Not sure if this info is correct but did 'the Move' appear on top pop , TV-Byen, Gladsaxe, on 20th May 1967. and does it survive in the archive?

Dave, I've spoken to the main guy from 'Reeling in the years' who's responsible for the wonderful recent DVD releases (Small Faces, Dusty etc..) and he says that they'll never do a 'Kinks' one (Ray?) or a 'Move' one (ridiculous money being asked for footage clearance. .........(as well as The Move) so there's a lot less footage out there of certain classic bands than people think. :-( T. I've come across this situation on a Move DVD release before, but how do companies such as BR music & European broadcasters show the Move footage so often there? I know that the 'known' Move footage is sparse but over the last year alone some of my research has identified Move TV appearance's in Sweden and on French TV from 1967 that still exist there. There are also 'promotional' videos that surely can't be that expensive to licence?. Is it the BBC footage that is the expensive stuff?

Laurence you're probably right, now i think of it. On the Buses being a classic example of mid season b/w episodes due to the strike.

I remember reading somewhere that during 1973 the BBC & ITV resorted to filming some shows in b/w due to the energy crisis at the time. or was i reading a made up story maybe?. Anyone have any info on this at all?

There are no entries on the totp database for this group/song i'm afraid

Peter, i totally agree with that point. The problem is that very few people on this forum would have seen the original transmissions and the information of who was on toppop is not readily available. The database for toppop is no longer online and even when it was the only way of searching it was individual acts/songs. It would be nice to have a webpage on Toppop & hits a gogo to see what was on it and what's missing.
If anybody has that info, i'd be more than willing to create the listings for this forum.

Just been looking through some editions of AVRO's toppop non-stop and it has the Rubettes performing Sugar Baby Love from top of the pops. Anyone know of any other totp clips that were shown on toppop. I assume there must have been some agreement to cross show between totp & toppop since totp did show some toppop clips aswell.(hues corporation-rock the boat for one).

Mark A while ago there was a complete edition of one of the Arrows TV shows on the net (can't remember where) but you're right it wasn't that video of 'Touch too Much' that was in that edition. It was this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_PiRsQuxzUIt is definitely not TOTP though. It looks very similar to, especially the background, The Shadows - Let me be the one video that was shown on 'Shang-a-Lang'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMDwyAWkakw

Here's 2 big 60s hits I would doubt there is any footage of. Zombies: Time of the Season (group was all but defunct by the time it broke big) Otis Redding: Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. (Issued just after his death.. did he ever play this one live?) Never seen the Zombies track but Otis's Dock of the Bay, wasn't there a colour tv app with him 'sitting' on the dock of the bay. Possibly American Bandstand? or am i thinking of another song? Didn't he die a week after recording this track? and if so it was highly unlikely he sang it on TV

That's great! Even the odd orphan clip is more than welcome. Hope he finds some more treasures
