Hi
I was wondering about the archive status of the children's favourite from the 1970's "Heads and Tails", with songs written and performed by the brilliant Derek Griffiths.
I used to love watching this first time round, and I certainly have evidence of it being shown as late as 1981 as I have the songs from an episode repeated at that time on audio cassette. It's long overdue for a DVD release.

Blimey! That takes me back... had almost forgotten that show until you mentioned it. Derek Griffiths was cool - always enjoyable, and now I'm wondering what's left of this particular show!

That's excellent news - now who do we contact to try and achieve a DVD release? An ideal candidate as part of the Kult Kidz series of DVD releases perhaps?
I've always liked Derek Griffiths - he was one of my favourite presenters of Playschool, Play Away etc. Does anyone know what he's doing these days?
