Good question!
I've certainly seen no TV material of Sarne in action, not helped by the fact that music TV material seems pretty sparse pre 1964 which was when he had his hits and moments of fame. Have only seen clips from the colour film he did with John Leyton - "Seaside Swingers"? Something like that anyway!

That was repeated a few years ago - in tribute to Freddie Garrity. Unusual film but great fun - a bit like Summer Holiday with a Butlins budget!
I seem to remember Mike Sarne been featured on an 80s Nostalgia show presented (I think) by Noel Edmonds was it called "The Time Of Your Life"? Not sure, but I think he performed "Come Outside" with Wendy Richard on it as I think it wasnt revealed for manuy years that she was the voice on the record. I can't remember broadcast dates except it could have been early to mid 80s (If I'm remembering the right show of course! - apologies if i'm not!).

I can't remember broadcast dates except it could have been early to mid 80s (If I'm remembering the right show of course! - apologies if i'm not!). I remember the Noel Edmonds show and seem to think that was shown about 1984 or 1985 time. Wasn't it that series where PJ Proby guested on one show and admitted he was married to a 13 year old which got a bit of an odd look from tidybeard? I do have a memory of Proby and Edmonds so guess it would had been that series. There seemed to be quite a few nostalgia shows in the early to mid 80's... Channel 4 had "Unforgettable" which featured various 60's stars performing their hits and there was one on ITV... can't remember the title but it was hosted by Mike Smith (the DJ, not the late Dave Clark Five singer)... all I can actually remember of that show was one edition where Mike McCartney guested, plugging his photo book... I remember him bursting onto the screen holding his book and instantly tossed it over his shoulder. Anyone remember what that show was called? As for Wendy Richard, her name actually appears on the original 1962 single of "Come Outside" which is credited to Mike Sarne and in smaller letters underneath "featuring Wendy Richard". Only at that time barely anyone had heard of her since Miss Brahms was still a decade away. Sarne is an interesting character to say the least... a terrible singer who was on Robert Stigwood's books along with John Leyton some years before Cream and The Bee Gees helped make Stigwood one of the biggest impresarios of his time. Sarne, like Leyton ended up going to Hollywood and had the dubious distinction of directing the mess that is "Myra Breckinridge", widely regarded as one of the worst movies of all time! And having seen it earlier this year, I must admit, it is a stinker!

Thanks Peter for clearing up the Wendy Richard confusion, I must admit its over 25 years since I saw this show so can't remember the exact details unfortunately.
You are right though this was a period of a big boom in nostalgia shows, I shudder to think how many of these have since disapeared because as well as including tantalising clips they were managing to interview people from these eras. I seem to remember watching these shows and seeing artists like Chris Andrews performing Yesterday Man and then going into my mothers record box and hunting the original singles out!
I don't recall the Mike Smith programme, but sounds like it would have been great fun!
While we are discussing Nostalgia shows anyone remember "Where Are they Now?" presented by David Jacobs?

Thanks Peter for clearing up the Wendy Richard confusion, I must admit its over 25 years since I saw this show so can't remember the exact details unfortunately. lol... same here. I find myself having to really think hard to recall shows from all that time ago and decipher details I can remember. You are right though this was a period of a big boom in nostalgia shows, I shudder to think how many of these have since disapeared because as well as including tantalising clips they were managing to interview people from these eras. I seem to remember watching these shows and seeing artists like Chris Andrews performing Yesterday Man and then going into my mothers record box and hunting the original singles out! Yes... it's easy to forget that some of those shows may no longer be around and like yourself, I'd see those artistes then go in my parents record box and dig out the original singles! One of my fondest memories was a lunchtime edition of "Calander" on YTV which was broadcast live from a shopping centre and the show ended with Dave Berry performing one of his hits... probably "Little Things". I just remember 1 - thinking he looked great and 2 - enjoying the song and that was how I "discovered" Dave Berry. And interestingly, the guy who used to play Seth in "Emmerdale Farm" introduced Dave! Must had been loads of regional TV spots featuring such stars, most of which I'd guess are sadly gone. While we are discussing Nostalgia shows anyone remember "Where Are they Now?" presented by David Jacobs? Sadly that's one I don't remember! hardly call him a terrible singer no better/worse than joe brown,tommy bruce,adam faith surely lol... fair point! But he certainly was no Cliff Richard!

I remember him bursting onto the screen holding his book and instantly tossed it over his shoulder. Anyone remember what that show was called? It was called 'Greatest Hits' and ran for one series in 1981/2. From what i remember i video taped a few performances from this series (Marmalade-Ob La Di..., Suzi Quatro-Devil Gate Drive, Dave Dee etc... - Legend of Xanadu, Steve Ellis(Love Affair)-Everlasting Love, Gerry & the Pacemakers - Ferry 'cross the Mersey & I Like It, Craig Douglas - Only Sixteen.) The show also showed some archive clips from the ITV archive.

Thanks for that Paul! It would be 1982 because I remember watching it at our "new" house and we moved in August 1982. Nice to be reminded of who appeared on it and I can recall seeing Suzi Quatro, Gerry and Dave Dee.

Any tv stuff he was in surviving? It looks as though Mike Sarne's early material must be very rare, as visually, this is all I can find: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qTKuiK_mBeY – Love Me Please from “Every Day’s a Holiday” www.imdb.com/name/nm0765398/ - This lists Mike's television appearances. I'm not sure how many of Mike's appearances exist, but very likely the editions of Minder, Spender, Howard's Way, Jonathan Creek and The Bill among other more recent appearances would most likely exist in the archives In contrast to the above, here are two of several 7” record uploads of Mike: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5aMIAiseHP4 – Come Outside (with Wendy Richard) uk.youtube.com/watch?v=to9A1nJoCgM - Just for Kicks: Mike’s third of four chart hits profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=74538943 - On this, you'll find all 4 of Mike's hits in audio: Come Outside, Will I What, Just for Kicks and Code of Love

Thanks Dave There is a promo film added on my CD but dosent play on my DVD. You're welcome, Stephen. Sorry to hear about your DVD dilemma. The only alternative I can think of is that, if you have one, to try out your recording on another DVD player. I'm not sure if this will work but I hope this helps.
