All the BBC errors have been corrected in the book, and in an updated book further information will be included. Is there going to be another updated book? if so when?

Some confusion here sorry! The promotional film (in a field) for 'Flowers in the rain' was broadcast on 28/09/67 edition. It doesn't survive from this however, This is where the source for the you tube clip comes from though: >>>>>OCTOBER 1967 :Flowers in the Rain Promotional Film. The Move release an 8mm silent Home Movie film that has been shot and edited to accompany their "Flowers In The Rain" single. This precursor to the 'pop video' retails for one pound seven shillings and sixpence (black & white) or three pounds fifteen shillings (colour).<<<<<<<< hope i've made it a bit clearer

www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6o5F0s2SjQ - The Move-Flowers in the Rain 07/09/67 (Jimmy Savile), b/w: Performance David This is not a totp performance/insert. It's from a Belgium Tv show called 'Jazz Bilzen' Transmitted in January 1969. I'm not aware of any surviving footage of The Move's 'Flowers in the rain' performances on totp.

ie.youtube.com/watch?v=2r2i2Mq0twk&feature=related – Slade-Skweeze Me Pleeze Me (Promo Film) 1973 (Date unknown), b/w and colour This was never transmitted on TV. The promo was made in 1999 from clips from the BBC Slade documentary from the same year. (you can see one join at .30 secs into the promo). I still have the original that i made on VHS and then posted on 'WinMX' (remember that one?). It's amazing how far round the internet this one got!. Hope that helps clear this one up.

'Kinks - You Really Got Me' I Believe it was from the BBC programme 'The Beat Room' .
By the way, i noticed that there was a change on Christmas Day on the 'Watch' channel. Totp2 Christmas edition was scheduled in the evening, however they transmitted the 2007 Christmas edition of Top of the Pops. (Edited some links and songs out to fit into 60 mins including adverts). Is this a change of policy by the 'UK' channels to start showing 'full' top of the pops editions again?.

Good show but Dec 74 showed up when Slade was on surely it was 73? No Greg Lake but Quo,Tull were on and Kinks but i detest Steve Wrights presentation hes so false! Partly right, Yes Merry Xmas was from 73, but This Slade performance was from the 1974 Christmas show.

For interest, where did you obtain information on recordings existing at the BBC on your web site that are listed as “No” on the BBC database, including The Sweet’s Wig-Wam Bam and an early appearance of Suzi Quatro’s Devil Gate Drive? uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e-2aW4WEHSQ – Again, not a criticism, do you have any updates on 1977 performances existing outside the BBC? I’ve found very little for that year. The only upload I’ve seen is a performance by Sailor-One Drink Too Many, in b/w! from 10/02/77. All the information i've gathered has been either from 'reliable' internet sources, Youtube, and the knowledgeable people on this very forum. As for 1977 i havent got around to 76/77 yet, but the only performance i've seen is the sailor one from all the 'missing' editions. The Move's Flowers promo is still up on youtube, www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8lA80atSgQhowever this is not directly from totp, the promo was made to accompany the single and was sold as a stand alone tape. This is how it survives. More Move California Man -2g's & the pop people: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQEPYfXWWnIWords of aaron -ogwt www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoNkToIcogo

OK - in order here's the sources... Night Of Fear and I Can Hear The Grass Grow- Beat Beat Beat 1967 (German TV) - Awesome live performance... visual and audio proof of how amazing that original 5 piece were! They also performed "Walk Upon The Water" on this show. Flowers In The Rain - I'm not sure where this comes from but it was released on a BR Music DVD in 2005. It appears to be a live performance with the stereo mix dubbed on. Must be from late 68 or very early 69 - Burton is still with the group. Fire Brigade and Blackberry Way - Colour Me Pop, BBCTV January 1969. The Move performed 10 songs in this show, most of them live with 2 or 3 mimes. Great show which still exists in the BBC archive. Curly - Oh dear... this is a collage of various TV shows from over the years. It kicks off with a Jeff Lynne era clip... Jeff wasn't even on this. Only clip I've ever seen of this song is from "Beat Club". Brontosaurus - Beat Club 1970. Only clip I've seen for this song. Tonight - Disco 71, German TV. Again, only clip there seems to be for this song. Chinatown appears to be the only Move single for which I've seen no clip of. 'Flowers in the rain' is from a programme called 'Jazz Bilzen' from late 1968 early 69. and also 'Tonight' exists from Whittaker's World Of Music 71. The Move also recorded a promo for 'Fire Brigade' but that has never surfaced either. You can see a videography of surviving move apps here (stills only). and also a list of all the TV they did and what survives (under 'media'). homepage.ntlworld.com/e.watkins/

There were a few clips from Whittaker's World of Music on You Tube a few months back, but they seem to have been removed. One was The Move's - Tonight.
It's such a pity that so very little of The Move's Tv appearances survive in various Tv archives. Much of what is listed above is all that 'apparently' survives. Recent finds include a promotional film of 'Night of Fear' filmed in a London Fashion shop. (Haven't seen this one myself yet though).
