Hi William ,if possible could you please have a look next time you do your research in the newspapers on the xmas day 1974 edition listings of Christmas rock with 45 ,only the time when a link was posted on here where it took you to newspaper listings ,I happen to read whilst the link was available that mac and Katie kissoon and neil sedaka were also listed as guests appearing on this xmas show ,no where else have I read this info ,only if possible could you please have a look to see if you can spot anywhere this added info for the xmas show please .many thanks mate.

Hi Jerry,

A disastrous day at the library today; once again I turn up ask for my order and it's mysteriously not there,I was told to wait an hour,then I go back, and was told that it had missed that delivery? and that it would be another 30 mins.

Finally, I get an order of sorts, not everything i'd asked for, I was not amused, anyway, one of the items that did'nt turn up was Look-In magazine that I was going to check out for you regarding your question about the Xmas 45 show guests, so that'll need to wait another week.

cheers
William

Thanks William very much for posting xmas day 74 edition of 45,i think it was the nme or another pop mag that mentioned mac and Katie kissoon ,the link to the mags was once posted on here ,it was online for a couple of days free for everyone to read then after that it wouldent let us access the site.

I'm confused when I looked at the Christmas rock with 45 billing that rosko was the show's former compere. I thought david 'kid' Jensen was it's only host & did all the shows in it's 17 month run. how did he do it? was he the first choice or if they did a pilot to '45' did rosko do that?

[jerryg]

hi Christian ,when 45 first broadcasted the show in the Granada region in april 1974 ,the presenter for the first series was rosko,and I think kid Jensen hosted one or two from the first series ,so that's why the article refered to rosko being the former presenter.

Hi Jerry,

Just had a look through the Daily Express and Daily Mirror for 25/12/74 and sorry no new news about 45 I'm afraid

[jerryg]

Thanks for looking again William ,I must say though over the last year so much more info for 45 and lift off as come to light due to people like William and others researching more in depth ,so a pat on the back for the missing episodes forum ,and all the members on here who have kindly added their own input ,many thanks indeed to all.

[jerryg]

just bumping up the 45 thread in hope that some more new info comes this way

[jerryg]

hi William ,is there anything in the daily paper etc for the first episode of second series of 45 ,for I think it was thutsday the 12th sept 1974,only I just wondered if there was any article anywhere to promote the first edition ,thanks mate.

All this constant bumping the threads up is really tedious!

[jerryg]

tedious or not mike ,it has proved in the past on this forum and others that it does work ,when a topic gets buried onto another page anyone new viewing the forum who may have some helpful info to add don't always notice the topic

[williammcgregor]

looking through the Scottish TV Times yesterday at the library I noticed this info

30/5/74 Atomic Rooster sang "Tell Your Story" and Ducks De Luxe sang "Fireball"

I could'nt see this info on Lost Shows,IMDB or within homepage.ntlworld.com/e.watkins/musictv/LiftOff.htm

[jerryg]

Thank you william for all your hard work researching 45 ,and this is definitley new info about the show apart from lostshows ive never been able to find much info out about the very first series if 45, as i dont think many tv channels showed the very first series ,thank you once again it is very much appreciated by me .

You're welcome Jerry,

I'll have another look through the Scottish TV Times for 1974 at the library sometime soon

cheers
William
