Tommy Cooper was in the first variety show from Lime Grove Studio G in 1950. The show itself doesn't survive, but there's some private footage taken during rehearsals. Does anyone have any idea where I'll have seen it? I know I have, but I just can't remember where. Missing Believed Wiped?

Could be MBW as I think they've screened some such footage in the past (I have missed a few of their events here and there and so I didn't see that one myself). Some colour footage of post-war of BBC studios in rehearsal has survived. I'm not sure of what this exactly consists of but could it be from this material?

A part of that footage could be seen on the Treasure Hunt section at the BBC website. That's where I saw it a few years ago.

The Tommy Cooper footage that you mention Kevin, is owned and administered by the Alexandra Palace Television Society and we have licensed the footage to a few retrospecitve programmes on Tommy himself. One of the last of these was broadcast on Channel 4. The film footage was also donated to the BBC Film & Video Tape Library, which is how it came to be featured on the BBC Treasure Hunt web-site. If you want to see the footage again it can be viewed on our YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/aptsarchive - here you will also find over 100 videos all concerned with BBC Television history.
