Does anyone know if Benn's Xmas 1967 special for ATV survives?

It was scheduled for a release this July by NetworkDVD, but this was cancelled.
So it must survive in some form?
-and that is the mystery- as the 1967 one was originally made in colour, but videotapes from that era dont have a very high survival rate for many different reasons. So it maybe just survives as a B/W viewing copy?

I think you're right Hartley.
It's widely known that ATV were wiping master reels up to the end of franchise; early 1980s. Also that with the vast majority of their stuff; the preferred holding form is a B+W T/R 'protection copy'.
They have whole runs of stuff often; but 9 times out of 10 its all B+W T/Rs.
