My archive tape contains the full show (minus Dusty) which runs around 1 hour 10 minutes. And then is followed by a second take of the introduction to the Shadows "Apache" (followed by the same performance). But just like Peter's, including German spoken bits? (I wouldn't be so skeptical if I hadn't heared completely opposite accounts.) |

I think the rumours of a longer edition go back to the abridged "yesterday" repeat. In fact it now seems that it doesn't even exist in Germany anymore (for a change). Still surprising that they didn't make a separate edit for each country, like they would for the early seventies coproductions (Engelbert, rolf). But that seems to be how it was. |

It may have been transmitted simultaneously to capture 'that moment' of leaving the 60s, and Germans who had been big fans of the music didn't really care if it was in German or English. |

Yes but I meant, why show the UK audience bits of the German presenter and the German version of a song? But apparently that's what they did. Who knows, maybe it was an organisational / contractual reason. Perhaps one that led them to do the next coproduction differently. (I'm just thinking that up here right now, it's not based on any proof.) (The Germans transmitted it 2-3 weeks later and because their copy doesn't exist anymore, we can't tell if they maybe edited it further or not.) |
