I had seen clips off this show, but never a full edition until they were repeated on BBC4 in the UK tonight (Nov 3rd 2023) and what a treat! Bobbie sharing each episode with a carefully chosen guest - in these particular shows - Donovan, The Hollies, Jerry Reed, Long John Baldry, Sue and Sonny (of The Brotherhood of Man) The 1968 editions looked and sounded fabulous in their 625 line pal colour glory with excellent music production. It's such a shame that Thirteen out of the 18 of the shows have been wiped by the BBC as they are a great time capsule of a exciting time in music and such a pity the editions with Elton John, Glen Campbell and The Marmalade are currently lost.
