That's great news Ray. "Every little Helps!" Just a pity that it wasn't a full copy of the 500th. The hunt continues........

Hells Bells, i thought that this sort of bulk wiping was resitricted to the BBC. I had no idea that so much of countdown was missing.

That's some great research Ray, thanks It would seem then that this is probably an isolated clip taken from the 500th with the original long gone. But it does beg the question.... does this programme contain any more isolated totp clips?

I wouldn't count on this channel staying on air unless they improve it!!!
I've just 'speed' watched the first 24 hours on sky+ and what a waste of time that was. They only played about 10 performance videos and several of them were repeated 5-6 times.
What a cheek they have to advertise this channel as the channel 40 somethings have been waiting for. You'd be better off watching the radio. Paul Gambaccini and co, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

This is a bit of a disapointment at the moment. Very few performances and some poor quality visuals & sound. Mainly archive film/tv footage. "material will be licenced from /bbc/itn source/eaglerock -and various other companys nearer the launch date." what happened to these licences? Hope it gets better than this.

No it's not the same as the one from the christmas edition which has David just walking around in a garden setting (can't remember the garden name at the moment. )(Kew?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=igs54heetSI

looks to me like someone has filmed this off of a screen That's what i meant to say. It appears that it has been recordered using a camcorder pointed at a tv. If this is from the 500th totp, then that could be another copy that may exist, this time in Austrailia.

I've come across this clip on youtube of David Cassidy singing 'Daydreamer'. The poster says it's an official promo for the single. If memory serves, i remember seeing David singing this on totp having just arrived in the UK and singing 'live' at an airport (Heathrow?). Now, the clip is poor quality and looks like it has been recorded using a camcorder of something similar, but there are some 'ladders' and other objects that could be at an airport. Could this be from totp? and the 500th? Anyone have any further info on this as my memory is not what it used to be www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q51ZqOxGsQ

I Believe that the collection has been verified as existing (can't remember offhand by who though). He wants £20,000 for the entire collection. He has said that he was not willing to split up the collection and seems reluctant to have it transferred to dvd for some reason. Perhaps someone else on here might be able to shed some more light on it.
We did attempt to get a consortium together on here to buy the collection last year, but it came to nothing. There were 'legal' issues and logistical problems with it. Can't remember how many we had but it was short of the number needed. The logistical problems were huge. It would require mutiple DVD copies of every tape that was in the collection.

Ballroom Blitz *potentially* survives, depending on how complete the 500th is in the PVL as does 'The Laughing Gnome' which is on the 500th also Slade's Squeeze me Pleeze Me is in the PVL (Private Video Library, still for sale - asking price around about £20,000) Beatles - Paperback Writer (in the US with a private collector - apparently)
