scaffold totp 69

[Paul Dorf]

they showed a clip of scaffold doing lily the pink on the one show saying it was from totp but it didnt look like the existing clip from the totp christmas 69 show. there isnt 2 totp clips in existence is there, it was from some other show i think??

[Mark Leech]

Looks like the same clip that TOTP2 showed in 2000 - from International Cabaret I believe.....

thanks mark! i guess they dont even have that totp 69 clip. there was a rumour a collector returned it to the bbc.

The Scaffold colour clip is from "Music Music Music" (1969).

Footage was found of The Scaffold (in colour) doing Lily The Pink as the opening track on TOTP Christmas Day '69, but at the minute only the last 30 seconds or so have been found amongst about 15 minutes of links, out-takes & performances from that show... Looks quite similar to the footage shown on The One Show with the band singing live & all in white suits

The white suits performance is from "Music Music Music", as mentioned above. On TOTP they wore black.

I was just browsing some music videos on you tube and at the start of this beach boys clip is the last second of scaffold doing lily the pink its a promo but is this a well known clip you just catch literally a second or 2 of the end.

This Scaffold footage is from the German TV show 4-3-2-1 Hot & Sweet - Musik Für Junge Leute.
It is said that the whole series was wiped although the Beach Boys & Scaffold clip obviously survive, there probably is more sitting in the vaults waiting to be discovered.
David Bowie performed on the programme during February 1968 before he became famous singing 'We are Hungry Men'.
This is said to be wiped, but they also thought this about his 'Space Oddity' performance on Swiss TVs Hit a Gogo until it was discovered in pristine condition (black & white) a few years ago.
Proof that one shouldn't give up hope!

I have the whole Scaffold performance in audio only from the 1969 TOTP Christmas show. It sounds like they had some fun, probably more so with the festive spirit of the show. I'll upload somewhere for reference if required. It won't answer the question of what they looked like, but would help rule out any clips being mistaken for the Christmas 69 TOTP performance.

I'm a little confused with this thread
The clip of Lily the pink found last year was i thought from the christmas 69 totp. The above link to the youtube still is from that performance (white suits). I'm sure that this is totp because the background and floor are identical to the Clodaugh Rogers performance of Goodnight Midnight. Or did 'Music Music Music' have the same set?

That picture is TOTP and the actual clip is incomplete. Music Music Music is fairly similar but with a different set (very light with dangling tinsel background).

Thanks Laurence
I've just seen the 'Music Music Music' clip and that clears that one up for me.

Another way of differentiating the clips is the hair and sideburns! "Music Music Music" is from early 69 whereas by the time they did the TOTP 69 Christmas special, all of them had chunkier sideburns and longer hair!
