I've just finished updating the supersonic episode guide with all the 'new' research i've collated over the last year. It still appears that two editions are missing though. (although I'm amazed there's only two) ***Show 8 (23rd October 1975) ***Show 11 (13th November 1975) 23rd Oct 75 Edition is Missing from the Granada TV Archive. It may survive at the BFI. There are no details at all i can find for 13/11/75. Can anyone fill in some details for this one. Perhaps with TV times listings? There are a few more gaps in performances i'd like to fill aswell Have a look here homepage.ntlworld.com/e.watkins/musictv/Supersonic.htm

Details from TV Times (ATV edition), the date is correct. Could it be a repeat?

Just reading the christmas listings for 2009 and noticed that the TOTP 2 Christmas Special does not have Steve Wright. He's been replaced by Stuart Maconnie.

I've always had the impression that the ELO 'video' is a TV produced performance and not a promotional video. From the look of it, i think it's been filmed on 'video' not 'film' (film was common around that time), although it's difficult to see on many prints that are circulating. Yes this clip apparently originated from EMI's vaults, but did they get it from anywhere else?
Anyone able to see a logo on the camera's that are shown in the clip

Yes Pete, i think that they may have counted a few repeats aswell. Does anyone have a contact at einsfestival to point this out to them ? Maybe they'll show the remaining ones

What i mean is that the viewing figures and not as good as they thought they would be when thay bought the rights to show these '50' editions from the BBC.
I assume that they had to pay the BBC for them? and that they are paying some sort of copyright payments to the artists aswell ?
or are you saying that no money is invovled ?

great info Frank! that would be about 50 totp shows broadcast in all as originally promised, . By the end of the run they will have only showed 39 editions. with 3 editions they have chosen not to show for various reasons that makes 42 out of 50. Does that mean that they have not proved value for money? and decided to finish them early.

What a shame they don't continue at least until the end of 1976
