There are four longer clips on the BFI Screenonline site. However you can only access these from a public library system or via a registrered educational organisation. The last two on the site total over 14 minutes of the last episode. Here is the detail but bfi and A for Andromeda as exact match will find it via Google. www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/453217/ |

The clips I know of are-
title sequence 0:51
episode 2-the machine 0:16 & 5:18
episode 3-the miracle 0:24 & 1:40
unknown episode 1:02
episode 7-the last mystery (reel 4 & 5) 14:56
Anyone know if the 2:32 & 2:22 clips on that screenonline site are different or a part of what I've listed?

I looked online, but couldn't find a list. I was originally led to believe that only the title sequence and one clip survived, so I was surprised to stumble across the clip at the BBC Treasure Hunt site earlier. |

Oh, while I'm here, in the copy of The Andromeda Breakthrough I saw there was 4 minutes of silence right at the end of the last episode, which ruined it a bit. Are all copies like this or did I just see a dodgy one?

Hope it's OK to quote the soundtrack : John Fleming “I’m waiting for an intelligible message from space, and here is one” Light-haired man? “Is it intelligible?” John Fleming “Yes” Dark-haired man? “You can decipher it?” John Fleming “Oh for heavens sake. Look do you think the cosmos is inhabited by a bunch of boy scouts sending Morse code?” Dark-haired man “Look, what is this Dennis?” Dennis Bridger “Is this a message? Have a look” Dark-haired man “Let me see. Could be from a distant probe” Christine “Or another planet” John Fleming “Yes” Christine “Mars or something” The two men sound like colleagues/bosses of John Fleming so I think it might be from one of the early episodes (maybe 1). It would be good to watch the other clips. Has anyone viewed BFI clips at a library? Thanks. |

Having read the novelisation, I'd say at a rough guess the 1.02 clip is likely to be from episode 1, but I'm probably wrong as I haven't read it for a while. This link may give some more details: www.action-tv.org.uk/guides/aforandromeda.htm |

The Points of View clip is indeed from Episode 1 "The Message". The scene is set in the Bouldershaw Fell control room where Bridger, Fleming and Christine are discussing the import of the signals with the Ministerial official Osborne ( Noel Johnson) and Professor Reinhart ( Esmond Knight) ) the leader of the Radio-Telescope project. If we had a little more to view, the discussion between the group would have then centred on the need to keep the discovery secret from the press, with Fleming then recognising the inherent pattern (binary arithmetic) of the 'message'.

Are all copies like this or did I just see a dodgy one? I think this copy must have been taken from the tx print without using the separate magnetic sound track. Sometimes with 35mm film recordings, the actual film sequences are cut into the master material rather than inserting them by film recoridng them (which would lose quality). It that happens there would not be combined sound on that part of the programme. |

Colin Colin[/quote] Interestingly the PasB paperwork for that "Points of View" gives details for a clip from episode 3, quoting the recording number and cast members from that episode - but it appears actually to be from episode one. (Mary Morris is listed on the PasB but doesn't appear, whereas Frank Windsor isn't listed by does appear). Possibly a late change of plans by PoV... |

Isn't the complete fifth episode believed to exist in a private collection?

From what I understand, 2 reels of episode 6 (Tiger by the Tail) exist in the hands of a private collector. I did hear enough info to convince me that it's true.
Also, it's rumoured that some more material, supposedly a complete episode, may exist in the US.
There's an italian remake which can be obtained on VHS and sticks quite closely to the original story
I think the lack of sound at the end of Breakthrough is simply because the guy who originally gave out a copy into fandom deliberately took the sound off the last few minutes to mark it as "his" copy.
