Most solo appearance Lennon made on TV have survived in some form or other.
As far as I am aware the visual exceptions are......
Juke Box Jury 22/Jun/63 - Surely this is lost, probably not even an audio.
Tonight 23/Mar/1964 - seems to be lost (His 1965 appearance survives though perhaps only because this was the last ever “Tonight“)
The Thames TV Eamon Andrews shows April 1969 “Today” and the late night “Eamon Andrews Show” - the late night show with a panel and audience survives on audio. Of the former, I’ve only seen photographs of Andrews joining them in bed.
How late it is 02/May/69 - discussing the “Rape” movie they had made, nothing seems to survive of this.
The Question Why 07/Dec/69 - “God slot” debate, if this had survived surely we would have seen something of it by now.
Simon Dee show 07/Feb/70 - This was Dee’s Colour series on late Sunday night LWT, the audio survives.
There is a b&w photograph which could possibly be from the show, John (cigarette in hand) is sat to Yoko’s left and there is a 3 tier glass type thing on the curved desk with glass balls on every level.
As for the Beatles, after mid 1963 it’s very healthy. Before that it’s terrible. Off the top of my head - after the Cavern recording - only one TV performance seems to have survived (before the period “She loves you” hit number One), this being the appearance where they are stood on tables with a mock Cavern behind them, it’s on Anthology (an ABC show I think, “TYLS special”?). The clip of them doing “Love me do” that you always see (and was included on R&R years 1962) was filmed something approaching 10 months after the single was released.
