When is Missing Believed Wiped?

[Mike S]

Simple question: Has a date been announced for MBW this year?

Less sinmple question: Will the Python 'Satan' animation be included?

Thanks

Nothing in the Sept/Oct NTF booklet, but this doesn't go right up until the end of October so it could be then/early Nov.

Sorry to post as a Guest, but the forum won't let me log in. I'm finding it increasingly frustrating as I constantly get a google message telling me it's unable to find the URL. I don't find it easy to use the new site at all.

But enough of that, I can tell you that MBW will be 29th November this year. I don't know what the final programme will be, but I'm sure Dick Fiddy will post news here as soon as it's been decided. It will be fluid until the last possible moment in order to find room for any last minute gems.

Yes, I saw Dick Fiddy in the Foyer at the NFT today, he said the 29th Nov.
No mention of the Python animation but he did mention it could include the Adam Adamant Lives just found (D for ....) , the first episode (not pilot) of Til death us do Part, a 1955 ITV drama, a BBC morcambe and Wise and posibly excepts from the Scot On series.
Hope I haven't said too much as about it isnz't set in stone yet, but I'm keeping the day free.

I can't think of any reason why 'Satan' wouldn't be included - it's such a legendary missing clip.

Thanks for info, everyone.

[Laurence Piper]

Didn't know the first Till Death even existed! That's a good bit of news!

[Mike S]

Is there still no confirmed programme list for this?

Missing Believed Swiped 2003

Introduced by the Rev. Ian Paisley

Part One

Moroccan Tree Plantations ABC Television 1964 – 16mm print of this Sunday Documentary, found in the BFI archive and here shown in its entirety (50 mins)

A for Andromeda – BBC recording - a 1 minute extract from the recently found Episode 4, from a private collection

Pre-War BBC Television – a ten minute 1937 extract of film recorded in Nazi Germany from freak BBC reception. Note: this item also unfortunately has a voice over by Hermann Goering about Bavarian sausage manufacture.

30 minute Theatre – A-R 1967 – ‘A final Twist’ – long though lost episode of this series, which unfortunately is missing the final 30th minute. The Rev Ian Paisley will shout out the last page of the script. (Latecomers will be sprayed with Holy Water.)

Question session – ask our panel of ‘experts’ how you can gain a copy of today’s sparkling items.

Part Two.

Spike Milligan’s Depression. – 1967 - a rare chance to see a close-circuit backstage 30 min reel to reel recording of Spike after he had taken half a bottle of Mogadon.

Boyd QC – Magic Moments - compilation of 43 separate prints remarkably handed back this year to the BFI by private collectors. This item will be introduced by the Michael Dennison Appreciation Society.

No Hiding Place – this unusual episode does not feature Raymond Francis or the regular cast, but does include a reconstruction of pre-war BBC, featuring a remarkable cameo appearance by Douglas Byng as ‘Doris, Goddess of the Storm’.

Doctor Who – Fury From the Deep – 16mm negative extracts – Introduced by Prof. Gerald Passworthy (the UK’s foremost Dr Who Expert and LRT Ticket Inspector) this item may be cancelled as it seems that the recent footage has been lost again and unaccounted for (a search at Waterloo Lost Property has revealed nothing). Replacement footage of Patrick Troughton on ATV’s ‘Stars on Sunday’ may be used instead.

I thought Dick Fiddy said it were going to be in December and it was going to be all-ITV?

The 2005 event is apparently.

This thread refers to the 2003 event ... long gone.

It'll be on November 29th 2003 and they may well be showing D For Destruction.
