Just watched the excellent programme on Bob Monkhouse and his private collection. Worth catching on BBCi if you haven't seen it.
Obvious question which Chris Perry may have some answers, what music performances have been preserved from the variety shows that Bob recorded?

Chris Perry is far too modest to mention it, but he gave an excellent account of himself, Kal and the Bob Monkhouse archive on Alex Dyke's BBC Radio Solent show yesterday. The interview can be heard in full here (approximately 1:45 into the programmme): www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00cv3v1/Alex_Dyke_07_01_2011/ |

It depends on which variety shows you mean Sal?

Thanks for the link, Peter. Interesting feature to listen to. The programme also contains an interview with Brian Hugg (brother of Mike), talking about Manfred Mann plus an ex-BBC technician who claims to have some missing Pan's People / TOTP material on 2"! Did you manage to grab his contact details, Chris?!?

Obvious question which Chris Perry may have some answers, what music performances have been preserved from the variety shows that Bob recorded? The following info from the Tony Rees pop diaries is of use sal; no idea what survives though. Sunday 5th March 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show NB Bob Monkhouse takes over as host The Kaye Sisters Peret (Spanish pop singer) Paul Anka Sunday 12th March 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show Trini Lopez, Françoise Hardy Sunday 19th March 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show (host: Bob Monkhouse) Shirley Bassey Sunday 2nd April 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show (moved to 10:05 pm in the ABC region) NB It was after seeing this show that Scott Walker decided a split would be a good idea. The Walker Brothers, Engelbert Humperdinck (due to be on the 26th March show, but the London Palladium Show had been replaced with an Aberfan charity show) Sunday 9th April 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show The Bachelors Freddie & The Dreamers Mirielle Mattieu Sunday 16th April 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show Frank Ifield Mirelle Matthieu Roy Budd The New Vaudeville Band Sunday 23rd April 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show unknown guests Sunday 30th April 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show Frankie Avalon Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen Sunday 7th May 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show The Seekers Lonnie Doengan Sunday 14th May 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show Vince Hill Sunday 28th May 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show NB Although Bob Monkhouse does his usual opening monologue he drops the topical gags as the show was pre-recorded the previous Sunday as the Palladium was being used on the weekend of the 28th for a rehearsal of the Ken Dodd Show Cilla Black – What Good Am I Dickie Valentine Errol Garner Sunday 4th June 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show Peter Nero Sunday 11th June 1967 ATV The London Palladium Show NB The last edition unknown guests |

Re the music collector on Radio Solent mentioned above, I've talked to Phil who has the TOTP on 2". It's mainly late 1970s he tells me, so may already exist. He'll send me a DVD to check the contents and if anything is missing, then he is happy to return it on digibeta.

2003 is now a long time ago in net years, the IMDB was virtually empty , the Muasolillim Club had just started, stuff like that.
Just whimsical speculation here, but if Bob had lived and got use to being online I reckon he would have loved places like this?
probably had his own web pages on old time stars etc and would have enjoyed being asked this and that about TV?
