No's 1,2,3, & 4 I got from the same source in the U.S.A as Keith Badman. NO's 5,6,7,8,& 9 All Bought From ZDF (Germany) for my OWN personal viewing. I DID on legal advice RETURN NO 7(Wings) as ZDF had sent the WRONG show; even though my order was correct. It also contained Hurricane Smith with "Who Was It?" from TOTP. BUT I HAD TO SEND IT BACK DRAT!!! No's 10 ,11, 12, 13 via J Cunningham 7 The Linkway Brighton. He advertises in `Record Collector` Check him out! Now Harry, Paul, Edward is that all right for you?

To Laurence Piper
Dear Laurence could you possibly list the 1969/70 TOTP clips you know of please? As you can see lower down the "Quashing A Rumour" board I am currently getting a right good kicking over what or what doesent exist; and have put up a small sample of what I have (Except ONE clip, which after Legal Advice HAD to be returned) Laurence those clips are FOR REAL. It would be great to know what you uncovered; I will understand if you dont wish to list them as this format is getting a bit `heavy` in my view.
Best Regards A.S.M

To Paul Vanezis
Dear Paul; Keith Badman is contacting mr Russell re all this Oct/Nov 71 stuff. I have posted a list of clips I can PROVE exist, but if you don't believe me it doesent really matter. I conduct much work in compiling facts & figures regarding old charts. I have had articles published in "Giunness Hit Singles" and "Record Collector" I am currently compiling two extensive works for "Guinness" Paul it is in my own interests to be truthful and have integrity. I sincerely hope I did not hurt Mr Russells feelings; I'm sorry if it seemed that way. I can assure you I have NO intentions of filling forum up with wild rumours, I would be shooting myself in the foot. I do hope you now can see what makes me tick.
Very Best Regards A.S.M Smith

The missing TOTP clips mentioned that were on the internet I listed here on this forum if you take a look. All date from 1969/70 and are missing from the archives.

The items you listed here have all been around for quite a few years now. All come from overseas TV.

Let us know what happens regarding Keith Badman contacting the BBC about this material. We await developments eagerly.

[Edward Russell]

These clips definitely do NOT exist at the BBC. I only wish they did and if they did, there is no chance that we would hide the fact.

Many (if not all???) of these come from the Disco programmes etc. Sadly, I can't talk about the background to the BBCs ownership of these clips because it's being dealt with by our legal people, but TOTP / BBC do not have these performances in their archive.

Dear ALL
Well its all going swimmingly. Mr Russell and Keith Badman are head to head, Paul Varnezis thinks the world of me and Pete Seaton is as happy as a sandboy at bieng dragged into our petty squabbles. I thought pete revelled in this stuff. Lets all join hands everyone and try to make contact with the living. Sorry Laurence I havent got used to getting round the forum to have found your list yet I'll give it a go before i'm kicked off. BUT NOW! I'm off to sing a happy song!!
All the best you HAPPY PEOPLE! A.S.M

[Harry]

what planet are you on, ASM? either that or i think you've taken too many drugs! i thought we were all supposed to be in this for a common cause of finding missing stuff and not bitching with each other.

[Harry]

Pregnant doging?? That wasn't what I typed originally!! How is it possible for my message to be hacked in to? IS that possible?

[A.S.M Smith]

Dear Harry
It wasent me. I have a job to find my way into this forum most times. Actually pregnant dodging sounds real fun! If I can get pregnant I'll dodge about a bit and see what transpires! Dont be angry Harry, life's too short.
My very best regards to you. A.S.M ;D ;D Oh Dear! tried to add a smiley and made a pig's ear of it.

what the hell is totp's archive material doing in the usa and germany?
i assume such material were sold to boost the coffers of the bbc?
if it is true then i think that is very unfair to do such a thing.
and now if we want to watch such material we have to buy alot of money for the privilege?
what swines!
