I haven't been able to track down copies or info on S04E08 or S04E09 so we'll have to skip those for the time being. I do have a high quality copy of the following, though: S04E10Round 2Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (promo, 1983) Ultravox - Vienna (promo, 1981) Men Without Hats - Safety Dance (promo, 1982) Malcolm McLaren - Buffalo Gals (promo, 1982) Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart (promo, 1983) ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man (promo, 1983) Round 5Jam - That's Entertainment (promo, 1981) Roxy Music - Virginia Plain (TOTP, 1972) Chuck Berry - Nadine (live, 1982) Phil Collins - Don't Let Him Steal Your Heart Away (live, 1983) Aretha Franklin - Climbing Higher Mountains (live, 1972) Eagles - Doolin' Dalton/Desperado (Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, 1974) Round 6"Doctors" montage of b&w film clips (c) Filmfinders End CreditsThe Troggs - Wild Thing (promo, 1966) Very little "archive" footage was used in this episode. It relied heavily on promo videos from the previous three years with just a few seventies clips and one sixties promo to end the show.

This show from October 1984 was the last regular episode of Pop Quiz to be hosted by Mike Read. It featured only 6 clips that could be considered "archive" ( i.e. more than 7 years since their original broadcast): S04E12Round 1Paul McCartney - Pipes of Peace (promo, 1983) Junior - Mama Used to Say (promo, 1982) Paul Young - Come Back and Stay (promo, 1983) JoBoxers - Boxerbeat (promo, 1983) Tracey Ullman - They Don't Know (promo, 1983) ABC - Poison Arrow (promo, 1982) Round 5Richard Thompson - Tear Stained Letter (live, 1983) Pete Townshend - Uniforms (promo, 1982) This next one makes me laugh. Mike Read to Phil Collins: "Cap'n Phil, for you a good ol' clip of Martha & the Vandellas singing `He's a Walking Miracle`." It certainly would've been a miracle as they never recorded that song! Watch this mistake on YouTube
Limmie & the Family Cooking - A Walking Miracle (TOTP, 1974) Mike refers to this next clip as "Song of a Baker Man" ;D The Small Faces - Song of a Baker (Colour Me Pop, 1968) Otis Redding - Respect (Soul To Soul, 1971) Cat Stevens - Changes IV (live, 1971) Rolling Stones - Going to a Go-Go (live, 1981) I would guess the old film footage used for this song is totally unrelatedRonnie Wood - Seven Days (1979) Rod Stewart and the Faces - You Wear It Well (TOTP, 1972) Will Powers - Kissing With Confidence (promo, 1983) I can't see Health & Safety allowing this kind of stunt anymore!Todd Rundgren - Utopia (1974) Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell (promo, 1977) End CreditsThe Who - Join Together (promo, 1972) Although there's no screenshot for this, you do get to hear Mike introduce it before the tape cuts out. "That's it for the current series. We'll be back with a new series next year and also a Christmas Special. We'll leave you tonight with a great performance from the early seventies of the Who, down at Shepperton Studios, singing 'Join Together'."
Unfortunately, it was over 10 years before the next series!

I'm missing the 1984 Xmas special of Pop Quiz (someone must have recorded it, surely?) but here's the info on another special that aired just a few days later. It was the only edition of Pop Quiz to have TEN players - all five members of Duran Duran vs. all five members of Spandau Ballet. S04E14Round 1 was guess the intro.
Round 2 was a "Winter" compilation using b&w archive footage as usual.
Round 3 was the lyric round.
Round 4 was spot the star and name the backwards music.
Round 5 was the video round (at last!) 3 recent videos overdubbed with different music. Name the titles and artists.Thompson Twins - You Take Me Up (promo, 1984) Elton John - Passengers (promo, 1984) Madness - Our House (promo, 1982) Herbie Hancock - Rockit (promo, 1983) Culture Club - The War Song (promo, 1984) Yazoo - Don't Go (promo, 1982) Round 6 was the individual round.Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (live, 1984) Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love (live, 1983) Genesis - Ripples (live, 1976) Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (The Song Remains the Same, 1976) Grace Jones - Do or Die (live, 1978?) I've no idea where this footage comes from. There are several different videos for this song on YouTube but not this one...Queen - Jailhouse Rock (OGWT, 1975) Mike introduced this clip as Queen, Christmas 1974, but we all know it's Hammersmith Odeon, Xmas Eve, 1975 The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset (Christmas Concert, 1977) My favourite version of this song. It was great to see it in full in the recent Kinks at the BBC compilation.Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road (No Nukes, 1980) The Clash - Bankrobber (promo, 1980) Generation X - King Rocker (TOTP, 1979) Round 6 was the quick-fire round.End CreditsCilla Black and Marc Bolan - Life's a Gas (Cilla Black Show, 1973) That's it for 1984! Pop Quiz wasn't to be seen again until its return in 1994...
There are still plenty of episodes from the first four series of Pop Quiz that don't appear to be available anywhere! I'm still looking for: Series 1 - Episodes 3, 5, 6, 8 plus a complete version of Episode 7 Series 2 - Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12 plus a complete version of Episode 11 Series 3 - Episodes 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 11 Series 4 - Episodes 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13 Can you help?Either post details below, or if you prefer to remain anonymous, you can PM me here, or contact me via Facebook or Twitter.

