It's either that or 'You Really Got Me'. And possibly the Sunny Afternoon performance with the slurring audio. But if if they pull their finger out and show any of the Julie Felix performances, then I, and many others, will be sufficiently satisfied  |

Guys, I will try my very best to persuade the BBC get things either rare or unseen since original broadcast shown on TOTP2, but that's something I'm doing NEXT month. Remember the 1967 returned tape compilation. That's something it would be nice to see anything from rather than the stock 'sounds of the sixties' lot. |

How come it was broadcast HALF AN HOUR early. And wasn't even billed in the Sky Guide listings?
A colourful email shall be sent.....

Well....nice to see a few different clips aired.
I've never seen that Don Partridge 'Blue Eyes' performance, has it been on TOTP2 before?
Seeing the Walker Brothers singing 'You Don't Have To Tell Me' from 1966 was a real treat too.
I'll be sending the BBC an email thanking them for finally screening a few clips we've not seen for years and hopefully more will follow. Roll on The 70's.

The Walker Brothers was mentioned on my email to them, that I recall. Whether it got shown because of that is conjecture. But they do listen. Keep sending me suggestions. PLEASE!

Mike, the Don Partridge clip hasn't been shown on TOTP2 since 30th March 1996 in the Johnnie Walker days of the show, as part of their Recorded For Recall section looking back at 6th June 1968.

There is no chance of getting rid of the voiceover. It's like the 'speeding up effect' (I don't know its technical term) pointlessly used in documentaries. There was a truly terrible example used in a Newsnight report from China, where a crowd of people were shown coming down an escalator speeded up, then the film reversed to show them speeding back up the escalator, then speeding down again. Absolutely absurd, and added nothing.
But to return to the original point of my rant, it's a producers' effect which is not there for the benefit of the viewer, who has no say in its use. We are only the audience, after all, and don't know what we want.

Whats the history with the Walker Brothers clip is this a recent recovery? Worth watching for that alone brilliant. I share others thoughts about loosing the voice over and making the captions optional.
