Burns! We need a Missing Episodes OG Update - STAT!

The Power of The Daleks animation is a smokescreen for the real episodes. The parsing of the press screening proves this. A dingo buried Evil of the Daleks. The fight for funding to dig up a football field in New Zealand to find The Crusade continue. ITV secretly has The Feast of Steven again. Phil Morris is being paid not to give us episodes.

Meanwhile ITN have secret off-air copies which is proven by SECRET VAULT REFERENCE NUMBERS.

Meanwhile elsewhere "something is happening".

Otherwise it is surprisingly quiet.

'DISCOVERY 87: Out of this World – Specially-filmed trailer. ABC tx: 6/7/1962
with Boris Karloff.
Shown the day before ‘Little Lost Robot’ was transmitted, this trailer was made by Boris Karloff to introduce the concept of science-fiction plays to an audience more used to kitchen sink drama from ABC.
16mm telerecording.
Steve Birt and Tim Disney played a major part in this recovery.
People attending Missing Believed Wiped Central tomorrow will have the opportunity to see this trailer as a late addition to the running order just before Late Night Horror.'

DISCOVERY 108: Associated Rediffusion Corporate Film - tx: 29.12.1960

I hope people will see the reasoning behind why we are announcing this film today, since its another seasonal tie-in.

Simon Coward has provided a detailed analysis of this film:

An Associated-Rediffusion production with a difference. Originally Kaleidoscope believed this was an admag, but upon transfer and watching the telerecording, it is clear that this is not an admag.

You get a quick view of the outside of the A-R offices and the briefest of shots of their “Mitch” clock (both of these moving, not still photos) but these are part of the production not any continuity - we think they’re supposed to establish the production’s credentials as being live, and it makes great play, at the start, of the time being midday on Thursday 29th December 1960.

It runs for around 38 minutes and takes the form of a sales conference. We get the idea that the conference was being beamed to various D & W Gibbs offices around the country – it certainly seems to be aimed at other members of the company rather than the public. Reginald “Reg” Marsh introduces the programme but as far as we can see he’s the only performer and everyone else is a genuine D & W Gibbs person, though we could be wrong.

There’s an “Associated-Rediffusion presents” caption at the front and an “An Associated-Rediffusion Network Production from London” caption at the end.

There’s no other continuity or presentation on the film, but if it really was shown at the time it specifies that would have been way outside A-R’s normal hours of operation (which on normal weekdays around this point didn’t usually start until 4:45 pm and Small Time).

16mm telerecording.

With thanks to Steve Birt and Simon Coward in unearthing this fascinating piece of television.

16mm film.

DISCOVERY 107 - Jazz at The Maltings - Buddy Rich and his Orchestra tx: 10.10.1968.
Produced and directed by Terry Henebery.

A delightful and unexpected announcement today, made entirely by Ray Langstone whilst trawling youtube.

The first few minutes are missing from the videotape copy but in essence you have most of the 1968 show.

Ray has posted about this elsewhere but I think its an incorrect tx date on those other posts. The 27.12.1968 show was a compilation of many different acts and directed by Vernon Lawrence.

This recording is clearly only Buddy Rich for the whole 25 minutes and is directed by Terry Henebery, which affirms in my view that its the 10.10.1968 edition.

Still wonderful nonetheless and thanks to Ray we now have a way to contact the owner and try to secure a better copy for the BBC

DISCOVERY 113: Z Cars – Truth or Dare tx: 3.10.1962 BBC

Written by Leslie Sands, directed by Eric Hills.

With Joseph Brady, Brian Blessed, Leslie Sands, Stratford Johns, Leonard Williams, Arthur Skinner, Diana King, David Kirk and Barbara Ashcroft.

Genome synopsis: The violent death of a small shop-keeper brings Superintendent Miller into Victor Division and into conflict with Chief Inspector Barlow, who has his own solution to offer.

16mm telerecording.

With thanks to Steve Birt for his help with this recovery, the first of a week-long set of new announcements.

DISCOVERY 114: Cilla – tx: 26.3.1968 BBC 1

Written by Ronnie Taylor, produced by Michael Hurll

With Cilla Black, Roy Hudd, Freddy Davis and the Dudley Moore Trio. Dudley Moore is excellent inter-acting with Cilla and tinkling the ivories.

One of the very first discoveries made by Richard Down was an edition from the first season of Cilla, way back in 1985. Tonight we announce finding the final edition of that first BBC series.
16mm telerecording.

