The Yesterday Channel have shown this several times over the past year or so
but I have never seen it with The Batchelors appearance yet.

I am a great music fan , and have been for over 40 years , and have never been surprised by the amount of hacking that happens to tv shows when major artists or groups are supposed to appear in these type of " retro " programmes, its ridiculous . I only wish they would realise that " real fans " of The Beatles , The Stones etc, will always find a way of seeing the edited material , and would rather see it legally, all that happens now is someone will track down dodgy copies at record fairs , et al and some guy in a raincoat ( u know what I mean ) will cash in , this goes for Doctor Who too

Didn't catch the most recent screening of this, but seen it many times before on this channel - the same butchered copy! From memory, whilst the quality of the 2" VT is very good, isn't there some quad scratches evident at various points - (the little white horizontal 'dashes')? ..and yes, I am pretty certain it wasn't a BBC kept copy... no surprises there eh?  |

Yes Laurence i quite agree but they have shown it before with all artists apart from Beatles in havent they.On bbc four i think. Iam sure you will agree this editing nonsense is stupid.Like a recent box set of fools and horses i got.the single dvds arent edited yet in the comlete box set some of these episodes are it getting crazy. I suppose its Beatles and Stones being greedy over copyright like editing stones brown sugar from xmas top of the pops 71! I quite agree with you about all the editing we have to suffer, Rob; I often wonder if we're ever going to see some of the stuff we love in an unadulterated form. None of us is getting any younger. Pop Go The Sixties has been shown in several different edited forms though, to complicate matters. Some have generally been in order and others have jumbled order. Not necessary. One screening had the Marmalade performance cut out, others have included the Stones performance, I think, and still other variations are appearing, it seems. When people are continuously denied a chance to see something in it's original form, you can't wonder at them looking to unofficial copies to get what they want. The lack of a sensible arrangement that allows us to be able to see programmes like Pop Go The Sixties intact just drives the ordinary punter away from official sources and into the hands of the bootleggers. That's purely the fact of the matter, for better or worse. |

It's a great pity they persist in buggering about with PGTS as, in it's full form, it serves as an impressive (and very even-handed) over-view of the sixties, something that really can only be created *at the time*. Something made now would no doubt concentrate a romanticised vision on "beat music" of 63-on - by including stuff like The Bachelors, Kenny Ball, Helen Shapiro & Adam Faith the makers of the show made a very decent job of summing up that decade of music. They managed to incorporate pre-Beatles pop (Shadows, Faith, Shapiro), trad jazz (Ball), MOR (Horst Jankowski, The Bachelors), "Groovy MOR" (the Austin Powers Orchestra version of Satisfaction) as well "all the usual suspects" and the edits serve to spoil the mix. The BBC should be justifiably proud of the show, and it deserves a repeat in full (ABCKO & Apple fees inclusive!) as a unique overview of a decade never to be forgotten.

Hi,
unfortunately, I haven't seen this show ever, but from what clips I've seen on BBC FOUR, I'd really like to see it one day in it's full glory.
I was wondering, if sending a request e-mail to ZDF Television would be sucessful in resulting of a re-screening it in Germany after 40 years.
If it worked with a 1968 Bee Gees programme ("Idea") on ZDF Theaterkanal, why not try to dig out this gem if they still have it in their archive ?
Just a thought.
Regards,
Oliver.

This appeared today on Cliff Richard's youtube channel (I guess the combined "problems" of The Beatles and Jimmy Savile make any official DVD prospects unlikely in the extreme!).

I was surprised that Pop Gear was released on Bluray in 2020 which features both Jimmy Savile & the Beatles. "Bookended by newsreel concert performances from The Beatles, this long-demanded music revue artifact from the British Invasion including The Animals, The Spencer Davis Group, Herman's Hermits, Peter and Gordon, and The Honeycombs-delivering their greatest hits. Songs include "She Loves You," "Twist and Shout," "The House of the Rising Sun," "I'm Into Something Good," "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," "A World Without Love,". |

The whole programme has been available online since 19 August 2021 but has only received 178 views. It has a total running time of more than 87 minutes, which includes the whole of the original broadcast in fairly high quality, as well as a couple of outtakes - the pre-announcement of a Dusty Springfield track that didn't make it because she was ill, for example - and a repeat of the final part of the programme from Apache onwards, but in inferior quality with 'sparklies'.
