Cheers Michael, What is not terribly clear from the article is whether the film found is original material from the BBC or someone's footage from pointing a camera at the TV ! I know in the past that things have turned up because employees from the Beeb actually took stuff home. And saved it from destruction ! Just need someone to find Nick Drake's Peel sessions now. Years ago I found myself in the company of someone who was working on the BBC series 'Sounds of the Sixties/Seventies'; it was terrible to discover that it was someone with little or no interest in what they were doing. Frankly I would have died for a job that involved watching everything in the archives and making a selection. | ||

Similar experience years ago, I was contacted by a production company doing a show on new wave for bbc radio 2 a few years ago, they contacted me thru the josef k site i did wanting to get malcolm ross on the show, speaking to the guy, he seemed absoultely fu*kin clueless about what he was researching, he interviewed malcolm i seem to remember, the guy didnt even know that he played in OJ and Aztec et al, such a shame, as you say Andrew, i'd have given my right toe to have undertaken something like this. I n the end, all the show did was to highlight very vague similarities between franz ferdinand and josef k, ridic. |
