there's clips from 'time for blackburn' on southern television's 1979 birthday programme 'twenty one years' on youtube. i'd like to see more clips of the only surviving edition of that programme too.

On the (slightly) plus side, one 1968 edition of Time For Blackburn is held by Kal from an off-air domestic format transfer. It features The Who and Dave Clark 5 (and very good it is too). This was shown at MBW a few years ago. Yes, 16th November 1968 (or 22nd November LWT region). Did you see Arthur Brown on it too? Hang about... is there 60s TV footage of Arthur Brown I haven't seen? Can someone clarify please? |

The book "The Complete Chronicle of The Who 1958-1978" says they were on the same show as Arthur Brown, Anita Harris, Force West and Gene Pitney, tx'd 16th November 1968. It also says they were supposed to appear on 26th October but was put back to 16th November.
Maybe they DID appear on 26th October with the DC5 and then their performance of "Magic Bus" was repeated on 16th November???

May have been more of a focus on Keith Moon with perhaps location band work from The Revolution Club? Also TFB is the stuff of legend show where Arthur supposidly caught fire during his act. director Mike Mansfield was pushing the envelope even then. |

Hi Syd, In the NME dated 9th November 1968 it states Gene Pitney was on the show on November 22nd in the London Area only?In the NME dated 5th October 1968 it states: Dave Dee and Co; (sic) and The Dave Clark Five-plus interviews at London's Revolution club with Long John Baldry, Keith Moon of The Who Emperor Rosko and others-are featured in Southern-TV's "Time for Blackburn" when the show re-joins the full national network on October 25th. In the NME dated 20th July 1968 it states Dusty Springfield, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and The Paper Dolls have been added to this weekend's edition of the Southern-TV series "Time for Blackburn" and director Mike Mansfield is also including a clip from The Beatles "Yellow Submarine" cartoon film. So far booked for the July 27th show are the Dave Dee group, the Eclection (sic), Susan Maughan and The Flirtations.[/b] It now seems certain that several of the new ITV companies-which come into operation at the end of this month-will NOT be screening the Blackburn series. London Weekend TV and ATV-Midlands have already announced that they will not be taking it from Southern -TV. The series will, however, continue in certain regions-but negotiations are already in hand with the major companies, which will probably result in "Time for Blackburn" returning to the full network at the end of September.In the NME dated 19th October 1968 It states the Revised line-up for the first of Southern-TV's "Time for Blackburn" shows when the series returns to the national network next Friday (25) includes The Dave Clark Five The Dave Dee group (sic) The Who John Walker and Heath Hampstead. Set for the following weeks edition (November 1st) are Joe Cocker, The Hollies and Long John Baldry. Southern TV viewers will see these programmes on the Saturday prior to full networking. cheers William. |

NME dated 21st December 1968
The Kinks top the bill in Southern-TV's "Time for Blackburn" screened in most areas tomorrow (Saturday)-they will be featuring two tracks from their new LP, and introducing a special Kinks competition.
Also booked are The Casuals, Timebox, Grapefruit and Sue and Sunny. The Blackburn series is currently not being screened in the London region.

The Kinks lip-synched "Animal Farm" and "Village Green Preservation Society" on this show according to Doug Hinman's book. |

So the show literally featured "two tracks from their new LP".Sounds as though someone was worried about the Acts Description Trade.

"Full networking" appears to actually mean "Shown in London" in NME language. Of the biggest four ITV stations, the Yorkshire and Midlands areas never saw a single Tony Blackburn show, Granada gave up on it after screening 7 editions whilst LWT only showed 6 (though in LWT's case these would have included The Who edition(s)).
"New Release" began in 1967 (not early 1968 as somebody mentioned earlier). On 16th October 1967 they showed a special "insert" of "I Can See For Miles" filmed in Scotland and Keith Moon was apparently in the studio to introduce/talk about it.

Thanks Syd, Do you have anymore info about the insert The Who filmed in Scotland content,location etc.? meantime here's pics taken from the NME dated the 26th August 1967 concerning (trial 1) and the 14th October 1967 concerning (trial 2)   cheers William |
