abyone who has seen this show in its entirety might notice et the end of the show 6/6/68 saville is muted but clearly speaking and saying " see you next week for another edition of top of the pops" and that bit is used for the 25th birthday opening credits could that be why this ep survives and are there any more theories as to why its partly mute |

As the partial 1972 episode was found on the end of a tape in BBC scotland there's always hope, but I am not sure how many tapes are left to be properly scrutinised. AS

Have any more Montage clips been found fans? I think not  , but what about those 69/70 clips have I missed something, was their status resolved or is it still up in the air?  |

Doesen't seem so William. I asked Keith Badman could they be from the chap who did those 1974 clips; but he's not sure. Really hope they're culled from much more comprehensive surviving collection.

If Im right the dusty springfield clip is from the morcombe and wise show which does exist in full(the clip that is I don't know about the show) so possibly they are from comlpete clips or shows please please please one of the 69 xmass specials would be fantastic even just complete clips would be great or should I say "dollyrocket!!" it would be nice to see Leicesters own "Family", in a totp show but there you are we shall have to see |

There was another chap who got many taped shows from the fellow who taped reams of TOTP late 60's early 70's. He showed K.B Dave Edmunds TOTP clip "I Hear You Knocking" Sadly he went to jail for bootlegging.  |

and the clips, did they go to jail as well or perhaps the great land fill in the sky? (lip trembles) |

Sadly Keith has lost touch with this fellow. Keith has been trying to trace the two people who had this stuff for a couple of years now. Sadly only rough copies of the 1974 stuff are safe now.

however, if he was bootlegging, then there should be surviving material in the hands of the bootlegerers he bootlegged to?

Good point William. But it's apparent that people are shy of admitting they received these "Goods" after he went down, as the receipt of such material is technically illegal. So unless someone raises their head above the parapet we'll never know. I am going to ask Keith Badman if he'll tell me the name of the character who landed in the jug.
