It must be from 02/11/1972. Ed Stewart (Wiped Show), their first apperance on totp for Crazy Horses.

It's definately not 16/11/1972 that's exactly the same as the one shown on the christmas show.
That only leaves 07/12/1972 which according to common data is a repeat showing of a previous appearance.

Agreed.
Things need to change in order for 'lost' items to be preserved.
Many things that have been recovered have never seen the light of day since. Which is a terrible shame and very frustratiing for 'us' enthusiasts.
With all the great work done here and at KAL, there is still no way for people to view any recoveries apart from attending the odd event that shows them to the general public. But not everyone is within travelling distance and able to attend.

There needs to be some sort of iplayer/youtube type way, maybe by subscription or whatever of viewing these recoveries.

Copyright can be a right pain in the a**e sometimes.
Just imagine if there was a fire or some other disaster at the location of the tapes, they would be lost forever. They need to get 'out' into the public domain in order to ensure they are never lost again.

end of rant

"Peter Noone - Oh You Pretty Things"
That does exist and is not rumoured.
However there is a typo , it should read pans's people performance aswell. Thanks for spotting it.
It was posted on youtube a few years back.

As for 'rumours', they have to be very strong rumours and seen by at least one reputable person

and i do mark those items in RED until they become common knowledge

Most clips that have been recovered over the last few years start out as rumours or distant memories and that's how we find them isn't it.

If the BBC have this episode in colour why did they show the Strawbs & Gilbert O'sullivan clips in black & white on TOTP2?

The ZDF clip of Clair was taken from 12.10.1972 although it does look similar to the black & white TOTP clip. ;D

homepage.ntlworld.com/e.watkins/musictv/interest2.htm

The ZDF clip of Clair is identical to the performance on 16.11.72. As ZDF didn't air the clip till 6.1.73 then it's impossible to say what show it came from originally. It could be 16.11.72 or 12.10.72 or 2.11.72 or 9.11.72.

I'm guessing that the BBC are showing clips from 16.11.72 in b&w because they can't be bothered to restore it to colour.
They even showed clips on totp2 in b&w that are in perfect colour. (The Move's Flowers in the Rain from colour me pop being one).

It is just 'out of sync'. If that is a BBC copy then they have a colour version not a b&w version

Mmmm, well I had a right old whinge at BBC4 and notice that only 'nice' letters make their pages anyway, and though we all understand the need to fit the episode into their bizarre time constraints, why dont they simply show the un cut version later in the evening as the repeat?

Because that would require them to prepare two versions for TX, which in turn would introduce the risk of them playing out the wrong one by accident. It's easier and safer to show the same version in all slots.

It's the same reason as why UK Gold would put out cut versions of programmes in the afternoon, but still show the same cut versions in the post-watershed repeat slot on the same day.

UKGold had up to 3 different versions of the same show on occasions with various different performers being cut mostly to suit the schedule and sometimes for rights issues

The Sky at Night replaces it!. Does this mean it's been cancelled already!!!!!

Butchered and ruined. BBC4 could go on until 4.10 a.m or whatever??!! So why edit the 2.45 a.m repeat?? Knowing my luck the p****s will edit out the E.L.O rare 'Nightrider' appearance in a few weeks. I know it's on YouTube but I want to see it on TOTP in it's original way. That is the buzz of these repeats surely??

T.

Do we know how long the next episode ran for?

All the first couple on months Apr-Aug 1976 are 40 minutes long and the slots allocated for the next 4 weeks are only 30 mins long (7:30-8:00pm)

I've got a feeling this topic is going to get 'Red Hot' in the next few days.

The next 3 weeks time slots on BBC4 are 7:30pm-8:00pm.

All the next few 1976 TOTP repeats were originally 40 minutes long.

Never mind the onscreen DOG, I think i know whats coming........
