Hi all
Does anyone know where that rehearsal footage on You Tube from the Christmas 1969 show actually came from?
Is there any more footage like this from edition anywhere at all??

It's not actually from the show as transmitted but a rehearsal of same (looking pretty much like the version that went out though - minus some of the audience, that is!)

Clodaugh Rogers is from the rehersal tape but Lulu's clip is from 'Pop Goes The 60's'.

I think its from a production - studio - VT; including the rehearsal and transmitted footage; before either it was edited; or part of the same tape that wasn't transmitted. As a number of excerpts of acts from the actual show exist this would amke sense. |

Most of the substantial segments existing are from the rehearsal rather than the transmitted actual show as there are studio spaces left for the audience to occupy on the final recording, as with the Sandie Shaw "Long Live Love" rehearsal of a few years before.

There did appear briefly on YouTube a few months ago the final part of Scaffold performing "Lily The Pink" from this show. I may be wrong but I think it had a Pete Murray outro and he then introduced Clodagh Rodgers. The Clodagh performance was also on YouTube with a brief split second flash of Murray at the start.
Don't forget that the Marmalade performance was repeated in "Pop Goes The 60s" as was, I believe the Stones' "Honky Tonk Women", so there is a few bits of this legendary Xmas 1969 show in existence.

Well, this is a new one on me.... words truly fail me.
Some guy has uploaded a whole batch of TOTP clips... nothing unusual in that - it features the Xmas 69 opening titles but here's a new twist... This chap unaware you can download YouTube clips has clearly filmed them off YouTube with a videocamera and uploaded the results. They look and sound absolutely awful!

The mind absolutely boggles... if you want to see and hear what T.Rex, Free, Human League and many others look like filmed off a TV screen, now here's your chance...

That picture quality reminds me of Sunday mornings in the late 60s / early 70s ? We lived ( and still live ) in Lancashire and on Yorkshire Television was the brilliant series LAND OF THE GIANTS. Used to sit and watch it though, and the picture quality was about the same. Incidently, is that series commercially available now or any episodes doing the rounds ?? Used to love that.

Er, well Im actually positive I did. Not doubting your undoubted knowlege about the re-runs but for whatever reason, I never caught them. All I remember is not being able to pick up a clear picture for the show. The same applied for Planet of the Apes and also in the late 80s / early 90s, the Yorkshire Rugby League show "Scrumdown". In the "hollow" where we live, before the advent of Sky TV, TV reception was just crap. Up to the mid 70s, we had a job picking BBC 2 up ! In fact, if the Sunday afternoon cricket on BBC 2 featured a good one day game, I had to travel to Billinge to an Uncles house.
In fact, even now, Channel 5 looks like that blokes pictures on YOUTUBE.
Thanks to the Guy who sent me this link via e-mail about 10 minutes ago re : Land of the Giants
DVD
All 51 episodes were released on DVD in a limited-edition 9-disc Complete Series release on July 24, 2007 from Fox Home Entertainment. This includes the un-aired original pilot, which has some differences (extra scenes but not others later added to the aired version) and score music familiar to Lost In Space fans.

SORRY I have to apologise to you as I read you wrong - I thought you meant it came from the TV station like that? Yes UHF reception took some getting use to in those days as one fraction of an inch turn of the aerial (or a cat on the roof) and the picture became snow. after being used to VHF 405 which in some areas you could pick up clear on a broken coat hanger. maybe a bit like digital today?  ,,,, |

Youre not wrong, my Dad was on the roof every other day, you could hear his swearing all around the estate !

Only trouble is....If I want to re-create my childhood, itll mean me borrowing the wifes glasses and sandpapering the lenses.
