ReplyDeleteCheers Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteWas afraid this was going to happen. Such a shame.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anonymous for the fills.
27-6-97 - Echo & The Bunnymen back in the Top 10 with their first single since 1988, and in the TOTP studio, what took them so long?
ReplyDelete4-7-97 - Sash! now on their second single and back in the TOTP studio with their second No.2, but this time with male lead vocals, moving from French to Spanish for the new single Equador.
Also a new entry and peak position of No.21 for Jean Michel Jarre with Oxygene 10, having recently peaked at No.17 in March with Oxygene 8.
11-7-97 Phil Collins with a new entry and peak position of No.43 with Wear My Hat, having recently peaked at No.30 at the end of 1996 with It's In Your Eyes. Nothing further to come from Collins until late 1998.
Hi! Could you please repeat the links to 13-6-97 and 20-6-97
ReplyDeleteNo links were posted on those, they on iplayer
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteHi, has anyone else noticed episodes of 1997 are on U&Eden now? seem to be a few weeks ahead of bbc4
ReplyDeleteAre they showing the July and Aug 1997 episodes currently being left out by BBC4?
DeleteNo
Delete12/12/97 is first episode tonight
Deleteyes I mentioned this on the 6.6.1997 thread. Been recording them as a backup in case there are any issues with the BBC 4 reruns
DeleteU&Eden are continuing up to 25th March with the repeats at least and I assume continuing on. Looking forward to seeing Crush, Jennifer Paige from Sept '98 if they get that far. Picture quality is fine though it does feel weird to see them somewhere else.
DeleteI'd swap all of them to see the totp 2 '60s and '70s specials on TV again. Please repeat them BBC4! Yours, a superfan. Fabulous clips from 1970 were shown I recall.
You may be interested to know that the 18th March 1976 edition has been recovered in recent weeks! DLT alas but maybe it will get a repeat through the Kal event at the BFI. Here's hoping. Features Pan's People dancing to The Eagles Take It To The Limit and from the '75 repeats Pan's do The Eagles very well.
I must say that the picture quality on U&Eden is awful, as I have an HD tv and most of the main channels are in HD, but this U&Eden channel is really grainy, as if it was from the 60s or 70s videos in old nitrate. I'm sticking to BBC4, with or without some of the shows!
DeleteDon't know why they can't have edited Puff Daddy out of the 11th July edition since he wasn't over the credits?
ReplyDeleteBecause he was no.1 and they won't show an episode with the no.1 cut out
DeleteThey could have shown Faith's bit then cut to Zoe as they didn't show much of it anyway. Easy edit and I agree with Angelo

Many thanks Anonymous - so sorry but I have fallen a bit behind with all the missing episodes and the WeTransfer link has now unfortunately expired.
ReplyDeleteI would be very grateful if it might be possible to make the links to the 27/6, 4/7, 11/7 episodes live again.
Many thanks, Bob
I second this, I am very behind catching up with these episodes, and a re-up would be even more appreciated than the work you already do.
DeleteU&Eden videos here are better quality then previous bbc4. Bitrate higher
