so many wasted opportunities, surely a series of well put together TOTP2 shows with an hour of one act in focus can cull all the lost footage and bits and pieces on one show (no matter how bad it could be)

Jethro Tull - The witches promise (Studio) (TOTP 29/01/70) in colour with saville intro !!!!!!!!!! Something I always wanted to ask over here: Has the coloured show of this TOTP episode ever been shown anywhere in its complete form ?? I loved the bits I've seen from it and wonder if it's available somewhere ? ! Regards, Oliver.  |

Hi Oliver - the show has never been screened in full in colour that I am aware of. 4 complete clips from 29/01/70 (Jethro Tull, Badfinger, Blodwyn Pig & Rare Bird) have been shown in full on the French ARTE channel re-screenings last Summer which I think are currently going around again at the moment. The condition of these is sensational. Another highlight on the French re-screenings has been seeing the rare Pickettywitch "Sad Old Kinda Movie" colour performance from the lost 09/07/70 show. Did any of these clips ever get an airing in colour on TOTP2 if anyone knows?
I am sure it has been mentioned in the forums somewhere here that the entire 29/01/70 episode now exists in full in colour including all the Jimmy Saville DJ links? If this is true then it is a shame it was not that version shown on the Einsfestival repeats earlier this year?

I believe there was a colour compilation tape at the bbc of various snippets from 1970.

I'm pretty sure, that they have been re-coloured from the black & white editon and I was asking myself the same question as you when Eins Festival broadcasted this show in b & w. I think it was originally still recorded in black & white at the time, as the legend in the endcredits only listed "BBC television" instead of "BBC colour-tv". Regards, Oliver. |

If this is true then it is a shame it was not that version shown on the Einsfestival repeats earlier this year? You should be able to find long threads on this subject on the site but the edition only exists complete in b/w. Colour clips exist of several parts of the show in addition. Tests have been carried out on the b/w print to subject it to the new colour recovery process (to extract the colour information from the chroma dots present on the recording) to good results by the Dr.Who restoration team but as yet the process is time-consuming / expensive and no further work has been undertaken (very sadly as i'd like to see those 1970 TOTP prints to full colour and Vidfired). I hope that the colour recovery process doesn't get forgotten... |

Just been looking through some editions of AVRO's toppop non-stop and it has the Rubettes performing Sugar Baby Love from top of the pops.
Anyone know of any other totp clips that were shown on toppop.
I assume there must have been some agreement to cross show between totp & toppop since totp did show some toppop clips aswell.(hues corporation-rock the boat for one).

That's interesting Paul. Is it definitely from TOTP?
The 27/12/74 performance is still in the BBC archives but the 4 from earlier in the year are wiped.
Is there an audience in the clip?

Elvis Costello & the Attractions-Watching the Detectives 24/12/1977
Madonna-Holiday 22/03/1984In fact not to many Top of the Pops clips were used, often if the artist couldn't go to the Toppop studio Toppop would go to the artist.
For example Toppop went to Athens to film Demis Roussos, they went to Birmingham to film the Electric Light Orchestra & they went to Cliff Richards back garden in London to film 'Power to all our Friends'! |
