Hiya All!
I've heard recently that the TOTP episode that The Sweet reached No.1 with Blockbuster has been unearthed. Does anyone know anything about this. I am desparate to find an audio track of the countdown and intro (Noel Edmonds I Think) to Blockbuster for a show I am producing. I would really appreciate any help you can give.

As far as i know the only surviving 'Blockbuster' performances are the 25/1/73 & 1/2/73 & Xmas Day 1973. The January & December performances have been shown more times than i have had hot dinners, and i haven't heard of any new TOTP`s turning up since the 22/6/72 edition was found at BBC Scotland around 5 years ago.

I think the 1/2/73 performance is the same as 25/1/73 but in black & white. The 22/2/73 edition no longer exists.

I've got a clip on my PC that purports to be
1973 chrismas - different take.
Intro by Tony Blackburn, outro by Noel Edmonds.
Let me know if you'd like a copy.

Yeah, sounds interesting!
Are you sure it's not just the regular 25/12/73 performance, Dave?

legend has it that the xmas 73 master is a bit extended as noel & tony cocked up a few times and there is several goes at the peters & lee outtake and P & L had to do it twice
no wonder the dogs legged it
the TV version was heavily edited

Thanks Dave.
It looks and sounds like the regular Xmas '73 performance/links to me, but I may be wrong.

Thanks again Dave!
that is the one I already have. I think it is the 25/01/73 or 01/02/73 episodes that I need with the countdown and Intro to Blockbuster. Anyone help?
