH5WAG0
The dates seem to be from 31/01/1972 consecutively to 13/03/1972 and then the All Winner's Show from 27/03/1972, so EIGHT appearances, rather than seven.
Today's upload from the wsmspar1966 youtube channel has lots of the usual adverts and continuity. At about 2.17.47 through it, there's a presumably wiped Postscript, which was TSW's pre-Closedown programme.
Should anyone be able to work out an estimated tx date for this, please let me know in the comments below.

Missing? Not sure these are, but there's very little way of telling.
ITV have 9 (undated) episodes of Gambit - introduced by everyone's favourite Skate, Fred Dinenage - and the BFI have a couple as well, but that's a micturatingly poor return from 10 Series worth of episodes.
These two seem to come from 1981 - and neither are the same common upload that's been on-and-off youtube for donkey's years (I've checked).
Anyway, thanks again to the wsmspar1966 youtube channel.
Fred starts shuffling his pack at around 1.09.10:-

PS: Ident and continuity lovers will note that there's also a spiffingly large amount of that on this upload too.
Something that's meant to be missing that's actually at the BFI....
