OK people,there are a few places you can go to to see a list of Top Of The Pops that is held in the BBC archive.But how about a definitive list of TOTP that is known or at least thought to exist out there somewhere in private hands but hasn't yet found it's way back to the BBC.Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Ian Levine has 19/02/76 on U-Matic.
04/05/67 and 10/05/67 are rumoured to exist in a private collection in the USA. I remain sceptical.
Numerous clips also exist.

Thanks for the info everybody.By the way,what is the Private Video Library?Is it just what someone calls their private film collection that they keep at home?That's a lot of missing TOTP in there,all but 1 of the missing 1977 ones,which i believe is 10/2/77.Is that not thought to be out there somewhere too?

The PVL is a collection of open reel, U-Matic, Betamax and VHS tapes belonging to an elderly gentleman who I believe was an ex-BBC employee. It is up for sale along with the equipment to play it on if you have a cool 20 grand to spare.
10/02/77 is in the PVL, and I am led to believe also in the BBC archives, albeit the latter only in B/W. Hopefully Andrew Martin can confirm this. The PVL version doesn't state B/W so I would guess it's in colour.
