Does anyone know how many episodes from this 1966-1967 ITV (ABC) series survive? I have one complete episode from 31/7/66 (Hosted by Tony Hancock, with Bob Monkhouse, The Rockin’ Berries, Jeannie Carson and Freddie ‘Parrot Face’ Davies) but I'd love to know if any more still exist. uk.imdb.com/title/tt0260600/epcastThanks! |

Is this the same series that had Ken Dodd starring in one. I have a reasonable copy of that one, in B&W obviously, with the VT Clock present. A good all round variety show. According to my diaries, my family and I were actually in Blackpool on holiday when this was shot. Mind you, I was only 5, so cant remember with too much clarity. I too, would like to know if any of these shows survive. Very atmospheric of their era.

I think the Hancock one is the only survivor.

According to Roger Wilmut's excellent book on Hancock, nothing else of the 6 or 7 shows which Hancock hosted has survived. That book though is about 30 years old! No idea if anything else has turned up since - I doubt it.

No, Eric, the Ken Dodd Blackpool Show was made by the BBC, the series I was enquiring about was made by ABC for the ITV network.

Doddy's Music Box was made by ABC at this time. That's probably the show you're thinking of. One episode of this survives (plus a short clip) too.
