Can anyone confirm that the BBC has all the 1980 series? In particular, the first edition with Mark Hamill.
Thanks.

shame you can't ask aspel, I think that not all were kept, but perhaps the star wars connection may help its survival.

Thanks.
Hopefully it does survive. I've got it on a Philips 1500 tape and I'd quite like to bin it as long as it's not the only copy.

That edition certainly does still exist. There aren't many "Ask Aspel"s from the first half of the 70s, but they get more plentiful by about 1977 and I think most of the later ones still exist. The earliest one that exists is from 9/10/70, with guest James Ellis.

Just to answer the question properly, in fact the whole of the 1980 series exists (including, for DW fans, interviews with Lalla Ward and Peter Davison).

Many thanks, Andrew.
Do you have Jackanory from Dec 21 1972 ("The Iron Man" with Denholm Elliott), Jackanory Playhouse from 31/12/73 ("The Long Nosed Princess") and 27/2/74 ("King Thrushbeard and the Proud Princess"), "Search" from Jan 15 1974?
I also have a couple of of the first series of "Star Turn" from 1977 (Lionel Morton, Douglas Fielding and Lesley Judd vs John Craven, Chloe Ashcroft and George Chisholm is the only one I've seen so far).

The "Search" episode I've found is from 2/1/74 (recorded 30/12/73).

Apologies for not knowing how to "quote" but FYI all those Jackanorys exist.
There are film sequences extant from Search from 16 Jan 74, subtitle = Pocket Money and Part-Time Jobs.

Thanks for the replies guys. Shame there's nothing to return, but at least I can ditch the tapes!

Hi Louis,
There's not much continuity there, sadly. The majority of the tapes were BBC sub-committee viewing copies so have standard clocks or film leaders. The only continuities I've found are on Blue Peter and John Craven's Newsround recordings from around 1975-77 and I have saved these. Even then, I suspect from the recording dates on the tapes that these are dubs from PasB Quad recordings rather than true off-air tapes, so even the continuities will survive in broadcast quality. Still, it was nice to see them - I'd completely forgotten about Barbapapa!

Continuity or not, can I echo the plea above not to bin them. 70s childrens tv like this is wonderful stuff, and even if it does exist doesn't get repeated (Barbapapa, eh..that brings back a few memories). Rather than just chucking 'em binwards, why not chuck 'em in the direction of someone hereabouts with a suitable tape-machine? |