I'm afraid despite suggesting this thread, I cannot add anymore. Neil, can you confirm what 'Crazy Horses' clip by The Osmonds is used in S04E13. Is it the bog standard version that is usually shown or the rarer black Elvis outfits with chokers?

Hi Mike. It's the usual "Crazy Horses" performance sadly.

I also have just end song w/credits of another episode from the first half of September 1984 - it's "I Feel Fine" by the Beatles; the Intertel clip. Just so I'm on the same page with you here, you're not interested in the shows themselves but just the archival clips?

Do the credits include who was on the show so we can determine the exact date? Just so I'm on the same page with you here, you're not interested in the shows themselves but just the archival clips? For the purposes of this thread we're just interested in a list of the clips used, although I know a few people who also collect the shows as well.

" Feel Fine" is the Intertel clip from a video source, with an added red tinge. Here are the clips from the 2-10-84 show. -T Rex "Get It On" (TOTP, w/Elton John) -Curtis Mayfield "Move On Up" (live, a more contemporary performance than 1971) -Slade "Cos I Luv You" (TOTP) -Specials "Ghost Town" (promo) -Human League "Don't You Want Me" (promo) -Soft Cell "Tainted Love" (TOTP) -Billy Joel "Allentown" (promo) -Hall & Oates "One And One (promo) -Family "?" (TOTP) (sorry, don't know the song. Lead singer is wearing a T-shirt with "anyway" on it) -Culture Club "Church Of The Poisoned Mind" (live) -Iggy Pop "?" (again, sorry, don't know It's OGWT) -Joe Cocker "The Letter" (live, studio, can't identify what though) -Robert Palmer & Elke Brookes "Everybody's Talking" (live, on film, played over end credits)

-Family "?" (TOTP) (sorry, don't know the song. Lead singer is wearing a T-shirt with "anyway" on it) This clip sounds interesting as I thought just about all their TOTP performances had been wiped. There is one that was shown on UK Gold, but his shirt doesn't have writing on... www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGF2e5JFdRI

Two Family clips survive from TOTP. In My Own Time is from an existing complete 1971 show (UK Gold repeated this in the '90s). Weaver's Answer also exists from summer 1970, courtesy of Bob Pratt.

It's here - for about 2 or 3 seconds:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr8reKUVXUA&feature=related0.17-0.19. It's the 27/08/70 performance of 'the Weaver's Answer', repeated on 10/09/70. The most interesting thing about this one is that it appears on one database as existing, basically privately. Whereas, that certainly wasn't the case for the excerpt that was shown in Pop Quiz. The youtube clip mentioned on Simon's last post:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGF2e5JFdRI - is In My Own Time from 01/07/71, repeated 22/07/71. The performace of that exists at the BBC in full and was shown on Prog Rock at the BBC. I shall email the Beeb abou the Pop Quiz edition with 'the Weaver's Answer' on it.

Thank you Laurence. I WON'T mail them now! Good to know it exists in which case (Bob must've liked Family, as another of their clips is a Bob Pratt one: - www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9qWZURH5Z8) - which is the song Dim from How Late It Is.
