GoJos update The following is taken from the NME dated 30/3/68 page 8 Hostess Pet Southern-TV's "A Tale of Two Rivers" series-screened in its own local region last year-is to be fully networked on Monday nights from April 15th. The four half-hour shows, all hosted by Petula Clark, were filmed entirely on location on the river Thames and river Seine. Lulu, Marianne Faithfull, Mark Wynter, Claude Francoise and THE GOJOS appear in all four editions. Sandie Shaw and Unit Four Plus Two are featured in the first three. Adam Faith guests in the first and third programme. Dave Clark and Cathy McGowan guest in the second show, and Richard Anthony in the fourth. (end) Can't seem to find out anything about this show on lostshows.com , but being a southern tv programme sadly i doubt if it survives i'd be really suprised if it did. |

Thanks jerryg,
I remember "Lift Off" with Ayshea, but not the earlier version, I looked at the Wikipedia site for the show and there was something like 144 shows made but only 8 survive? or something like that, what a state of affairs!
so once again thanks, and I'll keep on looking for you
William

I think wikepedia have got the amount of lift off editions wrong ,i have been doing quite a bit of research on info of the show these last couple of years ,and instead of 144 editions ,it looks more like just over 120 ,this is based on tv times editions ,unless they are counting discotheque in their calculations,anyway i think lostshows etc ,owe a big thank you to william ,because he has now filled in info on missing editions ,where lost shows couldent provide any info for the shows early in 1970.
