I would love to see the show return in it's original format (weekly), but current music scene doesn't have the 'turnover' it used to have, especially chart wise. Perhaps the beeb should consider a monthly show for the time being?.

Just archiving more betamax tapes today and noticed a clip of Rolling Stones - Let's spend the night together on a US TV retro special (i think American Bandstand-super night of rock'n'roll) from 1984. It was the chrtistmas 1967 clip but the print looked very worn and washed out!. Did the US tv company that made this show have it's own print i wonder?, if so, are there any more in their archives? Anyone know if TOTP was sold to the US in the 60's?

That looks very much like the US tv show 'Shindig'. But checking it does not appear that they sang this on that show. It does have the look of a US tv show. The other US show it might be from is 'The Red Skelton Show' 26th Jan 1965. (they sang this & Love Potion No9)

I'm continuing to archive my betamax & VHS tapes to DVD and was just watching a few clips from 'The Roxy' 1987. and i was wondering, does anyone know of a online listing of who appeared on this short lived Tv show?.

from Showaddywaddy.net 'Hey Rock And Roll / King Of The Jive, plus interview with Al James & Malcolm Allured Swap Shop BBC1 Broadcast in Spring 1976 - exact date unknown xx.xx.76'
Could it be from this ?

Just to confirm - semi-relevantly - that quite a bit of 45, presented by the then 'Kid' Jensen still exists in the BFI archive. But you'll need to search under Kid Jensen, and then go into his filmography. As far as i know only 15 out of 60 editions of '45' still exist officially. No exactly the majority unfortunatly Details here : homepage.ntlworld.com/e.watkins/musictv/index.htm

Jason; to confirm, Swap Shopwasn't on til 76, Hey Rock and Roll was a hit in 74 - so it could be a TOTP insert. I think we need the knowledge of Mr Seaton to confirm this.... The 'Showaddywaddy look' seems to be from the period 76-77, not 1974. I seem to remember them doing this on Swap Shop around that time. Anyone have any definate info from the BBC archive? I certainly does not look like a totp insert though.
