Hi I've got a tape of an off air recording from Pebble Mill, I think. The recordings on the tape are pretty chronological and the Pebble Mill recording is situated between a prog broadcast in Nov 74 and an episode of the David Nixon Show of May 75, making the Pebble Mill episode probably dating from Dec 74 to April-May 1975. I've posted a screen grab of the presenters here, if anyone can confirm: picasaweb.google.co.uk/john.armer/Presenters?authkey=DbjRek6p1woThanks John |

Thanks for the answer, beescats. I have quite hazy recollections of Pebble Mill - I was only 12 when it went off air, but the big window in the studio looking out onto a road struck a chord with me.
I should have explained more about the clip - It's a recording of a couple of performances by a 70's group The Fivepenny Piece who were guesting on the show. The recording came via one of the band members. I did look at the infax catalogue but their appearance wasn't listed. Would there be any way to find out when they appeared and if my guesstimate of very late 1974 - first quarter of 1975 is correct?
Incidentally, the clip on the tape before the Pebble Mill clips is from an episode I now understand to be lost - George Hamilton IV and Other Folk from 27/11/74. Can anyone confirm if this is still in the archives? Once again, the clip only shows the band but has some banter with George Hamilton before the group sing their second song.

Interesting stuff! Are there any other bits on the tape(s)?

There's a fragment of Ken Dodd's New Year's Eve special of 1975-76, Lots of bits of That's Life from 1976, an episode of The Camera and The Song from 08/03/76 (a series that should be released on DVD, I reckon), a clip from Seaside Special (not one of the ones that seem to turn up regularly on DVD-R on ebay), an episode from Rhythm on 2 (23/08/78) and even 'A Musical Railway Celebration' from 14/09/80 with Colin Welland!
Would be interested if anyone knows the TX date of the Pebble Mill shows though.
John
