Speaking of which, are the following races in any way missing from the BBC:
Dutch Grand prix Formula 1 Zandvoort Races: 1976, 1979-1982, 1984 (30 minutes each with commentary)
(And 2 hours of German Formule 1 race 1973 GP Nurburgring Nordschleife, not sure if this is BBC, think not.)

Edit: turns out a fellow collector has even more, going back as far as 1953, mostly English. If anyone cares to see the details let me know and I'll post a list of it here.

Yes, I think the BBC does have the 73 German GP footage, I have seen clips from it used in a few programmes over the years ; good quality VT.

This is all potentially missing TV coverage / footage listed above, is it (which is primarily what we're interested in here rather than home movies of sporting events, interesting though these may be to sports collectors)?

[RWels]

Yes, yhis is all TV coverage (with commentary).
Wether it is off air or not - I don't know.
