There are three shows I remember and for which I can't find any record of whether they still exist or not. Does anyone know if they are still around, if only in part?
THE LONG CHASE (BBC 1972)
NANA (BBC 1967)
THE MASTER (ITV 1965 - can't remember the company who made it).
Also, can anyone shed any light on what still exists from PATHFINDERS? Last I heard the final three series all existed in full in negative with two episodes as positives? Is this true, and is it the same for the "sequel" shows PLATEAU OF FEAR, CITY and SECRET BENEATH THE SEA?

THE MASTER (Southern) listed as junked in Kal 97.
PATHFINDERS (all three) all listed as TR16 positives.
CITY AND SECRET...listed as all on TR16 pos.
No details for the others though.

I believe all three Pathfinders serials exist apart from the first ep of Venus (which only has a soundtrack). This was the state of play when I last heard about it anyway.

First two episodes (of 5) of 'Nana' survive... Blast! This seems to go against the general situation where 'quality' BBC drama has survived. I remember this series well, and remember being particularly frightened by one of the closing scenes in the final episode (which according to the above has not survived) showing Nana's face ravaged by smallpox. I saw it in 1970 - I can date it pretty exactly because I was watching it with a friend who left the area shortly after, so it would be around World Cup time. But the showing I'm referring to may have been a repeat, I suppose. Had Freddie Jones as the besotted rich man, as I recall. This is more than usually bad news. |

"The Long Chase" still exists complete - it was made on 16mm colour film, tx'd 25/9/72 - 18/12/72. Four episodes (1,2,4,5) of "Nana" in fact still exist - two came back relatively recently (well, late 90s) on NTSC. It was repeated in 1970, October-November.