With thanks to Steve Birt for his incredible support to facilitate this recovery.

DISCOVERY 115: The Dickie Henderson Show – The Quarrel tx:30/1/1963
Harry Foster TV Productions for Rediffusion

Written by Jimmy Grafton and produced by Bill Hitchcock

With Dickie Henderson, June Laverick, Lionel Murton, John Parsons and Sheila Hancock.

A great sitcom from a great star. One of the true stars of Rediffusion’s variety and comedy output.

16mm telerecording.

As always Steve Birt helped with this recovery.

DISCOVERY 126: The Blackpool Show – tx: 19.6.1966 ABC
With Tony Hancock as Compere
For the full story of this remarkable audio-only find listen to Podcast Episode 4 of From the Archive. It’s an incredible tale of how something can lie in an archive for 20 years without being identified.
Kaleidoscope is delighted that we are working so closely with the Tony Hancock Appreciation Society and Tristan Brittain-Dissont to try and highlight the superb work they are doing in searching for Hancock’s lost work.
Audio reel transferred to digital file.

DISCOVERY 127: Lonnie – tx: 21.1.1970 ATV
With Lonnie Donnegan, Freddie Davies, Linda Scott, Jerry Stevens and Bobby Hayes.
If readers search through our past discoveries they will see that last year the BFI transferred a pile of CV32 reel to reel videotapes of missing Bachelors shows which had been loaned to us by Freddie ‘Parrot Face’ Davies.
The BFI duly returned the tapes. I noticed that one of them – Lonnie – had been ignored. I was informed that it existed and did not need to be transferred. I am not sure how or why they knew that, but Tim Disney soon checked and established it was a missing 1970 episode.
Sadly by then Steve Bryant had retired and the BFI shut its doors to helping us. Undaunted we approached an expert in various obsolete formats and it has now been transferred. The same expert is now trawling all the reels and discovering extra missing footage that the BFI ignored, including a rare testcard. Those finds will be announced once the transfer is completed.
The recording includes David Hamilton in-vision, commercials and a wonderful trailer for the TV Times showcasing the start of a new LWT drama series called Manhunt.
Some of the footage was screened at the Test Card Circle Event yesterday; and more material will be seen at the Kaleidoscope MBW Pop Special event on 22nd July 2017 in London.
Our thanks to Kevin Smith for facilitating the loan of these reels from Freddie.

DISCOVERY 128: Comedy Playhouse – Seven Year Hitch tx: 28.6.1966 BBC 1.
Written by Fred Robinson, directed by Vere Lorrimer
With Harry H. Corbett, Joan Sims, Derek Royle, Dawn Beret and Kenneth Nash.
Discovered amongst a pile of audio reels donated to the Tony Hancock Appreciation Society, this audio soundtrack to the television pilot is discussed more fully in Podcast Episode 4 of From the Archive.
Audio reel transferred to digital file.
Our audio finds will continue tomorrow night with more returns from Robert Smith and Kevin Smith (no relation!) ……

DISCOVERY 129: The Black and White Minstrel Show tx: 26.4.1964 BBC1
with the Black and White Minstrels.
Robert Smith has finished his restoration of this audio soundtrack and has now delivered it to the Kaleidoscope Archive. He has also donated three other fragments, two of which he has dated to 5.4.1964.
We are very grateful to Robert for his continued efforts.

DISCOVERY 130: It’s Sunday Night – tx: 14.9.1969
With David Jacobs, Spike Milligan, Jerry Lewis and Veronica Lake
Kevin Smith continues to find audios of missing TV soundtracks and this is an early LWT chat show that has been completely missing before now.
We have also transferred a Radio 3 show called A Portrait of Basil Vacuum tx: 8.8.1968 but we don’t know if this is lost or not.

We all want old programmes returned to the archive*, but let's stick to facts. The constant 'I know stuff but won't say how' chatter on OG is tiresome.

-Ralph

*Even though most of it is never shown again or made commercially available anyway. I've only been able to see the Peter Cushing version of 1984 and episodes of Out of the Unknown because folk put them on youtube!

Yes, that is shocking. The Cushing version of 1984 is my favourite out of all the adaptions.

I'm told that 1984 is due to go out of Copyright c2020 so the Orwell estate will no longer have any control on the release of the recordings.

ITV believe this is the earliest telerecording ever made by ATV. Only programmes made by ITV on film survive from earlier. It's experimental in nature and quite poor in places. ITV's own records state that it was never recorded.
