trawling back through the old TOTP Database records, this edition is listed as being in existence - a couple of performances appear to have shown up on TOTP2 over the years (Our Kid, JJ Barrie), but the Our Kid clip was repeated on 26th December 1976 so could've come from there.
I'd rather like to think it wasn't repeated because it was wiped*, rather than because the Glitter Band were on it!
Regards
Mark
* I'm not saying I'm glad it is wiped by the way, just that I hope this was the reason it wasn't repeated!

According to Pete Seaton's book the full edition exists, and as far as I'm concerned if Pete says it exists then it exists unless proved otherwise.

I can't see the reason for the "no show" being The Glitter Band when there had already been editions repeated with that band on, especially as the offending word connecting the two acts had been axed by that point anyway. Whilst I find the blanket censorship of all things GG ridiculous, The Glitter Band have not been subjected to any censorship that I am aware of. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YUBI2dFgIswww.youtube.com/watch?v=kbPzhiTB46o

A pity they're not slipping in ones they haven't shown! Could be worse though... could be a night devoted entirely to the 1976 shows they've been showing... that would be truly mind numbing! There was plenty of good music around in 1976, the way it was presented in the drab TOTP studio and the awful live audio soundtracks the BBC used are to blame for making many episodes from the era uninteresting. If you have seen any episodes of Hollands 'Toppop' from the same era you will appreciate the difference in studio decor, camera work and audio quality.
