New Faces (ATV)

[Chrisdabbs]

Hi everyone. Does anyone know where I can source a couple of the programmes from the 1973 New Faces series shown on ATV (...particularly the All-Winners Show)?
If anyone knows of sound recordings made privately I would be more than happy!
Regards, Chris

Some editions of New Faces have been shown recently on the satellite station Challenge in their cult slot dont know which though

Hi Gary. Thanks for the reply. Yes I recorded those editions, but they were from 1975 and '76.
I believe the '73 series still exists in the archives, because clips were shown back on Channel 4 back in the late 80s.
In 1987 GMTV aired a clip as well, because the runners' up on the show - the band Showaddywaddy - were guesting at the time.

Regards, Chris

I think i'm right in saying that very few editions of New Faces survive, certainly there's not much from the very early period and only a handful from later on. A couple are around on Philips VCR, having been recorded off-air at the time.

In Channel 5#'s programme about Victoria Wood on Friday they showed a couple of clips from New Faces but they looked like VHS copies as they were a little fuzzy. I seem to recall someone saying that Les Dennis held a copy of the final he was in with Victoria Wood. Don't know if there's any truth in that.

I'd like to see again the 1973 episode with pop duo Bokkle Green if anyone has it please.....

I BELIEVE THE EPISODE WITH BONZO GOG BAND EXISTS AS THIS HAS BEEN ON YOUTUBE AND I'M SURE WAS SHOWN IN SOME DOCUMENTARY. THE CLIP IS BLACK AND WHITE AND MUST DATE FROM 67 - 69.

Here is a youtube clip found of Bonzo Dog performing on New Faces in 1966:

The 1966 series was tottaly different to the 1973 one.
