The Mausoleum Club Forum

I don't know for certain, but could it be from The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive documentary that he did? A revised version was shown in 2007. Later the same year he also did the documentary series HIV and Me and there was the one off Stephen Fry: 50 Not Out . Yes and also a Mark Lawson inter...

There were some clips on the BBC website, but what program did they come from...? Anyone? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/k5UxdTzdhyA/hqdefault.jpg I guess this is now archive television rather than current programs! LATER EDIT: So to elaborate, this is part of the Fry at 50 weekend on BBC4; only the clips l...

Slightly off topic, but I wouldn't mind seeing this tape...

So it is!

Well, it was used later than 1968 of course. I meant it couldn't be younger.

If anyone could identify this theme tune, which was ultimately not even used, I'd be really grateful! It can't be later than 1968, that's all I know.

Posting a link to just a short fragment, that should probably be safe I hope?

Europans at the door? Sounds like it's going to be No Deal then! ;)

Not H.G. Wells related perhaps?

That too. A kid in 1982 wouldn't have made allowances for the possibility that it could be missing.

But my question is still open. Andrew P perhaps?

It's called double exposure!

Am I correct in saying that there is no home recorded audio of the lost episode either?

Never seen it in colour and as a very good doc it would have been rerun on BBC2 and probably on every year in the colour era if it had been. A possibility may be that it was shot on colour negative and just issued with B/W prints for BBC economy? Someone checked this and it seems that the negative ...

Over on another board, someone recently claimed to have seen "The epic that never was" (1965) in colour (except for the archive footage) in a shorter cut in the USA. Any chance it's true? I'm not immediately convinced it isn't just a mistake, but I suppose it could have been shot on colour film for ...

There is an article online, that I can't put my finger on right now... It’s this one... http://www.britishtelevisiondrama.org.uk/?p=7284 In my memory it was far more definite in its conclusions, but yes that's it. I see now that it ends more on a note of " sometimes it was done, we can't assume we'...

The entire 1956 season of Billy Bunter is telerecorded too - I couldn't guess why. For repeats - as Simon’s listing up thread shows, the number of productions performed twice in the same week dropped dramatically after 1954. Now, without going looking, that’s either because same-week repeats weren’...

OK, but why the earliest were made is a slightly different topic. (The entire 1956 season of Billy Bunter is telerecorded too - I couldn't guess why.) Hm, does anyone know, was telerecording a performance more expensive than re-staging? I hope this don't break the rules as it's Network's own promo, ...

At a guess, I would say yes. What numbers, I haven't a clue, but video would offer a useful tool for repeats where the tape could be re-used keeping expenses to a minimum. Film, once struck, is relatively permanent, so unless there was a specific will to keep it for sales or continued re-use, it wo...

Were there many shows done live and taped?
I would have associated this more with telerecording, although that is just an assumption.

But by that time, the Avengers were no longer performed live, surely? So that's another topic, strictly speaking, of mistakes that went uncorrected. Many live recordings having mistakes - true, but that could also be a reason why they'd start to try and prevent that from happening. (In a French exam...

There is an article online, that I can't put my finger on right now (a sister site of https://screenplaystv.wordpress.com or one of their contributors I thought), that argues that live recorded drama was often edited a bit afterwards. Most obvious example would be a second take on any scenes that we...

Managed to catch the Saturday screening of "No Hiding Place" on TPTV, most enjoyable and a great cast in it as well.

Recovered by TPTV from... a private collector!...lets hope they come up with more goodies.

They did.

I caught a bit of Budgie the other night. I didn't see it all but got the gist the Charlie Endell had lumbered him with some illegal Pakistani immigrants. I thought yes well that would have just been how it was in 1971 with the then illegals pouring in...However there was one line Budgie said near ...

The problem with recovering missing *radio* is that while *we* are interested in the classic DJs and their patter and gags, most people recording 40, 50, 55, years ago only wanted the music. Also a lot of tapes will have been recorded over or thrown out. Also when an elderly person has died, their ...

And apart from the LotR radio drama, may I also mention his impressive performance in The Browning Version?

I wonder if anyone with non-Dr Who missing material is worried about a flurry of "You Don't have any Dr Who?", "If you have that you MUST have some" pestering from the psychotic part of fandom. As i said, there is an excellent reason why the Australian man or woman who filmed those 8mm DW cine-clip...

There are missing Doctor Who episodes in private hands but, as illustrated by the cine-clips person choosing to be nameless, they wisely don't want the attention of the psychotic part of DW fandom

Yes; but that is strictly speaking a different subject.

That's why most of us are still on faecesbook even though we all know the stuff they've done, or are doing even.

Speak for yourself. I won't join Facebook on principle.

Okay, but it was a general comparison; I didn't mean that that was fully identical to returning missing programs to the BBC.

Right so it's "only" one recovery then. Also some have been treated badly in the past (no thanks and courier fees not reimbursed), or know others who have, so won't return on principle. Yeah, but they're punishing others. And people who on principle refuse to deal with the BBC, for reasons of their...
